Bridging the Baltic Sea

Bridging the Baltic Sea

Tracing the origins, evolution, and goals of Polish and Estonian émigré politics in Cold War Sweden and its linkages with both the host and homeland societies, this book investigates the transnational dimension of resistance and opposition to the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe. The analysis of the constantly shifting, at times conspiratorial, and even subversive networks that transcended the Iron Curtain draws a line from World War II to the collapse of the Soviet Union, framing half a century of transnationally concerted political activism in a geographical context that has not received much scholarly attention. Challenging the image of the Baltic Sea Region as a periphery of the European Cold War theater, the topography of the multilayered and complex linkages between neutral Sweden and her opposite coasts suggests that the small inland sea was a particularly vibrant setting for processes that efficiently defied the rigid border regimes of the Cold War era. This book relates both to ongoing historiographical debates about the scope and extent of East-West contacts that developed underneath the radar of international diplomacy and to the question of the role, significance, and impact of émigré politics during the Cold War. Embedding the dynamics of transnationally framed opposition in the wider context of political, economic, and cultural relations at the northeastern peripheries of divided Europe, the study not only sheds new light on so far still unexplored facets of interaction and cooperation between societies in East and West, but also offers a first comprehensive synthesis of the Baltic Sea Region’s post-war history.

A partir de un sue o er tico de Luz, la principal protagonista, a un ritmo trepidante, se desarrolla la cruda y violenta historia de unos personajes despiadados y rebeldes, a los que la vida no concedi la m s insignificante oportunidad, no ya para ser m nima o parcialmente buenos, sino para no tener, debido a c mo son tratados en su entorno m s pr ximo, ni un atisbo de piedad hacia los dem s. Salir del pozo donde todos ir n cayendo, de la espiral de violencia que generan a su alrededor, es poco menos que imposible. Ellos, con su comportamiento, al tiempo que destruyen a otros por maldad, venganza y placer, ir n cavando sus propias tumbas, sin importarles ir dej ndose no ya la vida, sino el alma en el camino. De tenerla, el alma de estos j venes est muy da ada. Se ha vuelto oscura e insensible; tanto como sus acciones. No, a ellos nadie les tender una mano, as como nadie, aun careciendo de moral, les disculpar ni comprender del todo, por su conducta excesiva y por sus cr menes. Estamos ante una novela urbana, desgarrada y violenta, que nos cuenta sin tapujos, sin guardarse nada, con absoluta y descarnada realidad, las vidas de unos muchachos que practican la crueldad sin medida, la ferocidad m s desatada, sin experimentar remordimientos. Una novela dur sima, de lenguaje directo, mordaz y efectivo. El atroz comportamiento que mueve a cada uno de estos j venes tiene sin embargo un porqu ... De ah la maestr a del narrador, Lars W. Jacobson, capaz de hacernos sentir ira, al mismo tiempo que piedad hacia esas criaturas desestructuradas, maltratadas por sus propias familias, gobernadas, desde que nacen, por muy malos vientos.Es h bil este autor al describir el perfil de sus personajes, as como en el manejo de los tiempos; maestro en generar sorpresas y suspense, al desvelar, en el momento oportuno, lazos comunes, que de un modo u otro, como la tela de ara a, muy a su pesar, los unen y atrapan a todos... Estamos por lo tanto ante una novela que, desde las primeras p ginas, engancha al lector. Envolvi ndolo en la trama, no le permite abandonarla ni un instante, hasta llegar al final del libro. Luz, r quiem por un skinhead, es una novela de escritura gil, casi cinematogr fica, en la que asistimos a escenas y situaciones que parecen estar sucediendo ante nuestros ojos, haci ndonos percibir en cada p gina, la angustia, el miedo, tanto de los verdugos como de las propias v ctimas.
A Short Safari adventure among Africa's thorny Bushveld wildlife: VOL 2: Hunting, Ecosystem Challenges and Wildlife Restorancy
A short safari adventure among Africa's thorny Bushveld wildlife: Part Two - Hunting, Ecosystem Challenges, Wildlife Restorancy." This is the second book in the series of true African travel and adventure safari that passionately deals with sensitive environmental, past political and wildlife management issues that face Africa today. "This book is not just another hunting story. It is the story of discovery, of brutally harsh realities - in short, an epic tale of Africa," summarized Don Heath, former Chief Ecologist for the Zimbabwe Parks Department, "you have the rediscovery of Africa by an ex African and a native American as they make their way through the thorny issues if not downright slippery shibboleths of consumptive conservation - 'wise use' was the Zimbabwean term I coined for the CITES COP 10 to argue for conservation through hunting." The format for the first part of this second book in the series relates Bruce's impressions of the day's hunt and thoughts in Bubye Conservancy and then around a campfire and dinner Bruce, PH Brent Hein, and Lars discuss their Perceptions of the Day, world events, mankind's struggles, Paleolithic behavior, diets, climate, environment, sports, conservation, hunting, reflections of hunting in modern society, rifles, and Africa. Based on their experience and reading, this would be like Teddy Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway, Harry Selby, Al Gore, Jarred Diamond, Michael DeBakey and Jane Goodall gathering around an African campfire to discuss matters of interest to them. The authors tell of the random thrilling and dangerous events that occur to them when confronted by charging rhino, wild bush-pigs, elephants, giraffe and buffalo daka Tsotsie (gangsters) in the hot midday sun. Lars delves into the ecosystem challenges, the threat of diminishing wildlife populations in many game reserves and conservation areas, and the mounting problem of over population of elephants in Southern African countries leading to the devastation of habitats. Can ecotourism alone save Africa's wildlife or is hunting part of the financial equation or as Henry Thoreau said, is it true "The hunter is the greatest friend of the animals"? Do we need the biodiversity of distant Africa for Mankind's survival? Is a dead mamba the only good mamba or is there more to snakes? Who were the strong wild bulls of Bashan (aurochs or Pelorovis antiquus or Caper buffalo), and the giant race of Rephaim and Nephilim? Game managers have limited tools to manage wildlife populations, namely: fire, water, fencing, and culling or "off take", like selling of animals. Recent auctions have brought in over $2.3 million for a buffalo, and $0.5 million dollars for a rhino but the prices for the latter are paradoxically falling because of poaching and the cost of protection. The Kruger Park challenges and management is used to illustrate these aspects but also raises the problem of financing large wild life areas and how pressure from surrounding poverty stricken communities needs to be addressed and encompassed in any solution. The issues of harvesting wildlife for meat for local community populations, restaurants and the biltong trade, subsistence hunting, and trophies for tourist recreational hunters, and the ethics, are reviewed. Wild life restorancy is discussed in the broader context of Africa's rising, politics, potential agricultural resources, and future overpopulation food requirements, especially since growth will occur in Africa. Their hope is that African advancing higher education, the growth of the new middle class, African "ubuntu", and strong moral fiber based on religious beliefs will overcome the challenges of corruption and mismanagement. Ultimately, the question is whether one has the faith in Mankind to do the right thing and whether we will be able to resolve the issues? Bruce adds an Epilogue on the stunning turn of events after their return.

