Ein junger Mann namens Ismet Prcić verlässt seine vom Krieg zerrissene Heimat. Er landet in Kalifornien, unter einem ewig blauen Himmel. Zurückgelassen hat er seine Eltern, seine erste Liebe, einen Teil von sich. Und die Gewissheit, dass die Wirklichkeit solide ist, ein fester Boden. Er schreibt Briefe an seine Mutter, doch die Wahrheit steht in seinem Tagebuch: dass er in Deckung geht, wenn ein Auto eine Fehlzündung hat, dass er eine Pistole besitzt, dass die Leute ihn meiden: ein durchgeknallter Bosnier, der nicht klarkommt und zu viel trinkt. Jemand rät ihm, alles aufzuschreiben, die Vergangenheit zu ordnen. Die Bilder der Kindheit kommen, süß und schmerzvoll. Tuzla, die belagerte Stadt. Das Sommerhaus. Doch wer ist Mustafa, dessen Geschichte sich in seine drängt wie ein nagender Widerspruch? Mustafa, der dem Krieg nicht entkommen ist und der ihn jetzt heimsucht wie ein Schatten, eine zweite Existenz. Die Erinnerungen, sie zerfallen vor seinen Augen, nichts lässt sich ordnen. Ismet hat Angst, den Verstand zu verlieren. Und Melissa, seine große Liebe. »Scherben« ist ein kraftvoller, ergreifender, zärtlicher Roman über das, was der Krieg im Menschen zerstört. Seine Klarheit und Kraft bringen eine dunkle Geschichte zum Leuchten.

The book is devoted to the most tragic period of the history of the Crimean Tatar people - the deportation of 1944. It describes the lives of the expelled people in foreign lands as well as tells us a story of long and self-sacrificing struggle of the Crimean Tatars for the right to return to their homeland. It is a detailed research of the history of the Crimean Tatar national movement and contains a lot of quotes from the Crimean Tatars’ self-publishing press as well as citations from the traditionally friendly to the Crimean Tatars Moscow editions of that times. An author also reinforced her research by analysis of many documents that were found in the Crimean, Kyiv and Moscow archives as well as by the interview with the most famous and respected member of the movement, leader of Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Djemilev, who was a prisoner of conscience many times during Soviet era. Mustafa Djemilev also wrote an introduction to the book. According to the author, resistance of Crimean Tatars to the criminal policy of the Moscow authorities and the refusal of Russian authorities to fulfil the just demands of the Crimean Tatar people are two different fronts of the national struggle of Crimean Tatar people. Despite the victory of the Crimean Tatars and their return to their homeland a quarter century ago, the struggle at the both fronts continues.

A memory drags another. An idea drags another. A moment drags another in a self-exploratory journey of a girl who is lost between her four addresses: between a mother imprisoned by her children and a father still stuck in a prison even after he was released. Between a lover who gave her all her hopes, only to come back and steal them from her, and friends who provided refuge that she rejected. Confused between divorce and the cause, between mother and father, between friendship, love and independence, trying to answer a simple question: Why can’t I bear the taste of milk?

Why adopt a poststructural lens for the reading of the military strategy of national missile defence (NMD)? No doubt, when contemplating an attack on US territory by intercontinental ballistic missiles, consulting Michel Foucault and critical international relations theory scholars may not seem the obvious route to take. The answer to this lies in another question: why has there been so much interest and continuous investment in NMD deployment when there is such ambiguity surrounding the status of threat to which it responds, controversy over its technological feasibility and concern about its cost? Posed in this manner, the question cannot be answered on its own terms - the terms given in official accounts of NMD that justify the system's significance on the basis of strategic feasibility studies and conventional threat predictions guided by worst-case scenarios. Instead, this book argues that the preferences leading to NMD deployment must be understood as satisfying requirements beyond strategic approaches and issues. In turning towards the interpretative modes of inquiry provided by critical social theory and poststructuralism, this book contests the conventional wisdom about NMD and suggests reading the strategy in terms of US identity. Presented as an analysis of discourses on threats to national security, around which the need for NMD deployment is predominantly framed, this book is an effort to let the two fields of critical international relations theory and US foreign policy speak directly to each other. It seeks to do so by showing how the concept of identity can be harnessed to an analysis of a contemporary military-strategic practice. ;
