Overeducated and Over Here: Skilled EU Migrants in Britain

Author(s): Bradley Saunders / Language(s): English

The UK’s offer of immediate free access to A8 workers resulted in a larger-than-expected influx of A8 migrants to the UK, which caused a public backlash and heated debates over the benefits and costs of large-scale immigration. Much has been written about the political and economic impact of this influx. This book focuses instead on the complex interweaving factors affecting the work and non-work lives of skilled migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their work experience, skills and interests. The focus on the European context addresses the need for a better understanding of contemporary labour mobility within the EU. The important, though often neglected, perspective of individuals who take on work below their level forms the focus of this book. In-depth interviews analyse the lived experiences of migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their qualifications and experience."Having spent approximately half my life away from my home country, it is perhaps not surprising that I chose to examine the lives of others who made similar decisions. A culture of migration runs in the family. I have met many others who also left their home country’s shores. Whether these were academics from London or labourers from Lahore, my conversations with them made me reflect on and question our life choices and experiences. Why had we decided to leave one country and move to another? Was there something different about us compared to our peers who did not make such a move?"

Economic Survival Strategies of Turkish Migrants in London

Author(s): Olgu Karan / Language(s): English

Olgu Karan’s research offers original insights for anyone interested in how and why particular parts of London are now strongly identified with migrants from particular regions of the world.North London’s Green Lanes, a street stretching from Hackney to Haringey, or in local vernacular, from Stoke Newington to Wood Green, has undergone huge transformations over the past 50 years.Turkish Cypriot migrants first came in significant numbers to North London after the 1974 war that displaced hundreds of thousands of both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. They and later Turkish-speaking migrants mainly got jobs in London’s textile manufacturing industry. Those industries largely disappeared in the 1990s.In the 2010s Green Lanes now has several hundred Kurdish and Turkish restaurants and shops. These employ thousands of first, second and third generation Turkey-originating self-employed or family helpers. Karan’s research explains how this massive shift from employed status to self-employed took place. He records the economic devastation brought about by the rapid collapse of the textile industry, arguing this created the struggle for survival that forced thousands into self-employment. Insightfully, Karan also explores the economic basis of this shift. As textile workers, few Turkey-originating migrants had been able to save all the capital they needed to set-up take-away cafes, restaurants or off-licences and general food stores.The book traces the creation of ethnic partnerships and a willingness to provide loans to Imece/Zibare. These are the Turkish and Kurdish names given to village-scale collaborations for harvesting, constructing a water pipeline, providing security for village’s grazing borders with neighbouring villages.

PRZESTRZEŃ PUBLICZNA A PRZEMIANY MIASTA

Author(s): Małgorzata Dymnicka / Language(s): Polish

Przestrzeń publiczna, której rodowód sięga czasów starożytności, należy do tych obszarów miejskiej struktury, o których można powiedzieć, że pozwalają na doświadczanie obecności Innych. Dzięki takich cechom, jak otwartość, dostępność, czytelność, można się w niej znaleźć z osobistym bagażem biografii, niebędącym przeszkodą dla pozostałych jej użytkowników. W ostatnich latach sporo miejsca w dyskursie publicznym zajmuje kwestia zaniku, upadku, ale też odrodzenia przestrzeni publicznej. Dynamika kapitalizmu i związana z nim globalizacja, zawrotne tempo przemian w dziedzinie technologii informacyjnej i komunikacji powodują, że dawny porządek oparty na sztywnych podziałach prywatne–publiczne traci powoli na znaczeniu. Odrzucając dwa skrajne stanowiska: z jednej strony apokaliptyczną wizję upadku przestrzeni publicznej, z drugiej zaś – bezkrytyczne jej odrodzenie, w książce podjęto próbę pokazania, że każda z tych perspektyw rodzi różne konceptualizacje, transformacje i rekonstrukcje o charakterze przestrzennym, społecznym i kulturowym, wpisując się w szerszy projekt kształtowania współczesnych tożsamości miasta.

