        I'm representing modern Israeli Russian-speaking writer Jonathan Vidgop. This author's first book was granted fund of Israeli president and received recognition in Israel in 1999. The author writes rarely. There are two very different books offered. One, a result of 20 years of collecting historical material, is a collection of more than 100 very funny short stories of sexuality and attitude to Jews of famous personalities of different countries and times. The other book, very recent, is a a grotesque phantasmagoria, novel "Testimony", whose style, if any, can be compared to Susskind's Perfume. See description of the books below.

        A grand strategy of peace

        Britain and the creation of the United Nations Organization, 1939-1945

        by Andrew Ehrhardt

        A grand strategy of peace is the first detailed account of Britain's role in the creation of the United Nations Organization during the Second World War. As a work of traditional diplomatic history that brings in elements of intellectual history, the book describes how British officials, diplomats, politicians, and writers - previously seen to be secondary actors to the United States in this period - thought about, planned for, and helped to establish a future international order. While in the present day, many scholars and analysts have returned to the origins of the post- 1945 international system, this book offers an exhaustive account of how the statesmen and more importantly, the officials working below the statesmen, actually conceived of and worked to establish a post-war world order.

        Texte zur aktuellen Handlungstheorie

        by Christoph Horn, Guido Löhrer

        Sind Handlungen und Handlungserklärungen naturalisierbar? Wie verhalten sich alltagspsychologische und naturwissenschaftliche Erklärungen zueinander? Lassen sich Ausdrücke wie »Zielgerichtetheit«, »Angemessenheit« etc. kausal interpretieren? Gegen den philosophischen Mainstream, der alltagspsychologische Handlungserklärungen als Spielart kausaler Erklärungen betrachtet, hat sich in den letzten Jahren eine Opposition formiert, die Handlungserklärungen für irreduzibel teleologisch hält: Die Erklärung einer Handlung sollte das Ziel betrachten, auf das sich das Verhalten eines rationalen Akteurs richtet, und nicht dessen kausale Vorgeschichte. Der Band versammelt – größtenteils erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – die wichtigsten Beiträge zur neueren analytischen Handlungstheorie, u. a. von Donald Davidson, Harry Frankfurt, Ruth Millikan und Michael Thompson, und bietet einen Überblick über die aktuelle Gründe-Zwecke-Debatte.

        Die Wiederentdeckung des Psychedelischen

        by Paul-Philipp Hanske, Benedikt Sarreiter

        Ende der siebziger Jahre zeigte sich Albert Hofmann schwer enttäuscht vom Schicksal der von ihm entdeckten »Wunderdroge«: LSD – mein Sorgenkind lautete der Titel des damals erschienenen Erinnerungsbuchs. Hatte man die Substanz noch in den sechziger Jahren als Königsweg zur Erkundung der Psyche gefeiert, folgte bald der Rückschlag: Halluzinogene wurden flächendeckend verboten, ein Effekt des »War on Drugs«. Heute scheint das Tabu zu bröckeln: Weltweit wird über die Legalisierung von Marihuana diskutiert; junge Menschen pilgern an den Amazonas, um sich mit Ayahuasca auf Jenseitsreise zu begeben; Mediziner erforschen das therapeutische Potenzial von MDMA oder der Pilzdroge Psilocybin; selbst im Mainstream-Kino wird an den Pforten der Wahrnehmung gerüttelt. Die Autoren beleuchten die Renaissance des Psychedelischen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven, sprechen mit Hirnforschern, Usern und Juristen. Sie befassen sich mit dem Menschheitsthema Rausch und erklären, warum ihm kein Verbot einen Riegel vorschieben wird.

        Bordering social reproduction

        Migrant mothers and children making lives in the shadows

        by Rachel Rosen, Eve Dickson

        Bordering social reproduction explores what happens when migrants subject to policies that seek to deny them the means of life nonetheless endeavour to make and sustain meaningful lives. Developing innovative theorisations of welfare bordering, the volume provides rich ethnographic insights into the everyday lives of destitute mothers and children who are denied mainstream welfare support in the United Kingdom due to their immigration status. This book shows how enforced destitution and debt work alongside detention and deportation as part of a tripartite of exclusionary technologies of the racial state. It advances the novel concept of weathering to comprehend mother's and children's life-making practices under duress - arguing that these are neither acts of heroic resilience nor solely symptomatic of lives rendered disposable, but indications of the fragilities of repressive migration regimes and, on occasion, refusals to accept their terms of existence.

