Not all casualties of war die on the battlefield. In the wake of World War II, Yugoslavia purged its territory of the ethnic Germans who had formed a part of its human mosaic. Tarred with their ethnic origins and the conscription of their fighting-age men into the Waffen SS, the Volksdeutsche, as these settlers were called, were rounded up at the war's end and herded into concentration camps. Those who were not murdered or did not die from the harsh conditions were expelled from the village homes their families had known and loved for three hundred years. Nine years old when she entered the concentration camp in 1945, author Luisa Lang Owen survived the persecution of the Danube Swabians, ev...
At the dawn of the 22nd century a cosmic-scale secret is revealed at the deathbed of a dying scientist. What makes this information so special and esoteric?

A szerző elmúlt másfél évtizedben írt, angol nyelven olvasható tanulmányaiból válogat jelen kötet, amelyek a kisebbségelmélet, a filozófia-és eszmetörténet, illetve a kisebbségi magyar oktatás tematikája köré szervezve kívánják bemutatni az erdélyi magyar kisebbség történetét. Az első tematikus egység a magyar (ezen belül pedig különösen az erdélyi) filozófia és eszmetörténettel foglalkozik, olyan témákat tárgyalva, mint a nemzeti filozófia kérdése, a kisebbségi magyar filozófia helyzete és történetírása, az ún. "kolozsvári iskola" és a köré csoportosuló alkotók kisebbségelméleti fejtegetései, művei. A második egységben a kisebbségvédelem európai szintű helyzetébe és problémáiba, valamint a romániai magyar oktatáspolitika sajátos helyzetébe és kihívásaiba igyekszik betekintést nyújtani a szerző. Ezen írásokban elsősorban az erdélyi magyar felsőoktatás-politika és -stratégia, illetve a romániai egyetemi szintű magyar nyelvű oktatás kérdéseivel foglalkozik. Az írásokat egyenként irodalomjegyzék zárja. A kiadvány román és magyar nyelvű összegzéssel zárul.
"In this paper we analyse the cultural lifestyle of the 18-35 year-old population according to their place in the social structure and ethnicity. Two youth surveys from 2008 about the 18-35 age group form the empirical basis of our analysis, i.e. those ordered by the Romanian Ministry of Youth at national level, on a sample of 998 persons, separately analysing the Hungarian youth from Romania. Following the analysis of the formation of cultural lifestyles, we compare cultural capital and social stratification formed according to traditional forms of capital and occupational status, based on an index construed on economic and cultural capital. In the third part of our study we analyse the social disposition of young people from a stratification and cultural lifestyle perspective"--Abstract
