East-West Financial Relations
No full textIn this book, Iliana Zloch-Christy analyses the problems of Eastern Europe's convertible currency external debt situation and its impact on the financing of East-West trade in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This book, published in 1991, is a continuation of Dr Zloch Christy's Debt Problems of Eastern Europe (1987) and is the first study of the complexities of East-West trade and finance in this period. The author addresses four main issues. First, she examines market-oriented reforms in Eastern Europe's economic system and the changes that took place in East-West political relations. Dr Zloch-Christy then assesses whether convertible currency debt problems are an inherent part of the economic development of Eastern Europe, and if the problems are region-wide, and she discusses the strategies adopted to deal with them. She continues by exploring the extent to which the problems which arose from indebtedness affected the financing of East-West trade. Finally, the author assesses medium- and long-term debt prospects at this time, both for Eastern Europe as a whole and for each country within the CMEA.</jats:p

Allegory vs. Authenticity: The Commission and Reception of Howard Chandler Christy\u27s The Signing of the Constitution of the United States
No full textOver a four-year period during the Great Depression, Howard Chandler Christy painted three diverse versions of the signing of the Constitution. The last—an enormous canvas 20 by 30 feet—was the most expensive painting commissioned by the federal government to date and took three years to research and complete. This essay examines how and why politics intervened in the commission and creation of Christy’s painting and contextualizes the canvas visually and socially. Ultimately, the author suggests that Congress’s participation in the representation of this pivotal moment in US history was shaped by the looming threat of war in Europe

They led and a community followed: the community activism of Ella Mae Brayboy and Dorothy Bolden in Atlanta, Georgia, 1964-1994, 2007
No full textThis study examines the leadership of community activists Ella Mae Wade Brayboy and Dorothy Bolden, and their contributions to the Civil Rights Movement in Atlanta, Georgia from 1964 to 1994. The study was based on three congruent factors: Ella Mae Brayboy and Dorothy Bolden organized and mobilized members of their communities to register to vote, both women ascended into leadership positions within their respective organizations, and both women were pioneers. Brayboy was the first African-American Deputy Voter Registrar in the state of Georgia, while Bolden founded the National Domestic Workers Union. Research was conducted via oral interviews with Ella Mae Brayboy's daughter; by examining the archives of the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African- American Culture and History, the Southern Labor records housed at Georgia State University and Special Collections in the Robert W. Woodruff Library. While there has been documentation of their contributions, there is very little critical analysis focused on Ella Mae Brayboy and Dorothy Bolden's leadership. Their involvement with community activism and civil rights created agencies for change. These women were responsible for registering thousands of African-Americans to vote, as well as directly improving the daily living conditions of the residents in their communities. The conclusion drawn from this study confirms that Ella Mae Brayboy and Dorothy Bolden were pioneers in the Civil Rights Movement, as well as agents for social change. The progressive actions of these women uplifted members of their community by providing access to enfranchisement and economic empowerment
Individual Traumas in Christy Lefteri’s The Beekeeper of Aleppo
No full textChristy Lefteri was born in 1980 in London. Years later, her volunteering experience in a UNICEF-supported refugee centre in Greece during the European migrant crisis, which started around 2014 and has been continuing since then, became the basis for The Beekeeper of Aleppo (2018; the edition of 2019 is used here). In the novel, Lefteri reflects on migrant experience through fictitious characters and their personal traumas. Thus, this article aims to discuss how the author represents her characters’ traumatic experiences. These traumas start before their moving away from the city of Aleppo (Syria), which suffers from a crisis caused by a civil war, and continue haunting them throughout their journey to Turkey, the Greek islands, Greece, and the UK and result in an identity and relationship crisis. In addition, the migration process itself is not smooth and adds more weight to their earlier experienced traumas. Nuri and his wife Afra, the main characters of the novel, are traumatised mostly psychologically, but their traumas manifest themselves physically. Even though these characters do create coping mechanisms, they never verbalise their traumas until they reach their destination, which is the UK, and thus suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder for quite some time. Only when Nuri and his wife start speaking about their experiences and symptoms, the process of overcoming their traumas starts. The analysis of the novel is carried out within the framework of the Literary Trauma Theory. Some of the key issues of the theory, which are relevant to the discussion, include inability to speak about traumatic experience, post-traumatic symptoms, and belatedly experienced trauma
Songbirds
No full textFrom the prize-winning author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, a stunning novel about the disappearance of a Sri Lankan nanny and how the most vulnerable people find their voices. It began with a crunch of leaves and earth. So early, so cold, the branches shone with ice. I\u27d returned to collect the songbirds. They are worth more than their weight in gold. Yiannis is a poacher, trapping the tiny protected songbirds that stop in Cyprus as they migrate each year from Africa to Europe and selling them on the black market. He dreams of finding a new way of life, and of marrying Nisha, who works on the island as a nanny and maid--having left her native Sri Lanka to try to earn enough to support her daughter, left behind and raised by relatives. But Nisha has vanished; one evening, she steps out on a mysterious errand and doesn\u27t return. The police write off her disappearance as just another runaway domestic worker, so her employer, Petra, undertakes the investigation. Petra\u27s unravelling of Nisha\u27s last days in Cyprus lead her to Nisha\u27s friends--other maids in the neighborhood--and to the darker side of a migrant\u27s life, where impossible choices leave them vulnerable, captive, and worse. Based on the real-life disappearance of domestic workers in Cyprus, Christy Lefteri has crafted a poignant, deeply empathetic narrative of the human stories behind the headlines. With infinite tenderness and skill, Songbirds offers a triumphant story of the fight for truth and justice, and of women reclaiming their lost voiceshttps://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1805/thumbnail.jp