Road to Kashgar: Notes from a walk through China

Road to Kashgar: Notes from a walk through China

Lars Ellstrom

This is the story of a unique venture. Between March 2009 and November 2011 Swedish China veteran Lars Ellstr m walked from Beijing to Kashgar in Central Asia. He covered more than 5 000 kilometres through poor villages and newly built boomtowns. From the account of his trek we get to know the changing landscapes and listen to the people he met: farmers, shepherds, entrepreneurs, drivers, Christians, Muslims, school children, teachers and descendants of Genghis Khan. Thanks to his fluency in Chinese and deep knowledge of China's history and society, Ellstr m has been able to put these perspectives in wider and often provocative perspectives. He also presents the reader with fascinating examples of Swedish adventurers in China many years ago. They include the explorer Sven Hedin, the missionary and rancher Frans August Larson, who became a trusted go-between in negotiations between the Chinese and Mongol heads of state, earning him the title of 'Duke of Mongolia', and Lovisa Engvall, a missionary, who learned the Uighur language and lived in Xinjiang for most of her grown-up life. The image of China that Ellstr m presents in this book contrasts with so much of today's superficial reportage. China is not just a country in the process of stupendous economic development but also a land of cultural and political expansion. Historical monuments are reconstructed, not merely to promote tourism but also to implant a partisan interpretation of the past. Ethnic massacres are officially referred to as pacification. Even names of places are changed. All the while, however, discontent is brewing under the surface. The miracle of economic growth is also a country of ever-widening social, geographical and ethnic chasms.
Neoliberalism and Race

Neoliberalism and Race

Lars Cornelissen

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
2025

Lars Cornelissen argues that the category of race constitutes an organizing principle of neoliberal ideology. Using the methods of intellectual history and drawing on insights from critical race studies, Cornelissen explores the various racial constructs that structure neoliberal ideology, some of which are explicit, while others are more coded. Beginning in the interwar period and running through to recent developments, Neoliberalism and Race shows that racial themes have always pervaded neoliberal thinking. The book's key argument is that neoliberal thought is constitutively racialized—its racial motifs cannot be extracted from neoliberalism without rendering it theoretically and politically incoherent. The book aptly explores a wide variety of racial constructs through the structure of neoliberal ideology, deconstructing the conceptualizations works of landmark thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Peter Bauer, Thomas Sowell, Charles Murray, and others from the early twentieth century to the present. In this original—perhaps controversial—critique, Cornelissen asserts that neoliberal thinkers were not just the passive recipients of racial discourse, but also directly impacted it.
