In Freiheit
Im Dezember 1989 fand die kommunistische Herrschaft in Rumänien ihr plötzliches und vor allem gewaltsames Ende. Der Umbruch eröffnete Spielräume und Handlungsmöglichkeiten, die zuvor undenkbar schienen. Die Menschen in Rumänien fanden sich plötzlich in Freiheit wieder. Fortan konnte all das offen angesprochen werden, was im Kommunismus nicht thematisiert werden durfte. Damit schuf der Umbruch auch die Möglichkeit, die jüngere Vergangenheit des Landes öffentlich neu zu diskutieren und zu bewerten. Wie sich die Auseinandersetzung mit Zeitgeschichte in Rumänien in den ersten zwei Jahrzehnten seit dem Umbruch gestaltete, ist Thema der vorliegenden Untersuchung. In mehrfacher Hinsicht breit angelegt, eröffnet sie einen tiefen Einblick in gesellschaftliche, kulturelle und politische Wandlungsprozesse in Rumänien nach 1989.

Children of Bondage
The Dutch East India Company's introduction of the first slave into the region known as the Cape of Good Hope in 1653 established an institution whose legal status ended in 1838 but whose social and political reverberations are still felt today. Children of Bondage is the story of the social, cultural, and biological progeny of that slave society. Robert Shell examines the complex and highly stratified hierarchies that evolved in South Africa, and outlines how its multiracial system of slavery was distinct from the biracial system that arose in the New World. Shell argues that while frontier and class interests were significant factors in South Africa's history, these influences were secondary manifestations of a more universal force, namely, the family as the fundamental unit of subordination. He explores the history of oceanic and domestic slave trades, sexual and gender relations within the slave hierarchy, religious and ethnic identities among slaves, and the promises and realities of manumission. By viewing the institution of South African slavery from many levels he concludes, "Not only slaves were in bondage; in a profound sense, the owners were as well."
