brossura L'11 luglio 1995 segna la data della più grave strage in Europa dopo la fine della Seconda guerra mondiale con il genocidio di 8372 vittime civili inermi. Ai tempi della guerra in Bosnia ed Erzegovina, Srebrenica, territorio a maggioranza musulmana, fu assediata per mesi dalle milizie serbe fino all'occupazione e al massacro pianificato e coordinato quale esito finale di una vera e propria "pulizia etnica". Hasan Hasanovic è sopravvissuto a quella strage in cui perse i suoi familiari più cari. Dopo dieci anni di silenzio, Hasan ha cercato la salvezza della propria mente nello studio ed è diventato il "narratore" della tragedia sua e del suo popolo. Con uno stile essenziale, dalle pagine di questo libro traspare tutta la drammaticità dei ricordi; i fatti che Hasan racconta, contemporanei alla vita di molti di noi, sono per le giovani generazioni un ulteriore monito a non dimenticare e ad avere il coraggio di spendersi per la salvaguardia dei diritti fondamentali del genere umano.

brossura Questo lavoro presenta uno sguardo particolare sulle circostanze che caratterizzarono il conflitto in Bosnia ed Erzegovina nel periodo 1992-1995. Partendo dal concetto di totalitarismo, l'autore ha inteso ricostruire quei rapporti tra cultura, religione, storia e politica che troppo spesso sono passati nel silenzio e che, tuttavia, sono fondamentali per chiunque voglia comprendere le condizioni che hanno determinato il tentativo di eliminare un'intera etnia da quella che, ancora oggi, la politica e i media vogliono condannata a un'impercettibile ambiguità ontologica: essere o non essere Europa. Attraversando la storia dei programmi per una Grande Serbia, il lettore dovrà confrontarsi con le verità sui genocidi e sugli stupri, ma soprattutto sulle responsabilità e sul debito morale che la comunità internazionale ha contratto con quello che William Miller ha definito come il curioso fenomeno di un'etnia slava per razza, maomettana per fede, che mai accettò il fondamentalismo ottomano.
"At the end of the twentieth century people spoke as if the Balkans had plagued Europe forever." "Mark Mazower dispels current Western cliches and replaces stereotypes with an account of how mountains, empires and religions have shaped their inhabitants' lives. As a bridge between Europe and Asia the Balkans has been exposed to a constant incursion of nomadic peoples across the centuries. Mountain ranges made farming hard and political control almost impossible and allowed small communities to live side by side through to the end of the twentieth century. Empires based on religion not ethnicity shaped customs and beliefs in ways that did not entirely vanish with the coming of modernity." A short but well researched introduction to the complex and always compelling history of the Balkans. 160p. bibliography. index Book

"Early in the spring of 1932, when I received a Guggenheim Fellowship requiring me to go to Europe for a year, I was thirty-three and had been in the United States for nineteen years. At fourteen--a son of peasants, with a touch of formal "city education"--I had emigrated to the United States from Carnoila, then a tiny Slovene province of Austria, now an even tinier part of a banovina in the new Yugoslav state."

270 pages. Through James Davis's eyes we see the real face of Canada's army: efficient, technologically advanced - sometimes brutal. The uncompromising opinions Davis has about the strengths and weaknesses of our present-day military are backed up by his own first-hand experience at "the sharp end" as a front-line soldier. Will interest not just military buffs but also those who want to understand the life-and-death pressures facing Canada's soldiers at home and abroad. "If Canadians really want to know what our soldiers faced in Bosnia, Rwanda and right here in Caada, Jim Davis delivers. Read him and think." - Desmond Morton.

br. Per non dimenticare. Ma allo stesso tempo per raccontare una storia di speranza. Gianbattista Rigoni Stern narra come si è coinvolto in prima persona nella transumanza della pace, un progetto di cooperazione internazionale, che ha fatto rinascere il piccolo allevamento domestico nelle campagne di Srebrenica, tristemente famosa per lo spaventoso massacro di civili inermi che ebbe luogo nel luglio 1995.
