Book excerpt: BASED UPON THE AUTHOR’S EXCLUSIVE MATERIAL, THIS INCREDIBLE STORY OF YUGOSLAVIA—THE COUNTRY OF THE CROATIANS, SERBIANS AND THE SLOVENIANS—AND HER HEROIC STRUGGLE HOLDS A SIGNIFICANT LESSON FOR THE DEMOCRACIES In a sequel to The Native’s Return and Two-Way Passage, Louis Adamic, writing with deeply felt conviction, tells the tragic story of Yugoslavia under Axis domination and of a struggle for power that will vitally affect the future of Europe and America. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of Yugoslavia and its people and on personal eyewitness reports which have been reaching him through secret channels, he paints the grim picture of life and death under Axis occupation and shows what it actually means in terms of people’s lives. These personal stories and portraits are unforgettable. They go behind the headlines to the experience that is the lot of people not in Yugoslavia but all of occupied Europe, to the unbelievable heroism that lifts the heart and steels it for the time ahead. He tells also the story of Yugoslav resistance, of two years of intensifying guerrilla warfare, of a struggle that has been confused, bitter, tragic.

Book excerpt: A work of immense cultural significance and beauty, this long poem became an anthem for the African diaspora and the birth of the Negritude movement. With unusual juxtapositions of object and metaphor, a bouquet of language-play, and deeply resonant rhythms, Césaire considered this work a "break into the forbidden," at once a cry of rebellion and a celebration of black identity. More praise: "The greatest living poet in the French language."--American Book Review "Martinique poet Aime Cesaire is one of the few pure surrealists alive today. By this I mean that his work has never compromised its wild universe of double meanings, stretched syntax, and unexpected imagery. This long poem was written at the end of World War II and became an anthem for many blacks around the world. Eshleman and Smith have revised their original 1983 translations and given it additional power by presenting Cesaire's unique voice as testament to a world reduced in size by catastrophic events." --Bloomsbury Review "Through his universal call for the respect of human dignity, consciousness and responsibility, he will remain a symbol of hope for all oppressed peoples." --Nicolas Sarkozy "Evocative and thoughtful, touching on human aspiration far beyond the scale of its specific concerns with Cesaire's native land - Martinique." --The Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether voluntary or coerced, hopeful or desperate, people moved in unprecedented numbers across Russia's vast territory during the twentieth century. Broad Is My Native Land is the first history of late imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet Russia through the lens of migration. Lewis H. Siegelbaum and Leslie Page Moch tell the stories of Russians on the move, capturing the rich variety of their experiences by distinguishing among categories of migrants—settlers, seasonal workers, migrants to the city, career and military migrants, evacuees and refugees, deportees, and itinerants. So vast and diverse was Russian political space that in their journeys, migrants often crossed multiple cultural, linguistic, and administrative borders. By comparing the institutions and experiences of migration across the century and placing Russia in an international context, Siegelbaum and Moch have made a magisterial contribution to both the history of Russia and the study of global migration.The authors draw on three kinds of sources: letters to authorities (typically appeals for assistance); the myriad forms employed in communication about the provision of transportation, food, accommodation, and employment for migrants; and interviews with and memoirs by people who moved or were moved, often under the most harrowing of circumstances. Taken together, these sources reveal the complex relationship between the regimes of state control that sought to regulate internal movement and the tactical repertoires employed by the migrants themselves in their often successful attempts to manipulate, resist, and survive these official directives.