PROBLEMY OCHRONY PRAW CZŁOWIEKA W AFRYCE

Author(s): Grażyna Michałowska / Language(s): Polish

Za jedno z największych osiągnięć społecznych drugiej połowy XX wieku uznać można instytucjonalizację systemu ochrony praw człowieka i nadanie im wyróżnionej roli w stosunkach międzynarodowych.W Polsce stan badań nad prawami człowieka w krajach pozaeuropejskich prezentuje się dość skromnie ze względu na kłopoty z dostępem do materiałów źródłowych, egzotykę niektórych zjawisk i związane z nią ryzyko niewłaściwego rozpoznania istoty problemów. Książka ta jest unikatową, pionierską pracą w tej dziedzinie. Omówiono w niej całościowo funkcjonowanie praw człowieka w Afryce, odnosząc się do najważniejszych ich aspektów: od standardów wypracowanych w ramach ONZ i Unii Afrykańskiej, do dyskusji oryginalnych rozwiązań sądownictwa afrykańskiego. Sporo uwagi poświęca Autorka sytuacji kobiet na kontynencie.Grażyna Michałowska przedstawia w klarowny i uporządkowany sposób poszczególne zagadnienia w układzie problemowym, ujmując kontynent całościowo, ale nie ignorując jego wewnętrznego zróżnicowania. Analiza stanu przestrzegania praw człowieka w Afryce uwzględnia specyficzną perspektywę kulturową, bez której nie sposób pojąć procesów zachodzących w tej dziedzinie. Dzięki rozważaniom zawartym w tej książce łatwiej zrozumieć trudne i budzące protest obrońców praw człowieka afrykańskie praktyki dotyczące kary śmierci, stosowania kar cielesnych czy stosunku do kobiet. Wielkim jej atutem są bogate i aktualne materiały źródłowe.

FAKE NEWS - A ROADMAP

Author(s): / Language(s): English

In the summer of 2017 a group of students on the Strategic Communications Masters at King’s College London decided to bring some clarity to the discussion of Fake News. Their concern was that what separated truth from untruth had for too long been obscured—made ever less intelligible by certain people intent on distorting responsible debate, while others simply fail to do their research. The term Fake News has become the default catchphrase for truth-seekers wishing to label inaccurate reporting, truth-obscurers spreading malevolent assertions, or the unprepared who simply want to close down uncomfortable discussion. The shorthand expression ‘Fake News’ may fit neatly into tweeted messages, but willing amplifiers have spread it across all media, traditional and social, without necessarily giving it a meaningful definition. Fake News: A Roadmap is published by King’s Centre for Strategic Communications (KCSC) and the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence, in Riga, Latvia. Both organisations are committed to encouraging young talent and innovative thinking. In keeping with NATO’s remit, this book is published and made available free of charge to any reader around the world. Fake News: A Roadmap is edited by Jente Althuis and Leonie Haiden. Its authors are Iona Allan, Jente Althuis, Alexander Averin, Giulia Conci, Sarah Dooley, Erin Duffy, Douglas Gray, Leonie Haiden, Mitchell Ilbury, Natalia Kantovich, Chelsea McManus, Celeste Michaud, Emma Moore, Kierat Ranautta-Sambhi, and Siri Strand.

DIGITAL HYDRA: SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF FALSE INFORMATION ONLINE

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The study investigates misinformation and disinformation on social media in the context of the rise of ‘fake news’ and the birth of the ‘post-truth’ era. Are these concerns substantiated by facts? What are the consequences of these phenomena for the information environment? Most importantly, do these phenomena pose a threat for our societal security? This study will provide actionable knowledge by answering to these questions. This introduction is an attempt to position the emergence of ‘fake news’ in a wider societal context. Particular emphasis is placed on the cognitive biases that enable information manipulation. In turn, this will lead to a discussion about the tactics employed by adversarial actors to carry out information activities.

Срби у Темишвару

Author(s): Mirjana Pavlović / Language(s): Serbian

This book is dedicated to the customs, culture and way of life of Serbs in Timisoara. The emphasis is on the strategies of constructing and achieving community and layered identities (national/ethnic, dual, regional, local) within a historic discourse. The data presented in this book has been gathered through various means. Aside from archival material and statistical data on the life of the community, as well as relevant theoretical approaches in the study of ethnicity, the most important data was acquired through fieldwork. The research began in 2002, and took place over a series of short-term visits to the city in 2002, 2003 and 2005. The method of participant observation was applied to many everyday as well as festive situations in the family and social lives of Serbs in Timisoara. I have attended numerous liturgies, weddings, christenings, choir and folklore association rehearsals and performances, family and social celebrations and sporting events. Interviews, surveys and informal conversations were conducted with members of the community encompassing both sexes, all ages and varying social status, political and religious affiliations. Among my informants there were people whose connections to the church weren’t strong, as well as people from mixed marriages. Aside from this, I had tried to gather data on the lives of Serbs between the World wars or earlier indirectly – through the narratives of their descendants.

