In this “valuable oral history,” women who survived the 1995 Srebrenica massacre speak of their lives before, during, and after the Bosnian war (Publishers Weekly). In July 1995, the Army of the Serbian Republic killed some eight thousand Bosnian men and boys in and around the town of Srebrenica—the largest mass murder in Europe since World War II. Surviving the Bosnian Genocide recounts the experiences of sixty female survivors who offer their testimony in interviews conducted by Dutch historian Selma Leydesdorff. The women, many of whom still live in refugee camps, talk about their lives before the Bosnian war, the events of the massacre, and the ways they have tried to cope with their fate. Though fragmented by trauma, the women tell of life and survival under extreme conditions, while recalling a time before the war when Muslims, Croats, and Serbs lived together peaceably. By giving them a voice, this book looks beyond the atrocities of that dark time to show the agency of these women during and after the war and their fight to uncover the truth of what happened at Srebrenica and why.

CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2016 Genocide and Gender in the Twentieth Century brings together a collection of some of the finest Genocide Studies scholars in North America and Europe to examine gendered discourses, practices and experiences of ethnic cleansing and genocide in the 20th century. It includes essays focusing on the genocide in Rwanda, the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire, the Holocaust and ethnic cleansing and genocide in the former Yugoslavia. The book looks at how historically- and culturally-specific ideas about reproduction, biology, and ethnic, national, racial and religious identity contributed to the possibility for and the unfolding of genocidal sexual violence, including mass rape. The book also considers how these ideas, in conjunction with discourses of femininity and masculinity, and understandings of female and male identities, contributed to perpetrators' tools and strategies for ethnic cleansing and genocide, as well as victims' experiences of these processes. This is an ideal text for any student looking to further understand the crucial topic of gender in genocide studies.

The social construction of genocide reflects the deeper question whether the rigid legal concept of genocide – as it emerges in the Genocide Convention and has been maintained ever since – still corresponds with the historical and social perception of the phenomenon. This book is the product of an intellectual encounter between scholars of historical and legal disciplines which have joined forces to address this question.

This book narrates the development of education in St. Maarten between 1954 and 2000, by tapping into the experience of the protagonists, giving them a voice in the recording of their own history. As such, it lends a voice to postcolonial subjects, who have often been bypassed or forgotten by most traditional historians, and thus rendered voiceless. The work is based on both written and oral history, including interviews with important educational agents, as well as former pupils and parents. By doing this, it describes the overall framework of education in St. Maarten within the juridical space of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The first part of the book deals with the Dutch Antilles in general, and with St. Maarten in particular, examining the effects of slavery and its consequences. Both before and after the restructuration of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1954, education was essentially shaped by the different religious denominations on the island. Over time, St. Maarten’s schooling system developed from an almost non-existing entity to a well-structured one, which closely resembled the educational framework in the Netherlands, its former colonial ruler. Part two reflects the respondents’ reactions to several issues concerning education in St. Maarten. It was only after local St. Maarten students became teachers that topics about the island found their place in the curriculum. Even though it took some time to integrate St. Maarten in the curriculum, the people did not (and still do not) have the feeling that education has let them down. It is only now that they are beginning to question whether, and to what extent, schools were, and are, able to positively influence young people. In the past, they believed that schooling – however foreign its curriculum may have been – did actually help them to find a niche in the world. After studying both written and oral sources, the book concludes that the coat of arms of St. Maarten is representative of its findings about education on this island: Semper progrediens – “Always progressing”. Education in St. Maarten has progressed without showing radical breaks.

Due to its internationality and interdisciplinarity, the International Oral History Association (IOHA), which was founded in the late 1970's, is one-of-a-kind in the academic landscape. Driven by the desire to democratize historical scholarship, its members wanted to "give a voice" to groups such as women, workers, migrants, or victims of political dictatorships who had not been heard up to that point. The contributions deal with the academic approaches and the political convictions of the previous generation.

