Europe, as the rest of the world, has been experiencing great migratory movements. According to the UNHCR, at least 65.5 million people are forced from their homes and either internally displaced in their home countries or have fled to other parts of the world. Many of them are young people who, either accompanied by family or alone, have fled to Europe. The public debate is filled with claims about why these people are fleeing and what their opinions about Europe and Denmark are. What is striking, is that the young refugees’ personal stories are absent in the debate. That was what Senior Fellow Sara Ridder – and her internship Ungdomsbureauet (the Youth Bureau) – wanted to address with the project and book “The Refugees.” Through this Action Project, young individuals who fled to Denmark were given the opportunity to tell their stories, thoughts, and dreams. Each person got five pages to tell their experiences of being a young person and having fled their home country. The goal of The Refugees project was to provide insight into the lives of the people behind the statistics and thus bring new perspectives to the topic of refugees from the points of view of young people who have lived that reality. The book also encourages citizens and decision makers to reflect. On top of being a book, The Refugees project is also a reflexive workshop process. The young refugees are paired with a volunteer who aided the storytellers in their process of reflection and writing through a series of 10 workshops.

In conflicts around the world, there is an increasingly popular weapon system that needs negligible technology, is simple to sustain, has unlimited versatility, and an incredible capacity for both loyalty and barbarism. What are these cheap, renewable, plentiful, sophisticated, and expendable weapons? Children. This important book is part of a passionate personal mission against the use of child soldiers, by the three-star general who commanded the UN mission in Rwanda. When Romeo Dallaire was tasked with achieving peace there in 1994, he and his force found themselves caught up in a vortex of civil war and genocide. He left Rwanda a broken man, disillusioned, suicidal, a story he told in the award-winning international sensation Shake Hands with the Devil. Now, in They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children, Dallaire provides an emotionally daring and intellectually enlightening introduction to the child soldier phenomenon, as well as concrete solutions for its total eradication. Dallaire speaks up for those without a voice - children in conflicts around the globe who do not choose to fight, but who through ill-fate and the accident of birth find their way into soldiering. This is a book that addresses one of the most harrowing, urgent and important issues of our time. Source: Publisher They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children is a non-fiction book by the Canadian politician and former general Romeo Dallaire about the child-soldier phenomenon. The book contains a foreword by Ishmael Beah, an ex child soldier and author of A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. Wikipedia

In case anyone in Washington hasn't noticed, Americans are fed up with the status quo. In this, the first shot fired over the bow of the 2004 Presidential election, Michael Moore aims to unseat the man who slithered into the White House on tracks built by the bloody hands of Enron and greased with the oil of his daddy. As if an unelected, semi-literate president weren't problem enough, America's Democrats have managed to take the liberty out of "liberal," signing on with the G.O.P. for dirty corporate money and the ill-gotten gains of globalization. The "left" is just as satisfied as the right to stand idly by as the chasm between the haves and the have-nots grows wider and wider. Thank god for Michael Moore because Dude, Where's My Country tells us precisely what went wrong, and, more importantly, how to fix things. In a voice that is fearless, funny, and furious, Moore takes readers to the edge of righteous laughter and divine revenge. Source: Publisher Dude, Where's My Country? is a 2003 book by Michael Moore dealing with corporate and political events in the United States. The title is a satirical reworking of the 2000 film Dude, Where's My Car?. The book covers many topics and is written in a heavily satirical fashion, in common with much of Moore's work. Wikipedia

The idea that nothing happens by chance in history, that nothing is quite what it seems to be at first sight, that everything is the result of the secret machinations of malign groups of people manipulating everything from behind the scenes - these notions are as old as history itself. But conspiracy theories are becoming more popular and more widespread in the twenty-first century. Nowhere have they become more obvious than in revisionist accounts of the history of the Third Reich. Long-discredited conspiracy theories have taken on a new lease of life, given credence by claims of freshly discovered evidence and novel angles of investigation. This book takes five widely discussed claims involving Hitler and the Nazis and subjects them to forensic scrutiny: that the Jews were conspiring to undermine civilization, as outlined in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; that the German army was 'stabbed in the back' by socialists and Jews in 1918; that the Nazis burned down the Reichstag in order to seize power; that Rudolf Hess' flight to the UK in 1941 was sanctioned by Hitler and conveyed peace terms suppressed by Churchill; and that Hitler escaped the bunker in 1945 and fled to South America. In doing so, it teases out some surprising features that these, and other conspiracy theories, have in common. Source: Publisher

The Road Map to Negotiations is an extraordinary document. It was the centerpiece of the secret dialogue process between Abdullah calan and the Turkish state that started in 2009 and was broken off in mid-2011. Here calan defines the necessary steps that have to be met for a serious peace process to start. At the same time he outlines a real solution of the Kurdish issue. Going beyond traditional solutions like statehood or territorial autonomy, he envisions a democratic nation and a common homeland for all countries where Kurds live, indeed for the whole Middle East. Refusing traditional arguments, he gives all parties concerned something to think about. Source: Publisher Abdullah Öcalan, also known as Apo, is a founding member of the militant Kurdistan Workers' Party. Öcalan was based in Syria from 1979 to 1998. He helped found the PKK in 1978, and led it into the Kurdish–Turkish conflict in 1984. Wikipedia
