The Trial of Jan Hus
Six hundred years ago, the Czech priest Jan Hus (1371-1415) traveled out of Bohemia, never to return. After a five-year legal ordeal that took place in Prague, in the papal curia, and finally in southern Germany, the case of Jan Hus was heard by one of the largest and most magnificent church gatherings in medieval history: the Council of Constance. Hus was burned alive as a stubborn and disobedient heretic before a huge audience. His trial sparked intense reactions and opinions ranging from satisfaction to condemnations of judicial murder. Thomas A. Fudge offers the first English-language examination of the indictment, relevant canon law, and questions of procedural legality concerning Jan H...
Survivors
In this clear, comprehensive, and unflinching study, Sucheng Chan invites us to follow the saga of Cambodian refugees striving to distance themselves from a series of cataclysmic events in their homeland. Survivors tracks not only the Cambodians' fight for life lives but also their battle for self-definition in new American surroundings. Unparalleled in scope, Survivors begins with the Cambodians' experiences under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime, following them through escape to refugee camps in Thailand and finally to the United States, where they try to build new lives in the wake of massive trauma. Their struggle becomes primarily economic as they continue to negotiate new cultures and dea...
Not Just Victims
Not Just Victims contains twelve oral histories based on conversations with Cambodian community leaders in eight American cities -- Long Beach, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, and the Massachusetts towns of Fall River and Lowell. Unlike the dozens of autobiographies published by Cambodians that focus largely on their victimization, these narratives describe how Cambodian refugees have adapted to life in the United States. Sucheng Chan's extensive introduction provides a historical framework; she discusses the civil war (1970-75), the bloody Khmer Rouge revolution (1975-79), the border war during the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia (1979-89), and the additional travails faced by those who escaped to holding camps in Thailand. The book also includes an essay on oral history and a substantial bibliography.

Geneze pražského reformního hnutí, 1360–1419
Na přelomu 14. a 15. století se v Praze zrodila hereze, která svou silou pozdvihla celou zemi. Z věrnosti k svému mluvčímu mistru Janu Husovi Čechy přervaly pouta s koncilem i císařem, kteří jej vydali světské moci k upálení na hranici. Monografie Oliviera Marina mapuje kořeny tohoto konfliktu. Závěr 14. století byl dobou reforem a nešlo zde jen o tu, kterou později nazveme husitstvím. Hus bezpochyby dokonale ztělesňoval evangelické smýšlení české univerzitní elity. Vedle něj však spolupůsobily i další osobnosti – německy mluvící mistři, představitelé církevní hierarchie nebo zbožní laici. Ačkoli navzájem sdíleli nostalgii po čase apoštolů, jejich představy o Bohu, svátostech i církvi byly rozličné. Jejich dialog tvoří páteř této knihy, která ve výkladu o setkáních i střetávání mezi arcibiskupem, univerzitními mistry a věřícími odhaluje náboženské kořeny střední Evropy. Olivier Marin, absolvent École Normale Supérieure v Paříži, působí jako docent na Université Paris-Nord a v Semináři Saint-Sulpice.