Наслеђивање између обичаја и закона сa посебним освртом на област Врања

Author(s): Jadranka Đorđević-Crnobrnja / Language(s): Serbian

Inheritance relation and institution of inheritance are the main subjects of this book. Inheritance is a process regulating the transfer of property by the deceased among his/hers inheritors. The transfer of property, assets, as well as certain rights and obligations from the deceased to inheritors settles in probate proceedings. Since 1955, inheritance in Serbia can be two fold: legal and testamentary. The Serbian legislature does not recognize other inheritances, such as inheritance contract. Therefore, an inheritance is possible only when a person dies, or when a person is declared dead. Legal inheritance presumes the deceased is inherited by his/hers legal inheritors, divided into inheritance levels according to kinship relatedness and kinship lineage with the deceased. Furthermore, inheritors of the closer inheritance levels exclude from the inheritance inheritors of the further inheritance level, hence the principle of exclusion is applied. The first inheritance level includes the deceased biological and adopted offspring, as well as conjugal partners. Persons related by blood with the deceased, that is, related by birth, have an equal right to inheritance as persons related by civil kinship, that is, related by adoption with the deceased. Gender equality of all offspring is one of the main legal rules of inheritance established by the socialist legislature in Serbia. Legal inheritance also assumes the rule according to which all inheritors of the same level have an equal right to inheritance. An exception to this rule is a spouse, for he/she, within legal inheritance, is entitled to one half of the deceased assets. That is, this inheritance portion is larger than inheritance portions of the deceased’s offspring, or all other inheritors. Testamentary inheritance, in contrast to legal, grants a person to dispose his/her property at own discretion. At the same time, the Law on Inheritance regulates that a testament cannot be open or property divided until the death of the Testator. In this way, compliance is attained between rules about testamentary inheritance and general rules of inheritance, as defined in the Law of Inheritance. Despite this regulation, practice often witnesses deviations from certain legal normative. Disagreement of theory and practice is not a sole characteristic of inheritance but also of other spheres in civil law. The institution of inheritance and inheritance practice do differ, however, from other law spheres in explicit parallel application of legal and customary normative. This parallel practice is in application throughout Serbia for more than a century in spite that civil law and legislation do not consider customary normative as a source of law. Customary law, due to this refutation, so represents an illegitimate law system. This issue provokes a number of questions, primarily: within legal and testamentary inheritance, how it is possible to have a parallel application of legal (official) and customary normative while at the same time, the whole procedure is considered legal? The parallel application of customary and law normative is not problematic solely in this matter but also raises a concern of collision in between the two respective normative. The collision emerges as a result of essentially different, opposed principles of inheritance within the two law systems.

Polityka klimatyczna państwa. Norweska droga do zrównoważonego rozwoju

Author(s): Katarzyna Dośpiał-Borysiak / Language(s): Polish

The research assumption of this publication is an in-depth analysis of the process of forming, articulating and implementing the climate policy of Norway. The analysis is aimed at identifying the national conditions of climate action and then examining their translation into the international activity of the state. The choice of Norway was provoked by an interesting question how climate policy is formulated and conducted in a highly developed country, with a consolidated form of democracy and high aspirations in the field of environmental protection, which also has based its development model on oil and gas exports. The analysis of the last three decades of the Norwegian climate policy entitles to the conclusion that the state has managed to combine the roles of the ecological leader and the hydrocarbon exporter. The reflections are focused on showing the political process, determinants, the institutional and legal framework as well as strategies and tools for implementing the adopted objectives of the Norwegian climate policy. The research assumption is to show dependent and independent variables of Norwegian climate policy. The subjects of research are first of all state bodies, but also political parties as well as social organizations and groups (formal and informal). The processual nature of research shows, above all, the evolution of the Norwegian climate policy assumptions over three decades, taking into account their continuity and change. The analysis intentionally covers both political, economic and social ramifications, with the aim to show their complex character, but also to explain the state’s motivation in the international environment.

