Описание:
A ground-breaking volume that gathers the testimonies of NGO workers, street vendors, activists, scholars, health professionals, and creative writers to chronicle the devastating impact of COVID-19 on Romani communities globally.
The contributors reveal how the pandemic has exacerbated Romani disenfranchisement and document the resilience and creativity with which Romanies have responded to the crisis. Deploying innovative textual formats, and including poignant personal reflections, memoirs, scholarly analyses, and diary excerpts, the volume provides a roadmap for collaboration and dialogue at a time of global emergency.
This is the most significant chronicle of Romani stories about the COVID crisis ever assembled.
From the Introduction: The contributions include memoirs, opinion essays, transcriptions of conversations or interviews, ethnographic analyses, and a compelling short story by Romani writer Iveta Kokyov?, as well as pieces that stride the boundaries between one or more of these genres, or that fit into none.
Описание: During the Asia-Pacific War, the Japanese military forced hundreds of thousands of women across Asia into "comfort stations" where they were repeatedly raped and tortured. Japanese imperial forces claimed they recruited women to join these stations in order to prevent the mass rape of local women and the spread of venereal disease among soldiers. In reality, these women were kidnapped and coerced into sexual slavery. Comfort stations institutionalized rape, and these "comfort women" were subjected to atrocities that have only recently become the subject of international debate. Chinese Comfort Women: Testimonies from Japan's Imperial Sex Slaves features the personal narratives of twelve women forced into sexual slavery when the Japanese military occupied their hometowns. Beginning with their prewar lives and continuing through their enslavement to their postwar struggles for justice, these interviews reveal that the prolonged suffering of the comfort station survivors was not contained to wartime atrocities but was rather a lifelong condition resulting from various social, political, and cultural factors. In addition, their stories bring to light several previously hidden aspects of the comfort women system: the ransoms the occupation army forced the victims' families to pay, the various types of improvised comfort stations set up by small military units throughout the battle zones and occupied regions, and the sheer scope of the military sexual slavery-much larger than previously assumed. The personal narratives of these survivors combined with the testimonies of witnesses, investigative reports, and local histories also reveal a correlation between the proliferation of the comfort stations and the progression of Japan's military offensive. The first English-language account of its kind, Chinese Comfort Women exposes the full extent of the injustices suffered by and the conditions that caused them.

Описание:
The years between 1933 and 1945 found more than six million innocent Jews persecuted, tortured, and murdered by the wicked Nazis and their ruthless accomplices.
But tens of thousands of brave Jews miraculously escaped the Nazi inferno. The same unwavering faith and determination that kept them going through the darkest days was their guiding light to make a fresh new start after the war. Many of these survivors arrived in North America, where they settled down, found jobs, and raised beautiful families.
This booklet is not merely another Holocaust memoir. It's the undertaking of a descendant of two of those survivors. Eleven-year-old Arielle Pfefer, from Teaneck, New Jersey, took it upon herself to record for the sake of history the horrifying testimonies of her great-grandparents.
Arielle didn't stop there. She encouraged her peers to interview their own grandparents or great-grandparents and document their testimonies of suffering and survival. This project became a source of unique connection between these youngsters and the last survivors of the Holocaust.
May this work be a lasting proof of the Nazi atrocities and the resilience of the eternal Jewish spirit.

Описание:
Do you ever wonder if God is speaking to you? Often times we are so consumed with life happening, we are not aware of God's presence in our everyday lives. The constant barrage of social media, phones, texts, and emails make it difficult to hear Him. In her debut book, God is Speaking, Are You Listening? A Collection of Testimonies, Tressa shares how long before she had a relationship with God, He was speaking to her and divinely directing every step of her way. She candidly tells stories from her life depicting the many ways that God was speaking, and challenges readers to listen for Him. This book will encourage you to take a look at your own life from a fresh perspective and see that God is speaking all the time, and it is His heart's desire for you to hear His voice and take heed to what He is saying.
Tressa Fernandez faced death (not once, but twice) and was on her way to hell; but God had a different plan. He spared her life and gave her the opportunity to accept His saving grace. Now, as a woman of God, she is confident of who she is in Him: new, redeemed, loved, accepted and forgiven. She is a woman of faith, continually learning to trust God no matter the situation or circumstance. She can most often be found in her craft studio, where she spends time with God, writes, paints, crochets or just relaxes and reads while having tea. She lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with her husband of 24 years, Al Fernandez and has two adult sons, Jamar and D'lon.
Описание: NOBODY BUT GOD is a collection of testimonies by women who tell their stories of faith, hope and trust in God while living through the Coronavirus pandemic.

Be encouraged and inspired as you read how these witnesses were not defeated by their circumstances, but put their trust in the Living and True God who brought them through.
Drawing on the rich archives of the Court of Justice of Cochin, a main settlement of the Dutch East India Company, this book presents ten court cases that deal with themes of enslavement and 'enslavebility'. Offering detailed insights into interrogations and testimonies, they paint a unique picture of the complex historical realities in which processes of enslavement and relations of slavery were shaped.
Each original Dutch transcript is followed by an English translation, shedding light on the interactions between local systems of bondage and global systems of commodified slavery, and providing a new perspective on the global history of slavery.Analysing slavery in the Indian Ocean and South Asia, these case studies examine the dynamics of bondage, caste and social control, while offering a counterpoint to the traditional focus on Atlantic slavery.

Описание:
Ettore Majorana was born in the Sicilian city of Catania. He joined Enrico Fermi's "Via Panisperna boys" at an early age and was part of the team who first discovered the slow neutrons (the research that would lead to the nuclear reactor and eventually, the atomic bomb). Enrico Fermi considered him one of brightest scientists, comparable to Galileo and Newton.
On March 25, 1938, Ettore Majorana mysteriously disappeared at 31.
When the author moved to the University of Catania, Sicily, from Milan University back in 1968, he soon discovered important documents pertaining to Majorana's life and works. Together with his own investigative materials and full cooperation from Majorana's family members, he published a book on his disappearance in Italian (after having helped the famous Italian writer, Leonardo Sciascia, to write down his known Essay, by supplying him with copy of some of the discovered documents). Recami's book was entitled Il Caso Majorana -- Epistolario, Documenti, Testimonianze and when it first appeared in Italy, it drew interest from all the major newspapers, publications and TVs & broadcast media.
Even after his disappearance, Ettore Majorana's name appeared in many areas of frontier physics research, ranging from elementary particle physics to applied condensed matter, to mathematical physics, and more. His long lasting contributions is a testimony of his brilliance and farsightedness and has continued to draw interest from scientists not only in Italy, but from all over world until today.
An English version of the original is very appropriate at this juncture, when more and more scholars in the world are getting convinced that he was really a genius "like Galileo and Newton". This book traces the extraordinary life of Ettore Majorana -- through his letters, documents and testimonies from his friends and family members. What makes this book more fascinating (as a detective-story too) is his mysterious disappearance at young age. This book, therefore, is both a biography and a mystery book.
Описание: This book investigates the memory of the Holocaust in Sweden and concentrates on early initiatives to document and disseminate information about the genocide during the late 1940s until the early 1960s.
