        Meine Ankunft in Wörtern

        by Marica Bodrožic

        Das Deutsche, ein »Gewirk aus Bewegungen, Tönen, Gerüchen, Kopf- und Körperhaltungen, aus Augenblicken, Augenfarben, Mundregionen und Wangenleuchten«: so sinnlich hat es sich dem neunjährigen Kind nach dem Umzug aus Jugoslawien dargestellt und gleich, trotz vieler Widerstände, wie ein »wärmendes Kleidungsstück« um sie gelegt. Lag es am Widerstand oder an der Wärme, daß Marica Bodroži? Schriftstellerin geworden ist? Der Abschied vom ersten Land war lange nicht vollzogen, ihre ersten Bücher Tito ist tot und Der Spieler der inneren Stunde zeugen literarisch davon. In Sterne erben, Sterne färben beschreibt sie ihren Weg von den Lücken zu den Wörtern, vom stockenden Atem zum Leben selbst.

        US public diplomacy in socialist Yugoslavia, 1950–70

        Soft culture, cold partners

        by Carla Konta

        The first comprehensive account of the public and cultural diplomacy campaigns carried out by the US in Yugoslavia during the height of the Cold War, this book examines the political role of culture in US-Yugoslav bilateral relations and the fluid links between information and propaganda. Tito allowed the US Information Agency and the State Department's cultural programmes to enter Yugoslavia, liberated from Soviet control. The exchange of intellectual and political personnel helped foster the US-Yugoslav relationship, yet it posed severe ideological challenges for both sides. By providing new insights into porous borders between freedom and coercion in Tito's regime, this book shows how public diplomacy acted as an external input for Yugoslav liberalisation and dissident movements. Using extensive archival research and interviews, Konta analyses the links between information and propaganda, and the unintended effects of propaganda beyond the control of producers and receivers.

        "I am Jugoslovenka!"

        "I am Jugoslovenka!"

        Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism

        by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon

        "I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

        Planet Friedman

        by Josip Mlakić

        In the near future, the world will have changed completely; states and governments will have yielded power to corporations, and our planet is now called Friedman. People live in zones corresponding to their social status; A-zone is reserved for the elite, B-zone for the ones who can still hope, and C-zone for the rejected ones. Greed and money make the world go round; they are absolute virtues, while emotions are a useless burden. Parents and children live apart, and no one cares about the imminent environmental disaster.Physician Gerhard Schmidt is a model member of the elite. He works for a pharmaceutical company, developing doping-drugs and taking care of the athlete star Paula Bolt. Stimulants in sports are common and welcome, and sport shows are as popular as reality shows among the crowd. Paula Bolt grew up in B-zone and brought along books, which no longer exist on the planet. Shakespeare and Yeats will turn Schmidt around, and he will help Paula in her search for the mysterious revolutionary leader.Planet Friedman by one of the best contemporary writers Josip Mlakić brims with allusions to global corporations and contemporary reality. This anti-utopia speaks vehemently  advertisements and the real rulers of our planet. In an emotionless world,Mlakić’s protagonists gradually discover seeds of love and bring hope, but is hope enough to change the world?

        Straight Ahead

        by Emmanuelle Rey

        Mauve, Tito and Diamond have been walking along the highway, under the scorching July sun, for the past three days. It was Mauve who decided everything, on a whim, when she realised that this time, her mom had really messed up. And, at fifteen, it was out of the question to be separated from her eight and two-year-old brothers to live with yet another rotten foster family. So the three siblings leave Montpellier and their chaotic life, closely tailed by the police. They leave to find Thierry and Martine, whose smiles and ratatouille chicken Mauve remembers fondly. They start walking straight ahead to Marseille and La Pointe Rouge, with the hope of a new life. Straight Ahead follows the singular path of Mauve and her two brothers, filled with life-altering adventures and realistic characters. Furthermore, in a series of flashbacks, Mauve tells us all about her mother—an eccentric woman who certainly doesn’t seem able to take care of her children, but who is full of love for them nonetheless. • The complexity of a mother-child relationship, when a mother’s love isn’t enough to make up for her shortcomings • The unique bond between siblings that will help them deal with life on the road • Interesting encounters and experiences — good and bad — that teach valuable life lessons

        Cellini-Freedom Fighter

        This is his true story.