Становништво и насеља општине Pашка у функцији привредног развоја

Author(s): Radoslav D. Pavlović / Language(s): Serbian

Economic development is certainly the main driving force of demographic and urban geographical changes that arc its function in a certain area and in certain period of socially historical development Characteristics of MECHANICAL MOVING OF POPULATION MIGRATION in the period between Austrian-Turkish wars and The Second World War arc these: This area was on the way of migration currents from Kosovo, Metohija, Montenegro, Hercegovina, Ibarski Kolašin, the area around Novi Pazar and The Sjenica Peštar plateau. It was a phased migration area and each larger immigration was preceded by emigration. The migration from the higher to the lower height above the sea level was conditioned by strengthening of agriculture in comparison with cattle raising, and the migration from villages to towns was conditioned by development of non agricultural activities in the town of Kaška. Periodic and permanent migrations of population were the cause and effect of economic development Seasonal migration of cattle raisers was in connection with semi- nomadic way of raising cattle. Migrations that arc connected with activities of hired coachmen and workmen were conditioned with the development of trade and traffic of hired coachmen and workmen. Seasonal migrations appeared because of the people from the mountains who bought land on the lower height above the sea. Moving of peasants to the town of Raška on market days and during the spring and autumn fair was enlarged with the development of trade in the town. Characteristics of migration after the Second World War are these: Directions of migrations across this area are the same as previous directions of migration currents, and this confirms even more all the necessities that had been the cause of migrations in this area for centuries. The function of phased migration stop did not belong to rural settlements any more, but to the urban areas and suburbs. The influence of migration currents from Montenegro and Pešlar plateau weakened in this period, and the influence of migration current from Kosovo and Metohija strengthened and the important current from the area around Novi Pazar was left. There were less marriage migrations, visiting because of the dowry, and the migrations of girls because of getting married were not only of local character, but they had the character of emigration of population from this area, and in this way the migration from villages to towns became more intensive. Migrations from villages to towns arc the main inner way of moving of the population. They are conditioned by rapid development of non agricultural- activities in urban areas and other working centers. Migrations of population from higher to lower height above the sea level appeared in post war period with strengthening non agricultural activities and with employment of a number of workmen from villages in non-agricultural jobs. Households of peasants' workmen move to places near the road in order to get to their jobs on time. Return migrations appear in this period as well as in the previous periods and they follow some emigrations. Post war economic development in this area and some changes in economic structure conditioned some changes in periodical migrations .Some aspects of periodical migrations of population disappeared the work of hired coachmen and workmen, some just started to disappear seasonal moving of cattle raisers, only 186 inhabitants took part in 1984, some of them arc smaller in size seasonal moving of people from mountains to lower height above the sea level because of tilling the soil, some of them became bigger in size and more intensive migrations connected with fairs in Raška in which between 15.000 and 23.000 take part., and some new aspects of periodical migrations also appeared, such as going to seasonal work and going to temporary work abroad. Daily migrations arc the important aspect of migrations of the population. A small number of daily migrants' workers come from adjoining communities Leposavić, Novi Pazar and Kraljevo. Characteristics of natural moving of population are these: Until 1954 this area was mainly agrarian and there was a rather high birth rate. After 1954 in the area of Raška’s community with the rapid development of non agricultural activities with more people employed outside their households, the need for high birth rate did not exist anymore. In the period between 1961 and 1981 birth rate was lowered from 17,3%» to 13,6%« and mortality rate was higher, from 7,5%o to 8,1%«. and conditioned lowering birth rate in the total migration of the population is characterized by slow population to 29475 (1489% ). Number of habitants was enlarged from 25.837 the origin and population of the community of Raška were influenced by migration currents, l hc origins of most households are from: Montenegro 47,7% (the most people are from families Kuči and Vasojevići) osovo and Metohija 14,59% (most of the families arc from the adjoining community of Leposavid and from Metohija. Novi Pazar (from the area around the town) 7,62%. From the area of Bosnia and Hercegovina, 5,17% (most of the people are from Hercegovina). Population structure after the Second World War has been changing permanently Sex structure was disturbed during the Second World War The process of aging of population became rather indicative According to the aging index from 1981. the young population lived in the towns' communities whereas the old population lived in other communities including the community of Raška In the period between 1953. and 1981, the number of active persons in the area of Raška s community was lowered from 53,42% to 44,51%. and the number of supported persons was enlarged from 45,73% to 47,79% and the number of people who are employed was changed from 0,85% to 7,70% Some measures were taken in order to eliminate illiteracy and to improve education of the population , and the result was satisfactory Between 1961 and 1981, the percentage of illiterate inhabitants was lowered from 34,38% to 18%. The number of inhabitants who finished primary school was enlarged from 3,49 to 15,57, with secondary school from 2.73% to 20,47%. The number of those who had higher education was changed from 0,29% to 1,93%, and the number of faculty educated people was changed from 0,27% to 1,60%. It can be said that the population of this area is nationally homogeneous. Most of the inhabitants arc Serbs, 97,65%. Some significant urban geographical changes in a number of settlements in this area have occurred under the influence of rapid development of non agricultural activities. New settlements of Kopaonik and Brvenik Naselje were formed Two villages, Baljevac and Jošanicka Banja, were transformed into town settlements, and fourteen villages into settlements of a mixed type Urban parts of the settlement were built in the suburban settlements of Raška, Supnje and Varevo ’A weekend settlement Sastavci was built in Lisinc on the mountain Kopaonik. Buildings for miners were built in two villages. "Bela Siena” mine had its building colony in the village Pobrdja, and the 'Korlace mine had its building colony in Korlacc near the mine itself This colony was displaced between 1967 and 1973 because of the pollution Beside roads and railroads, some new parts were built in a number of villages Some parts of Bela Stena and Pobrdje were linked with Baljevac and some parts of Varevo were linked with Raška because the villages were moved near the road. Further development of the population and settlements in the area of Raška s community will be the cause and effect of further economic development of the community and the republic of Serbia. This community, as the area struck by earthquake, had priority until 1990 in the policy of encouraging faster development of economically insufficiently developed communities of the republic of Serbia. According to the long-term social plan between 1980 and 2000. it is expected that the community of Raška will leave the circle of insufficiently developed communities and be able to use its own powers until 2000.

