Postcolonial Europe? Essays on Post-Communist Literatures and Cultures
An analysis of post-communist identity reconstructions under the impact of experiences such as migration and displacement, collective memory and trauma, and cultural self-colonization. The book facilitates a mutually productive dialogue between postcolonialism and post-communism, mapping the rich terrain of contemporary East-Central European creative writing and visual art.
Beyond the Kremlin’s Reach?
This volume examines relations between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and socialist Eastern European states during the Cold War. The chapters take previous findings on government policy and China’s role as a global player in the Cold War game as a starting point to locate the PRC in the socialist world and assess levels of interaction beyond diplomatic and governmental relations. By focusing on transfers and interconnections and the social dimension of governmental interactions, the primary goal of this book is to explore structures, institutions, and spaces of interaction between China and Eastern Europe and their potential autonomy from political conjunctures. The guiding questio...
Moving In and Out of Islam
Embracing a new religion, or leaving one’s faith, usually constitutes a significant milestone in a person’s life. While a number of scholars have examined the reasons why people convert to Islam, few have investigated why people leave the faith and what the consequences are for doing so. Taking a holistic approach to conversion and deconversion, Moving In and Out of Islam explores the experiences of people who have come into the faith along with those who have chosen to leave it—including some individuals who have both moved into and out of Islam over the course of their lives. Sixteen empirical case studies trace the processes of moving in or out of Islam in Western and Central Europe...
Non-Finite Relativization. A Typological Study in Accessibility.
The monograph is dealing with the non-finite relativization formally marked by the absence of dependent clauses. The traditional grammar tends to classify these constructions in terms of sentences with multiple attribute. In a number of languages, however, such constructions represent the unique way to express relativity (Turkic languages, Korean, Japanese, among others). The primary aim of the study is to establish the relation between subject and non-subject non-finite relatives in database languages: Arabic, Hungarian, Turkish and Korean. In contrast to Indo-European languages, like English, German and Russian, where the non-finite relativization is reduced to subject, that of all database languages involves non-subject as well. This monograph explores the structural parameters controlling the relation betweem subject and non-subject relatives (mainly the type of relativizer and word-order) which may considerably vary.

Modality in Bengali.
The book describes the basic concepts and types of modality in Bengali, classifies them and concurrently shows through which linguistic means the individual modal domains are expressed in Bengali within socio-cultural environment. Close attention is particularly paid to the event modality, but the propositional (epistemic) modality is also discussed. The analysis presents both similarities and differences in the expression of this cross-linguistic semantic category between Bengali and other languages.