        by Vito "Tutuc" Cellini and Mick J. Prodger

        Born in New York and raised in Italy, Vito “Tutuc” Cellini went from street gangster to soldier to resistance fighter to secret agent – all before he was twenty-one years of age. Drafted into the fascist Italian army against his will and sent to the front line, he deserted and joined Tito’s Yugoslavian Partisans fighting the Nazis, returning to Italy to join the Allies amid one of the biggest cover-ups of the European war. He ended the war working covertly with the American OSS (forerunner of the CIA) hunting down criminals and undesirables. Sailing home to New York in 1948 with a forged Italian passport and just 12 cents in his pocket, he was arrested at Ellis Island. Since then, Cellini’s inventiveness, reputation and irrepressible sense of adventure have taken him all over the world, often putting his life in great peril. Respected by the New York Mafia, Cellini later negotiated with some of the most feared organized crime syndicates in Italy. Nicaragua’s President Somoza sought his advice on guerilla warfare and weapons tactics, and while in Nicaragua he was embroiled in the assassination of a high profile journalist and had to flee for his life. Cellini has kept Federal Agents informed of credible plots to assassinate known enemies of the United States. He even served for a short time, albeit inadvertently, as bodyguard for a notorious drug lord in Mexico. He has never been afraid of taking the law into his own hands because, he says, sometimes that is the only way to survive. His inventions, including the Cellini muzzle brake, have earned him 19 patents and the undying respect and gratitude of members of the U.S. Special Forces and Law Enforcement. He has been privileged to count some of America’s most revered and decorated military heroes among his closest friends. Cellini is, more than anything, a patriot; a man who puts honor above all. And while some of his adventures make fictional spies and secret agents pale by comparison, unlike his fictitious counterparts, Cellini always remained faithful to one woman. Now in his 90s, he finally feels comfortable talking about his life, and he isn’t pulling any punches. The good. The bad. The ugly. The truth. Includes more than 75 photographs.

        by Yxta Maya Murray

        The gripping, thought-provoking stories in Yxta Maya Murray’s latest collection find their inspiration in the headlines. Here, ordinary people negotiate tentative paths through wildfire, mass shootings, bureaucratic incompetence, and heedless government policies with vicious impacts on the innocent and helpless. A nurse volunteers to serve in catastrophe-stricken Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and discovers that her skill and compassion are useless in the face of stubborn governmental inertia. An Environmental Protection Agency employee, whose agricultural-worker parents died after long exposure to a deadly pesticide, finds herself forced to find justifications for reversing regulations that had earlier banned the chemical. A Department of Education employee in a dystopic future America visits a highly praised charter school and discovers the horrific consequences of academic failure. A transgender trainer of beauty pageant contestants takes on a beautiful Latina for the Miss USA pageant and brings her to perfection and the brink of victory, only to discover that she has a fatal secret.The characters in these stories grapple with the consequences of frightening attitudes and policies pervasive in the United States today. The stories explore not only our distressing human capacity for moral numbness in the face of evil, but also reveal our surprising stores of compassion and forgiveness. These brilliantly conceived and beautifully written stories are troubling yet irresistible mirrors of our time.

        THE PARTISANS

        THE PARTISANS

        by JOŽE PIRJEVEC

        This long-awaited book is the first to contain a comprehensive account of the emergence and development of the Partisan movement in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which occupiers and Quislings tried to erase from the map of Europe in 1941. The book contains a considerable amount of information obtained by the author through research in archives in London, Washington, Berlin, Munich, Helsinki and Moscow which to date has remained unknown since some parts of the archives were only opened recently. This extensive monograph is without a doubt Dr. Pirjevec’s life’s work. It is the first comprehensive and synthetic account of the emergence and development of the Partisan movement in the whole of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, from the attack on and disintegration of Yugoslavia in April 1941 up until the end of the war. The author describes the strained relations within the movement, as well as the relations between the Partisans and other military formations (White Guards, Chetniks, Ustashe, Ballists, etc.) and between the Partisans and allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. The book demonstrates that there would have been no national liberation movement without the Communists and their utopian belief that they would create a better future, without their fanaticism, organization and discipline. Above all, the Yugoslav Partisan movement contributed significantly to the defeat of the Third Reich and its satellites and brought victory to the Yugoslav nations. Serbs, Montenegrins and Croats were saved from the shame of collaborationism, and Slovenes and Macedonians were also recognized as European nations with mapped out borders and statehood.

        by Monchinski, T.

        “I trust no one more than Gerassi to make me understand America,” Jean-Paul Sartre Unrepentant Critical Pedagogy encompasses the life, times, and activism of John ‘Tito’ Gerassi.

Major historical figures in Tito’s life include Herbert Marcuse and Michel Foucault, Che Guevara and the Black Panthers, Simone deBeauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, and his own father, the artist and Spanish Civil War Republican General Fernando Gerassi. Unrepentant Critical Pedagogy gathers together a collection of previously unpublished and out of print essays and articles by Tito. There are also three new interviews with John Gerassi by Tony Monchinski examining Tito’s life, his time in the Movement, and his critical pedagogy. John Gerassi is a professor of Political Science at Queens College (CUNY).Tony Monchinski is a high school teacher in Bedford, New York.

        Dvorac u Romagni/A Castle In Romagna

        by Igor Štiks

        A Castle In Romagna (Dvorac u Romagni) by Igor Štiks is a novel that shifts in scene between Renaissance Italy and Tito’s Yugoslavia, telling parallel yet intertwined stories of love, deceit, and betrayal. History repeats itself, and the enduring nostalgia for the comforts of home pervades this emotional work of literature. A tale richly steeped in passion, and the burning desires that drive humans beyond their limits. (Midwest Book Review)              In this compact, intricately structured novel, Štiks has constructed a marvelous hall of mirrors. The stories reflect and foil each other, and the fates of each of the characters connect across time and space. With its coolness and gravity, A Castle in Romagna confirms the novel form’s power to confront the nature of time and memory, and also presents us with a first book at its most mystical and tantalizing.