SKOPJE – AN ARCHITECTURAL GUIDE

Author(s): Divna Pencic,Ines Tolić,Biljana Stefanovska,Sonja Damchevska / Language(s): English,Macedonian

WHY AN ARCHITECTURAL GUIDE? The Republic of Macedonia, having as its priority the integration of the country in the European processes (both by becoming a full member of the European Union, and also by increasing awareness about the diverse cultural heritage that we have on our soil), has started creating a great variety of promotional materials. Looking through the wide range of offers for tourist tours, assorted guides, maps, promotional materials and internet sites made us think and ask ourselves what else we could do to enrich the cultural map of Europe.Somehow instinctively, and perhaps because of the professional occupation of most of the team members (architects and historians of architecture), our conceptions were focused on the potential of our architecture as an important point of reference when defining the contribution of Macedonia to the cultural or, if you prefer, to the tourist and cultural map of Europe. During the course of the project “Towards new strategies for communicating Macedonian cultural capitol abroad”, we were proved right.Macedonia is a country with a great cultural and architectural heritage, dating from ancient times, through the middle ages and up to the present, and also from the period that bears the title of modern. Maybe such classification of the periods does not correspond, in terms of a timeline, with the European classification of historical and cultural periods, but, in our belief, this is what gives our architectural heritage a marked uniqueness and value. Macedonia, being throughout the history always at the crossroads of eastern and western cultural influences, has created and interpreted architecture and cities in its specific way. And this is something that should be offered and communicated clearly: those differences, similarities, interpretations. On the other hand, what makes it even more interesting is the great variety and depth of richness in such a small territory. This is definitely a quality that deserves recognition. In this small territory there are trails of intersections over a vast range of time, with so many valuable buildings and settlements which offer visitors the feeling of a time-machine that constantly increases the degree of excitement.An overview of the numerous travel-guide promotional materials unwittingly leaves the impression that out of the desire to put everything in, sometimes in the same place and even on the same page, one can read about a valuable monument of architecture, a place that offers the possibility to taste some really good kebabs and tips where to buy a coloured carpet. This in it self is nothing really bad, but still, there is one question that comes to mind: what type of tourist is the audience? As the representative of the City of Skopje, Mr. Igor Simjanoski standing of the significance of cities and their buildings, are particularly interested in specialised guides to the architecture of the city in addition to the more general tourist guides. If you have ever been to Vienna, Barcelona, Chicago … you must have heard about their famous architectural guides which make the exquisite heritage of these cities even more visible. Providing the opportunity to choose will attract different kind of tourists: not those who will go to see something they have heard should be seen, but those who know what they want to see and will look for it where they know they can find it. Based on what is stated above, we truly believe that, for enriching the European cultural, and tourist map, the publication of this specialised guide to the architecture of Skopje (and we hope in near future, publication of similar architectural guides of Veles, Bitola, Kruševo, Ohrid, Strumica, and why not of Probištip and Makedonska Kamenica - as new industrial towns) is more than a valuable contribution. Skopje was chosen only as an example and at the moment as a city with the most available data relevant for such a type of guide. However, what we believe should be our next priority is to seriously consider the importance of different “reading” and start to work on the valorisation of our architectural heritage over the whole territory of our country. Macedonia is blessed not only by diverse architectural heritage, but also by very distinctive urban heritage. Every settlement has some distinguishing marks and specific ways of development connected with its origins. This Guide should not be regarded as something final and closed, but more as the beginning of a process that will continue and, in time, will become even more dynamic. It does not intend to be perfect - the aim of this Guide is to initiate and stimulate the creation of new, better and more comprehensive architectural guides. This first edition of the Guide presents only a small part of the materials that we collected, and which await to be classified and valorised. But this we will leave to the experts who work on the subject. As freelancers in the civic sector we will continue with our efforts to open new questions and to stimulate debates which will contribute towards communicating and promoting our architectural heritage at home and abroad.

