The Scar We Know
A bi-lingual edition of Lida Yusupova's poetry.
The Freest Speech in Russia
The first English-language study of contemporary Russian poetry and its embrace of freedom—formally, thematically, and spiritually Since 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall, Russian poetry has exuded a powerful awareness of freedom, both aesthetic and political. No longer confined to the cultural underground, poets reacted with immediacy to events in the world. In The Freest Speech in Russia, Stephanie Sandler offers the first English-language study of contemporary Russian poetry, showing how these poems both express and exemplify freedom. This period was a time of great poetic flourishing for Russian poets, whether they remained in Russia or lived elsewhere. Sandler examines the work of ...

The 2nd edition of Encyclopedia of Violence, Peace and Conflict provides timely and useful information about antagonism and reconciliation in all contexts of public and personal life.

Allah's Angels
In this comprehensive portrait of the women of Chechnya in modern war, Paul Murphy challenges conventional thinking on why they fight and are willing to kill themselves in the name of Allah. His book covers the two wars with Russia in 1994 and 1999 and the present conflict with Islamic Jihadists. It argues that these wars forced Chechen women to venture far beyond their traditional roles and advance their human rights but that the current movement championing traditional Islam is taking those rights away. Drawing on personal interviews, insider resources, and other materials, Murphy presents powerful portrayals of women who fight in the Chechen Jihad, including snipers, suicide bombers and the mysterious “Black Widows,” as well as women who collect intelligence, hide arms, and perform other non-combatant roles.
Protecting and Supporting Human Rights Defenders in Europe
For victims of human rights violations, human rights defenders are like a beacon of hope shining through the darkness of oppression. Through their work for the protection and realisation of human rights, injustices by authorities are unmasked, public awareness is raised and democratic control is exercised. Their devotion to fighting human rights violations, often at the risk of their own lives, cannot be praised too highly. The colloquy "Protecting and supporting human rights defenders in Europe", held in Strasbourg under the auspices of the Council of Europe, proved an ideal opportunity for frank and constructive exchanges between representatives of civil society and governments from the 46 member states of the Council of Europe on the obstacles encountered by human rights defenders in their work and the responses by the Council of Europe and other international actors to their concerns. This volume contains all the contributions to the plenary session as well as the reports from the three workshops.

ULUSLARARASI SENDİKAL HAREKET
Küresel kapitalizmin etkisini arttırmasıyla, işçi sınıfının uluslararası örgütlülüğünün her zamankinden çok daha önemli hale geldiği görülür. Sermayenin küreselleşmesi, sendikal hareketin uluslararası anlamda oluşturacağı bütünleşmeyi bir gereklilik haline getirir. Rekabet gücünden beslenen sermaye karşısında, emek hareketinin dayanışmadan güç alıyor olması bu durumu daha anlaşılır kılmaktadır. Böyle bir dönemde uluslararası sendikal hareketin yeni bir oluşum çabası içine girmesi ve ortaya çıkan sorunların çözümüne yönelik sendikal strateji arayışları son derece anlamlıdır. Bu tartışmalarla eş zamanlı kurulan Uluslararas...