In July 1995, the Bosnian Serb Army commanded by General Ratko Mladic attacked the enclave of Srebrenica, a UN "safe area" since 1993, and massacred about 8,000 Bosniac men. While the responsibility for the massacre itself lays clearly with the Serb political and military leadership, the question of the responsibility of various international organizations and national authorities for the fall of the enclave is still passionately discussed, and has given rise to various rumors and conspiracy theories. Follow-up investigations by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and by several commissions have dissipated most of these rumors and contributed to a better knowledge of the Srebrenica events and the part played by the main local and international actors. This volume represents the first systematic, comparative analysis of those investigations. It brings together analyses from both the external standpoint of academics and the inside perspective of various professionals who participated directly in the inquiries, including police officers, members of parliament, high-ranking civil servants, and other experts. Evaluating how institutions establish facts and ascribe responsibilities, this volume presents a historiographical and epistemological reflection on the very possibility of writing a history of the present time.

This book focuses on the development of bilateral Jewish-Muslim relations in London and Amsterdam since the late-1980s. It offers a comparative analysis that considers both similarities and differences, drawing on historical, social scientific, and religious studies perspectives. The authors address how Jewish-Muslim relations are related to the historical and contemporary context in which they are embedded, the social identity strategies Jews and Muslims and their institutions employ, and their perceived mutual positions in terms of identity and power. The first section reflects on the history and current profile of Jewish and Muslim communities in London and Amsterdam and the development of relations between Jews andMuslims in both cities. The second section engages with sources of conflict and cooperation. Four specific areas that cause tension are explored: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; antisemitism and Islamophobia; attacks by extremists; and the commemoration of wars and genocides. In addition to ‘trigger events’, what stands out is the influence of historical factors, public opinion, the ‘mainstream’ Christian churches and the media, along with the role of government. The volume will be of interest to scholars from fields including religious studies, interfaith studies, Jewish studies, Islamic studies, urban studies, European studies, and social sciences as well as members of the communities concerned, other religious communities, journalists, politicians, and teachers who are interested in Jewish-Muslim relations.

Omgang met de eigentijdse geschiedenis is ondenkbaar zonder verhalen over het verleden. Selma Leydesdorff heeft jarenlang nationaal en internationaal een centrale rol gespeeld in de ontwikkeling van oral history, een vakgebied dat in de wetenschappelijke praktijk van het historisch onderzoek in de afgelopen decennia is uitgegroeid tot een internationaal erkende vorm van geschiedschrijving. In 2004 deed zij van de vroege ontwikkeling van oral history verslag in De mensen en de woorden. Nu, bijna twee decennia later, is het tijd opnieuw de stand van zaken op te maken. Haar inzichten van nu zijn gebaseerd op nieuw onderzoek naar hoe verhalen van getraumatiseerde betrokkenen gangbare beelden over het verleden veranderen. Zij kijkt terug op haar werk op het gebied van de traumatische herinneringen van de vrouwen van Srebrenica en de levensloop van overlevenden van trauma, Sobibor en andere kampen. Leydesdorff pleit daarnaast voor een betere coördinatie van het inmiddels omvangrijke en verspreide bronnenmateriaal, en voor een digitale inhaalslag om deze bronnen, die onze kijk op het verleden onvermijdelijk vernieuwen, beter toegankelijk te maken. Dienke Hondius, Arjan van Hessen en Fridus Steijlen hebben korte bijdragen geleverd over respectievelijk 'zwarte geschiedenis', digitalisering en (post)koloniale herinnering. Selma Leydesdorff (1949) is historica en emeritus hoogleraar aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Zij is internationaal bekend als prominent onderzoekster en theorievormer op het gebied van mondelinge geschiedenis, oral history. Deze methode gebruikte ze onder meer voor haar in 2008 verschenen De leegte achter ons laten. Een geschiedenis van de vrouwen van Srebrenica.

'Het doel en de leegte' is waarschijnlijk de grappigste roman over de financiële crisis. De Fransman Claude Martingale, aan zijn lot overgelaten in het verbijsterend vochtige, geïsoleerde Ierland, wordt benaderd door Paul, een schrijver die het allemaal niet mee zit. En Paul is op zoek naar zijn volgende onderwerp: Claude, bankier. Claude leeft op onder die externe, letterlijk romantiserende blik. Maar Pauls plan is niet wat het lijkt – noch is Claudes werkgever dat, de Torabundo Investeringsbank. Die zwelt op door derivatenhandel en troebele overnames en... Het laat zich raden wat dat allemaal teweegbrengt, maar Het doel en de leegte gaat uiteindelijk over veel meer dan het bankwezen alleen. Een waardige opvolger van publiekslieveling 'Skippy tussen de sterren'.
