        Mein litauischer Führerschein

        Ausflüge zum Ende der Europäischen Union

        by Felix Ackermann

        Was hält Europa heute noch zusammen? Was haben die Litauer in einem Vierteljahrhundert aus ihrer neu gewonnenen Freiheit gemacht? Und wie funktioniert die Europäische Union an ihren östlichen Außengrenzen? Statt diese Fragen theoretisch zu erörtern, verlässt Felix Ackermann 2011 mit seiner Familie Berlin, um Gastwissenschaftler an einer weißrussischen Exiluniversität in der litauischen Hauptstadt Vilnius zu werden. Seine Kinder lernen Litauisch und werden zu kleinen Patrioten erzogen. Seine Frau bringt eine Tochter zur Welt, die sogleich einen litauischen Personencode erhält. Und Felix Ackermann macht endlich seinen Führerschein in einer Kleinstadt namens Utena. In Ton, Witz, Kurzweiligkeit an Steffen Möllers Viva Polonia erinnernd, erzählt der Osteuropahistoriker und Journalist Felix Ackermann vom Leben in einem Land, in dem postsowjetische Verhaltensweisen, nationale Selbstfindung und europäische Träume koexistieren. Und das durch die negative Haltung gegenüber den Flüchtlingen aus dem Nahen Osten einerseits, der Angst vor einem aggressiv erstarkenden Russland andererseits ganz neu herausgefordert wird.

        Nüwa Repairs the Heaven

        by Zhou Jing,Ye Xiong

        Nüwa Repairs the Heaven was recounted by children's literature writer Zhou Jing and contemporary painter Ye Xiong, the latter recarving stories and characters in the style of Chinese painting. The integration of the poetry of the text and the richness of the painting is a wonderful interpretation of ancient myths, which expresses the unique Chinese charm and Chinese spirit. Nu Wa Repairs the Heaven is a classic story in ancient Chinese mythology. It contains philosophical questions of how human beings examined themselves and thought about their origins. It is a famous piece of myths passed over generation by generation via words of mouth. Through the writer's new narrative, this book boldly breaks through the tradition but does not lose sight of it. It uses poetic words to describe the tranquility and beauty of the world in its initial stage, and makes the female figure more delicate and fuller in the book.

        In the shadow of Enoch Powell

        Race, locality and resistance

        by Shirin Hirsch, John Solomos

        Fifty years ago Enoch Powell made national headlines with his 'Rivers of Blood' speech, warning of an immigrant invasion in the once respectable streets of Wolverhampton. This local fixation brought the Black Country town into the national spotlight, yet Powell's unstable relationship with Wolverhampton has since been overlooked. Drawing from interviews and archival material, this book offers a rich local history through which to investigate the speech, bringing to life the racialised dynamics of space during a critical moment in British history. What was going on beneath the surface in Wolverhampton and how did Powell's constituents respond to this dramatic moment? The research traces the ways in which Powell's words reinvented the town and uncovers highly contested local responses. While Powell left Wolverhampton in 1974, the book returns to the city to explore the collective memories of the speech which continue to reverberate. In a contemporary period of new crisis and national divisions, revisiting the shadow of Powell allows us to reflect on racism and resistance from 1968 to today.

        The Torture Camp on Paradise Street

        by Stanislav Aseyev

        There is a prison operating in present-day Ukraine, where horrific torture techniques are being utilized. This prison is, in reality, a concentration camp, beyond whose fencing no laws reach. Life there is lived in humiliation, fear, and uncertainty. Wounds and burn marks cover bodies that are filled with pain from broken bones and, often too, broken wills. The principal tasks here are surviving after the desire to live has forsaken you and nothing in the world depends on you any longer, preserving your sanity as you teeter on the brink of madness, and remaining a human being in conditions so inhuman that faith, forgiveness, hate, and even a torturer locking eyes with his victim become laden with manifold meanings. The journalist Stanislav Aseyev, imprisoned in this torture camp on trumped-up charges of “espionage,” wrote this frank, emotional, and probing memoir in an attempt to both survive and recover from the hell he was cast into. He offers more questions than answers in this book, as testament to the fact that the lives of those released from the prison at 3 Paradise Street will forever remain divided into “pre-” and “post-.”
