Under the Sickle and the Sledgehammer

'A captivating story of courage, belief, and disillusionment under the persistent tyranny of Russian imperialism. Even after 90 years, Kirsti's story is a testament to the ongoing fight for Freedom.' - Ana Khizanishvili, Human Rights Lawyer Under the Sickle and the Sledgehammer was originally published in 1942, as war still raged between Finland and the Soviet Union. The author of this memoir, Kirsti Huurre (a pseudonym, since it was far too risky to reveal her real name), was a Finnish woman who immigrated to the Soviet Union in the 1930s, convinced the new egalitarian state and workers' paradise would provide a better life for her and her young son; she was hopeful that, once settled, she ...

Border images, border narratives

This interdisciplinary volume explores the role of images and narratives in different borderscapes. Written by experienced scholars in the field, Border images, border narratives provides fresh insight into how borders, borderscapes, and migration are imagined and narrated in public and private spheres. Offering new ways to approach the political aesthetics of the border and its ambiguities, this volume makes a valuable contribution to the methodological renewal of border studies and presents ways of discussing cultural representations of borders and related processes. Influenced by the thinking of philosopher Jacques Rancière, this timely volume argues that narrated and mediated images of ...

Luovutetut

Vuoden 2004 Tieto-Finlandian voittaja. Luovutetut kertoo Suomesta jatkosodan aikana Natsi-Saksaan luovutettujen ihmisten ja heidän omaistensa tarinan. Elina Sanan monivuotinen tutkimustyö perustuu luovutettujen ihmisten ja heidän omaistensa haastatteluihin ja mittaviin arkistotutkimuksiin kotimaassa ja ulkomailla. Teos kertoo, keitä luovutetut olivat, mitä heille tapahtui, miten he joutuivat elämään ja miksi jotkut heistä kuolivat. Journalistinen dokumenttikirja jatkaa ja laajentaa Elina Sanan Kuoleman laiva s/s Hohenhörn -teoksessa avaamaa vaiettua ja arkaa aihetta. Luovutetut herätti ilmestyessään laajaa huomiota aina ulkomaita myöten. Suomen hallitus tilasi selvityksen ihmisluovutuksista emeritusprofessori Heikki Ylikankaalta. Silloinen pääministeri Matti Vanhanen päätti perustuttaa Suomen Kansallisarkiston alaisuuteen laajan akateemisen tutkimushankkeen, joka tarkensi kirjassa kuvattuja tapahtumia edelleen. Teos sai Sadankomitean Rauhanpalkinnon vuonna 2003 ja palkittiin Tieto-Finlandialla vuonna 2004.
