Noveller
Noveller som treffer deg i hjertet og magen. Til hundene er Mikkel Vikas tredje novellesamling. Om forrige bok skrev Jonas Bals i Klassekampen: «Mesterlige skildringer av klassekonflikt i det norske sosialdemokratiet.» og at boken inneholdt en av de beste og vondeste far-sønnrelasjoner han har lest. I årets bok fortsetter Mikkel Vika utforskningen av nære relasjoner: foreldre og barn, søsken, parforhold, vennskap, i et tydelig klasseperspektiv. Her finner han de sviende såre punktene, og de små, hverdagslige glimtene av lys. Høyt der oppe slepte et passasjerfly kondensstripa etter seg, en lang, ullen strek. Jeg lurte som vanlig på hvor det skulle. Miami, kanskje, eller Acapulco. Vi...

Xinjiang
Eastern Turkestan, now known as Xinjiang or the New Territory, makes up a sixth of China's land mass. Absorbed by the Qing in the 1880s and reconquered by Mao in 1949, this Turkic-Muslim region of China's remote northwest borders on formerly Soviet Central Asia, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Mongolia, and Tibet, Will Xinjiang participate in twenty-first century ascendancy, or will nascent Islamic radicalism in Xinjiang expand the orbit of instability in a dangerous part of the world? This comprehensive survey of contemporary Xinjiang is the result of a major collaborative research project begun in 1998. The authors have combined their fieldwork experience, linguistic skills, and disciplinary expertise to assemble the first multifaceted introduction to Xinjiang. The volume surveys the region's geography; its history of military and political subjugation to China; economic, social, and commercial conditions; demography, public health, and ecology; and patterns of adaption, resistance, opposition, and evolving identities.
Perspectives on Teaching and Learning English Literacy in China
This is one of two volumes by the same editors that explore historical, philosophical, and cultural perspectives on literacy in China. This volume focuses on English literacy in China, while the other volume is on Chinese literacy. In modern day China, English has enjoyed an increasingly important status in education, but not without challenges. The essays in this volume provide a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary look at changes in English literacy practices and literacy instruction in China from the first English school in the 19th century to recent curriculum reform efforts to modernize English instruction from basic education through higher education. Together, the essays address a wide array of topics, including early childhood English education, uses of information technology to teach English, and teaching English to Chinese minority students. This work is essential reading for those who want to expand their understanding of English literacy education in China.
China's Assimilationist Language Policy
China has huge ethnic minorities – over 40 different groups with a total population of over 100 million. Over time China’s policies towards minority languages have varied, changing from policies which have accommodated minority languages to policies which have encouraged integration. At present integrationist policies predominate, notably in the education system, where instruction in minority languages is being edged out in favour of instruction in Mandarin Chinese. This book assesses the current state of indigenous and minority language policy in China. It considers especially language policy in the education system, including in higher education, and provides detailed case studies of how particular ethnic minorities are being affected by the integrationist, or assimilationist, approach.
Den store MNELANDINGEN
"? og dette skal bli var manelanding" Statsminister Stoltenbergs budskap til det norske folk i nyttarstalen 2006. Det var noe anebrytende som skulle skje, noe med fullskala rensing av CO2 pa vart nye gasskraftverk. Norge skulle igjen vaere foregangslandet. Men usserne, de trodde ikke at Var Manelanding handlet bare om CO2-fangst og umiddelbart fikk statsministerens nyttarshilsen et nytt fokus: Frykten for en rakettbase pa selveste Nordpolen. Denne boken tar for seg livet i skyggen av de hemmelige tjenestene pa sytti- og attitallet og utvikler seg til en krimspionroman med flere stormakter involvert, godt inn i det nye arhundret. Deler av handlingen refererer seg til forfatterens egne opplevelser. Men det meste er fiksjon. Reisen gar blant annet til Dracula-land i ksotiske Transilvania. Bestikkelser, forsok pa verving, overvaking, jaerlighet, brutte lofter, insest, selvmord og mord. Det er nok a ta av. Spenningen topper seg ved avslutningen i Moskva, i Bymarka, Trondheim og den nedlagte Grakallen flystasjon."