        Entweder ich habe die Fahrt am Mississippi nur geträumt, oder ich träume jetzt

        by Oswald Egger

        Fließt – alles? Wie ein fortschreitend oskulierendes Wogengewölle in Form von Worten und Formen ohne Worte, Strudelungen, Zerstreuungen und Häufungen selbstüberwälzter Vorwärtswellen von Reverien, die über die Ufer der inneren Landschaft vorüberschwimmen. Als ob Beziehungslinien im »Bewusstseinsstrom«, die einander berühren und liieren, sich schneiden, überlagern und wiederhin verlieren – wie die Linien einer Hand. Ganz unscheinbare Verursachungen, die jeweils zu Wirk- und Fließlinien führen, setzten sich fort im grellen, kruden Wechsel der Wortbewegungsbilder selbst, der Gedankenhäufung, der Winke und Unstetigkeiten abrupt wechselnder Aspekte. In seinem neuen, mit zahlreichen Zeichnungen und Malereien aufwändig gestalteten Buch folgt Oswald Egger der Erinnerung an die selber unerinnerte Erfahrung österreichischer Auswanderer nach Amerika in den Jahren 1880 bis 1919, folgt den geflüsterten und inwendigen Stimmenverbindungen, den Wirbelfäden des Erzählten durch Bergwerke und Wälder bis zum großen Gewässer: Wenn im Fließgefüge von Eindrücken und Empfindungen die Sätze, Wörter und Sachen als eine Menge kleiner Inseln erscheinen, wird der Mississippi zum Mainstream der verschwiegenen Geschichte der Ideen, die zwischen den Welten im Fluss sind.

        A history of humanitarianism, 1755–1989

        In the name of others

        by Silvia Salvatici

        The book traces the history of international humanitarianism from the anti-slavery movement to the end of the cold war. It is based on an extensive survey of the international literature and is retold in an original narrative that relies on a close examination of the sources. The reconstruction of humanitarianism's long history unfolds around some crucial moments and events: the colonial expansion of European countries, the two world wars and their aftermaths, the emergence of a new postcolonial order. In terms of its contents, narrative style, interpretative approach the book is aimed at a large and diverse public including: scholars who are studying and teaching humanitarianism; students who need to learn about humanitarianism as part of their training or research; operators and volunteers who are engaged in the field; non-specialist readers who are interested in the topic because of its relevance to current events.

        US diplomacy and the Good Friday Agreement in post-conflict Northern Ireland

        by Richard Hargy

        Richard Haass and Mitchell Reiss, as autonomous diplomats in the George W. Bush State Department, were able to alter US intervention in Northern Ireland and play critical roles in the post-1998 peace process. Their contributions have not been fully appreciated or understood. The restoration of Northern Ireland's power-sharing government in 2007 was made possible by State Department-led intervention in the peace process. There are few references to Northern Ireland in work examining the foreign policy legacy of the George W. Bush presidency. Moreover, the ability to control US foreign policy towards the region brought one of George W. Bush's Northern Ireland special envoys into direct diplomatic conflict with the most senior actors inside the British government. This book will uncover the extent of this fall-out and provide original accounts on how diplomatic relations between these old allies became so fraught.

        Arctic state identity

        Geography, history, and geopolitical relations

        by Ingrid A. Medby

        This book sets out to answer what it means to hold a formal title as one of the eight 'Arctic states'; is there such a thing as an Arctic state identity, and if so, what does this mean for state personnel? It charts the thoughtful reflections and stories of state personnel from three Arctic states: Norway, Iceland, and Canada, alongside analysis of documents and discourses. This book shows how state identities are narrated as both geographical and temporal - understood through environments, territories, pasts and futures - and that any identity is always relational and contextual. As such, demonstrating that to understand Arctic geopolitics we need to pay attention to the people whose job it is to represent the state on a daily basis. And more broadly, it offers a 'peopled' view of geopolitics, introducing the concept and framework of 'state identity'.

        Britain in China

        by Robert Bickers

        This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China", challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand imperial design, but with their own communities and precarious livelihoods. This brought them into conflict not only with the Chinese population, but with the British imperial government. The book also analyzes the formation and maintenance of settler identities, and then investigates how the British state and its allies brought an end to the reign of freelance, settler imperialism on the China coast. At the same time, other British sectors, missionary and business, renegotiated their own relationship with their Chinese markets and the Chinese state and distanced themselves from the settler British.

        Settlers at the end of empire

        Race and the politics of migration in South Africa, Rhodesia and the United Kingdom

        by Jean Smith

        Settlers at the end of empire traces the development of racialised migration regimes in South Africa, Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe) and the United Kingdom from the Second World War to the end of apartheid in 1994. While South Africa and Rhodesia, like other settler colonies, had a long history of restricting the entry of migrants of colour, in the 1960s under existential threat and after abandoning formal ties with the Commonwealth they began to actively recruit white migrants, the majority of whom were British. At the same time, with the 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act, the British government began to implement restrictions aimed at slowing the migration of British subjects of colour. In all three nations, these policies were aimed at the preservation of nations imagined as white, revealing the persistence of the racial ideologies of empire across the era of decolonisation.

        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.

        Beyond the antislavery haven

        Slavery in early Canadian print culture, 1789–1889

        by Ellie Bird

        This book challenges the idealised narrative of Canada as an antislavery haven for self-liberated people to explore Canada's complicated relationship with slavery. Examining advertisements, abolitionist texts and narratives about slavery in Canadian newspapers and the texts that were printed alongside them, it shows how Canadian readers and enslavers developed an image of themselves as belonging to an antislavery community even while recognising their own complicity in slavery. The book explores narratives that depict the lives of Black settlers in Canada and how slave narratives circulated in Canada. Canada's relationship with slavery is far more complicated than seeing it as either an antislavery haven or a slaveholding space. Canada was connected to Britain, France, the Caribbean and the United States and this was central to how Canadians and Canadian readers fashioned their self-image in relation to slavery.
