        Little Pea and the Sneaky Beast

        by Αsadollah Shabani

        Once upon a time, an old couple lived together. They had a good life but had no children. One day, when the old lady was cleaning a bowl of peas, she saw a tiny little girl named “Little Pea”. She wanted to be their daughter. Little Pea went to play outside, but she and her friends lost track of time and were far from home. This was the perfect opportunity for the beast to take them home and eat them. Do you think a tiny girl like Little Pea would be able to defeat a giant beast? “Little Pea and the Sneaky Beast” is an Old Iranian folktale that concentrates on the true potentials and abilities of children regardless of any factors. Little Pea is tiny and different, but that by no means is enough reason that she wouldn’t be able to defeat even the biggest threats! AWARDS & RECOGNITION: Image of the Books Winner, Russia 2020

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic since 1917

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg, Alan Rice

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

        The Red and the Black

        The Russian Revolution and the Black Atlantic

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg

        The Russian Revolution of 1917 was not just a world-historical event in its own right, but also struck powerful blows against racism and imperialism, and so inspired many black radicals internationally. This edited collection explores the implications of the creation of the Soviet Union and the Communist International for black and colonial liberation struggles across the African diaspora. It examines the critical intellectual influence of Marxism and Bolshevism on the current of revolutionary 'black internationalism' and analyses how 'Red October' was viewed within the contested articulations of different struggles against racism and colonialism. Challenging European-centred understandings of the Russian Revolution and the global left, The Red and the Black offers new insights on the relations between Communism, various lefts and anti-colonialisms across the Black Atlantic - including Garveyism and various other strands of Pan-Africanism. The volume makes a major and original intellectual contribution by making the relations between the Russian Revolution and the Black Atlantic central to debates on questions relating to racism, resistance and social change.

        Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage

        by Daniel H Olsen, Maximiliano E Korstanje

        In recent years there has been a growth in both the practice and research of dark tourism; the phenomenon of visiting sites of tragedy or disaster. Expanding on this trend, this book examines dark tourism through the new lens of pilgrimage. It focuses on dark tourism sites as pilgrimage destinations, dark tourists as pilgrims, and pilgrimage as a form of dark tourism. Taking a broad definition of pilgrimage so as to consider aspects of both religious and non-religious travel that might be considered pilgrimage-like, it covers theories and histories of dark tourism and pilgrimage, pilgrimage to dark tourism sites, and experience design. A key resource for researchers and students of heritage, tourism and pilgrimage, this book will also be of great interest to those studying anthropology, religious studies and related social science subjects.

        Kriminalgeschichten aus Skandinavien

        by Carolin Bunk, Hans Sarkowicz

        Mord, das wissen die Krimiexperten, ist im Norden Europas eine besondere Kunst. Alle Mittel sind recht, um langwierige Beziehungsdramen abzukürzen oder den Austausch von Wertgegenständen zu beschleunigen. Das jedenfalls behaupten die skandinavischen Krimiautoren, die bei der Erfindung von raffinierten Todesarten kaum zu schlagen sind. Und noch etwas gehört zu den Spezialitäten ihrer Erzählungen: Es ist selten etwas wirklich so, wie es auf den ersten Blick erscheint. Mit Texten von Henning Mankell, Åke Edwardson, Håkan Nesser, Arne Dahl, Kim Småge u.v.a. Zu hören im Oktober 2008 im Literaturkanal des ICE, zu lesen im insel taschenbuch. Ab November 2008 als Hörbuch im Hörverlag erhältlich.