POLSKIE POGRANICZA W PROCESIE PRZEMIAN. tom V

Author(s): Zbigniew Kurcz / Language(s): Polish

W ideologicznych założeniach polskie pogranicza powinny przekształcać się w transgranicza. Jednak obrazy rzeczywistości, przedstawiane także w tym tomie, zakłócają sielankowe wizje formułowane na gruncie europeizmu. Szereg wydarzeń, poczynając od 1997 r., kiedy to Polska w ramach procesów przystosowawczych przed włączeniem do Unii Europejskiej zaczęła osłabiać relacje ze wschodnimi sąsiadami, stawia pod znakiem zapytania, to znów wspiera euromyślenie o pograniczach. Należy też pamiętać, że na procesy społeczno-gospodarcze na pograniczach istotny wpływ miało pełne włączenie Polski do strefy Schengen w 2007 r., a później uruchamianie i zawieszanie umów o małym ruchu granicznym z ograniczaniem versus poszerzaniem grupy beneficjentów. Z WprowadzeniaZbigniew KurczProblematyka tomu koncentruje się m.in. wokół następujących zagadnień: • Co wniosły badania i refleksje z ostatnich lat do wiedzy o transgraniczach, efekcie pogranicza, człowieku pogranicza?• Jak postrzegać pogranicza: kiedy jako modelowe transgranicza, a kiedy jako obszary rywalizacji o państwowo-narodowych barwach?• Jaki jest zakres i jakie konsekwencje kontaktu kultur na pograniczach?• Jak wzmocnić szeroko rozumiane bezpieczeństwo na pograniczach – fizyczne, społeczne i ekonomiczne?• Jakie nowe procesy i zjawiska dały o sobie znać w ostatnim okresie na polskich pograniczach?W tomie publikują: Dawid Błaszczak, Leszek Buller, Marcin Dębicki, Leszek Gołdyka, Zbigniew Kurcz, Bogusław Kuźniar, Irena Machaj, Elżbieta Opiłowska, Wiesław Tadeusz Popławski, Wiesław Romanowicz, Andrzej Sakson, Dorota Szaban, Irena Szlachcicowa, Beata Trzop.

