Neu Neuware, verlagsfrisch; new item Besorgungsartikel, mit längerer Auslieferungszeit. -Für linke Bewegungen in der ganzen Welt verkörpert Rojava die reale Möglichkeit einer besseren Gesellschaft: Im Juli 2012 begann dort die Revolution. In den drei kurdisch geprägten Kantonen Afrîn, Kobanê und Cizîrê wurde eine autonome Selbstverwaltung aufgebaut, die auf den Werten Basisdemokratie, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit und Ökologie beruht. Seit 2018 kontrolliert die »Autonome Verwaltung Nord- und Ostsyriens« etwa ein Drittel des syrischen Staatsgebiets. Unter ihrem Dach vereint sie unterschiedliche Ethnien, Religionen und Sprachen.Seit ihrer Gründung musste sich die Region gegen zahlreiche Bedrohungen verteidigen. Neben den militärischen, diplomatischen und wirtschaftlichen Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Assad-Regime sind es vor allem die existenzbedrohenden Kriege mit der Türkei und dem IS. Durch den syrischen Bürgerkrieg ist die Region zudem vom einem Embargo betroffen, was die Grundversorgung stark beeinträchtigt. Trotz all dieser Widrigkeiten hat sich die Gesellschaft weiterentwickelt und relativ stabile Strukturen aufgebaut.Ein Jahrzehnt nach Beginn der Revolution untersucht Christopher Wimmer aus kritisch-solidarischer Perspektive, wie es um Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der »revolutionären Gesellschaft« bestellt ist. Auf Grundlage von über fünfzig Interviews mit Menschen aus allen Teilen der Gesellschaft - aus Verwaltung, Bildungssystem, Militär, Medizin u.a. - lässt er in einer Mischung aus Reportage und Analyse ein vielstimmiges Bild des Alltagslebens, der Hoffnungen und Probleme der Menschen vor Ort entstehen. 272 pp. Deutsch

It would be impossible to say anything substantial about Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, or, for that matter, of Benedictine monasticism in North America, without some mention of Archabbot Boniface Wimmer. Extensive books and intensive articles over recent years have provided a wealth of information, commentary, and perspective on the essential role of this nineteenth century monastic missionary and founder in the unfolding of American Benedictine history. In one way or another, these studies have also drawn on the first biographical sketch of Boniface Wimmer, published just a few years after his death. But the original modestly sized sketch itself has become increasingly inaccessible or, at least, neglected, due to the fact that it was originally published by Benzinger Brothers of New York, Cincinnati and Chicago in 1891 and in the German language. The present volume therefore has no more ambitious purpose than to provide an English translation of this first biographical portrait of this key figure in American Benedictine history.

What is the nature of fate? Is young Merlin destined to be a powerful wizard, or does he have a choice? These are the questions Merlin must answer as he travels with the deer woman Hallia to the Haunted Marsh where the marsh ghouls have begun a campaign of destruction. Or are the ghouls being manipulated by an even greater source of evil? An evil that seeks to destroy not the marsh, but Merlin himself? Here, in the fourth installment of the Lost Years of Merlin, epic master storyteller T. A. Barron weaves a tale of humor, adventure, and surprise as Merlin unravels the mystery of the Haunted Marsh, meets a boy named Arthur, and travels through a mirror of mist that brings him face to face with his destiny.

[*Translation into English by Natasha Wimmer] [Read by John Lee, Armando Duran, G. Valmont Thomas, Scott Brick, Grover Gardner] Composed in the last years of Roberto Bolano's life, 2666 was greeted across Europe and Latin America as his most brilliant achievement, surpassing even his previous work in its strange beauty, daring experimentation, and epic scope. The book's subject matter ranges from the heady heights of literature and love to the gritty realism of violence and death as it explores how humans make sense of senseless events. Its throng of unforgettable characters includes academics and convicts, writers and cops, pursuing their own separate yet interrelated quests for meaning: an enigmatic Prussian novelist who disappears from the public eye after the death of his lover; a group of literary critics who bond through their shared love of the novelist's works; an African American journalist sent to Mexico on a sports beat in the wake of his mother's death; and a Spanish professor and widowed father whose mind is beginning to lose its grip on reality. Their lives intersect in the urban sprawl of Santa Teresa, a fictional Juarez on the US-Mexico border, where the serial killings of hundreds of young working class women remain unsolved.

Why does ethnicity matter in certain societies and contexts but not in others? Drawing on the boundary-making perspective first championed by anthropologist Fredrick Barth, Andreas Wimmer introduces a comparative analytic of ethnic group formation. He analyzes how and why ethnic boundaries are sometimes associated with inequality and exclusion, with political salience and public debate, with enduring loyalty and thick identities, while in other cases ethnicity and race do not structure the allocation of resources, invite little political passion, and represent only secondary aspects of individual identity. Wimmer argues that three key mechanisms influence the dynamics and consequences of ethnic boundary-making: institutional incentives , the distribution of power between individuals, and the reach of pre-existing social networks.Cautioning against seeing ethnicity wherever one looks, Wimmer argues for disentangling ethnic and non-ethnic group formation processes and proposes a set of research designs, analytical principles, and strategies of interpretation appropriate for the task. Several qualitative and quantitative studies then apply this agenda : on how local residents in immigrant neighborhoods draw symbolic boundaries against each other, on the ethnic and racial composition of friendship networks, and how ethnic closure influences cultural values. By overcoming essentialist approaches to ethnicity while avoiding the pitfalls of excessive constructivism, Ethnic Boundary Making offers a new perspective on a topic of vital interest to sociologists, anthropologists, and ethnic studies scholars.

Why did the nation-state emerge and proliferate across the globe? How is this process related to the wars fought in the modern era? Analyzing datasets that cover the entire world over long stretches of time, Andreas Wimmer focuses on changing configurations of power and legitimacy to answer these questions. The nationalist ideal of self-rule gradually diffused over the world and delegitimized empire after empire. Nationalists created nation-states wherever the power configuration favored them, often at the end of prolonged wars of secession. The elites of many of these new states were institutionally too weak for nation-building and favored their own ethnic communities. Ethnic rebels challenged such exclusionary power structures in violation of the principles of self-rule, and neighboring governments sometimes intervened into these struggles over the state. 'Waves of War' demonstrates why nation-state formation and ethnic politics are crucial to understand the civil and international wars of the past 200 years.

The book by Martina Haja and Guenther Wimmer comes to fill a vacuum and, for the first time, offers an overall view of the complex, many-sided world of nineteenth-century German and Austrian Orientalist painting. This book, bearing on over 70 German, Austro-Hungarian and Swiss traveller-painters, gives us an idea of the richness, the singularities and the multiple contradictions of the Orientalist painting of German-speaking countries.
