Retribution and Reparation in the Transition to Democracy
Author: Jon Elster
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107320534
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
The contributions in this volume offer a comprehensive analysis of transitional justice from 1945 to the present. They focus on retribution against the leaders and agents of the autocratic regime preceding the democratic transition, and on reparation to its victims. Part I contains general theoretical discussions of retribution and reparation. The essays in Part II survey transitional justice in the wake of World War II, covering Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Norway. In Part III, the contributors discuss more recent transitions in Argentina, Chile, Eastern Europe, the former German Democratic Republic, and South Africa, including a chapter on the reparation of injustice in some of these transitions. The editor provides a general introduction, brief introductions to each part, and a conclusion that looks beyond regime transitions to broader issues of rectifying historical injustice.

The Last Journey of Ago Ymeri
Author: Bashkim Shehu
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810121115
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 123
Book Description
In a remote Albanian village, a place of banishment, a stranger appears, claiming to be Viktor Dragoti and looking for his long-lost love. That Viktor Dragoti has been dead for nine years, killed by the Albanian coast guard while trying to swim to freedom, only adds to the stranger's mystery--and to the suspense of this curiously real and yet otherworldly work by one of Albania's most distinguished writers. With echoes of The Return of Martin Guerre and Kafka's The Trial, with allusions to The Odyssey and the Albanian folktale of Ago Ymeri, a legendary hero released from the underworld for one day, Shehu's novel blends the autobiographical and the historical, the personal and the political into a powerful tale--a story that conveys the terrors, small and large, of a totalitarian state while capturing all that is surreal and even lyrical in life in such a deeply distorted world.

Pages : 328
Book Description
This bilingual edition presents the poetry of the greatest living Albanian poet. Visar Zhiti lived a life of great privation: locked away in dictator Enver Hoxha's prisons, he was not allowed pencil or paper. He wrote his poems in his mind and he and other prisoners committed them to memory. Only when Hoxha fell from power and the political prisoners were freed was Zhiti's magnificent poetry brought to print. Now English-speaking readers can share in the remarkably gentle and imaginatively rich poems produced from these years of suffering.

Balkan Beauty, Balkan Blood
Author: Robert Elsie
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810123371
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
In these stories representing the last three decades of Albanian writing--especially the burst of creativity in the newfound freedom of the 1990s--readers will encounter work that reflects the literary paradox of Eastern Europe in the late twentieth century: the startling originality of the new uneasily coupled with the strains of history; the sophistication and self-consciousness of late (or post-) modernity married to the simplicity of a literature first finding its voice; a refusal of political influence and pressure expressed through frankly political subject matter.