Demonstrace v Československu v srpnu 1969 a jejich potlačení

Author(s): Jan Kalous,Jan Břečka,Milan Bárta / Language(s): Czech

Rok po invazi vojsk pěti států Varšavské smlouvy do Československa proběhly v ulicích mnoha velkých měst rozsáhlé demonstrace, do kterých se zapojili především mladí lidé. Vyjadřování nesouhlasu s přítomností sovětské armády na našem území se mísilo s projevy nespokojenosti s nastoupenou cestou nového vedení komunistické strany. To pouliční protesty očekávalo a nejspíše i přivítalo, podle něj totiž dokazovaly, že tzv. protisocialistické síly existují. Legitimizovaly tak jeho politiku a daly mu do ruky pádné argumenty k postupu proti zbytku reformistů v čele s Alexandrem Dubečkem. Brutální potlačení nepokojů jednotkami tehdejší bezpečnosti, armády a Lidových milicí, které si vyžádalo oběti na životech, posloužilo rovněž jako varování do budoucna a současně jako důkaz předložený sovětskému vedení, že v osobě Gustáva Husáka byl postaven do čela Československa správný člověk. Naopak pro veřejnost symbolizoval srpen 1969 definitivní konec Pražského jara. Předkládaná publikace se na základě rozsáhlého archivního výzkumu snaží přiblížit události srpna 1969 a zasadit je do kontextu tehdejšího dění.

ROHINGYA

Author(s): Michał Lubina / Language(s): Polish

Otrzymaliśmy bardzo potrzebną monografię o Rohingya – jednej z najbardziej prześladowanych i umęczonych społeczności na świecie, milionie ludzi bez domów i ziemi, których żaden kraj nie chce przyjąć. Jest to równocześnie uniwersalna opowieść o dwóch „izmach” – kolonializmie i nacjonalizmie – które doprowadziły do obecnej tragedii. Powstawanie granic i narodziny narodów są niezwykle fascynujące, ale bywają też bolesne, pełne nienawiści i przemocy. I świadomość tego jest nam dziś bardzo potrzebna. Nie tylko w Azji.Agnieszka Lichnerowicz Kim są Rohingya? Na to wydawałoby się banalne pytanie nie ma prostej odpowiedzi. W tle jest tragedia miliona ludzi, o których przeszłości świat prawie nic nie wie. Ba, których nazwy nie jesteśmy w stanie dobrze wymówić. O fenomenie „narodu wygnanego” Rohingya pisze w prezentowanej monografii naukowej Michał Lubina, a jest to pierwsze tego typu przedsięwzięcie wydawnicze w Polsce. Autor jak mało kto w Polsce zna Birmę i to od podszewki. Naukowy styl potrafi okrasić anegdotą. Nie boi się stawiać odważnych tez niejako „pod włos” utartym interpretacjom. Otrzymana książka to lektura obowiązkowa dla tych wszystkich, którzy chcą wyjść poza nagłówki gazet i zrozumieć mechanizm jednego z większych exodusów współczesnego świata.Jacek Pawlicki, „Newsweek Polska”W 2017 roku armia birmańska doprowadziła do ucieczki z Birmy ponad 700 tys. muzułmanów Rohingya. W jednej z największych katastrof humanitarnych ostatnich lat doszło do czystki etnicznej, zbrodni przeciw ludzkości, a może nawet do ludobójstwa. Kim są Rohingya, dlaczego wzbudzają taką nienawiść i czemu stali się kolektywnym kozłem ofiarnym? W prezentowanej książce znajdziemy odpowiedzi – pozornie proste, a w istocie niesamowicie złożone – na te i wiele innych zasadniczych pytań związanych z Rohingya. Członkowie tej społeczności są muzułmanami i są prześladowani – to właściwie jedyne dwa fakty niepodlegające dyskusji. Reszta jest przedmiotem zażartych sporów, a ich wynik decyduje o losie ponadmilionowej wspólnoty. Książkę wzbogacają poruszające zdjęcia autorstwa Marcina Zaborowskiego. Ukazują one ludzki wymiar tragedii Rohingya i są ważnym świadectwem dopełniającym chłodną analizę naukową przedstawioną w wywodzie pracy. Dr Michał Lubina – adiunkt w Instytucie Bliskiego i Dalekiego Wschodu na Wydziale Studiów Międzynarodowych i Politycznych Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. Autor kilku książek dotyczących Birmy, w tym m.in. Birma (Warszawa 2014), Pani Birmy Aung San Suu Kyi. Biografia polityczna (Warszawa 2015), a także The Moral Democracy. The Political Thought of Aung San Suu Kyi (Warszawa 2019).Patronat medialny: Radio TOK FM
