Se trata de gente: una variedad de personajes de la Ciudad Vieja de Jerusalén por Harout Bedrossian Harout Bedrossian, joven escritor armenio de la Ciudad Vieja de Jerusalén, logra representar en esta novela compacta a una variedad de personajes de diversos ámbitos, que inesperadamente se interconectan y correlacionan a pesar de las distintas maneras que tienen de ver las cosas. Un joven con bajo cociente de inteligencia lucha por integrarse. A pesar de que se le considera una persona carente de emociones, de que la sociedad lo condena al ostracismo y de que su padre lo maltrata, se enamora y, para sorpresa de su madre, una mujer lo ama y también lo acepta. Un famoso atleta, que ha perdido la fama y ha caído en el anonimato, se siente revitalizado al conocer a una joven comprensiva y clemente. Un psiquiatra, que se topó con "el paciente equivocado" que le cambió totalmente la vida, se vio forzado a exilarse de Rusia y, en su nuevo país, se encuentra con una cultura totalmente diferente, mientras su pasado lo sigue atormentando. Un joven cristiano devoto, falsamente acusado y que acaba en prisión, sigue lleno de vida y esperanza, confía en el Señor y cree que todo lo que sucede en la vida debe tener un motivo. Una desafortunada víctima de violación aprende de nuevo a amar y otros varios personajes se descubren a sí mismos a través de sus interacciones con los demás. El autor no menciona la nacionalidad de la mayoría de los personajes involucrados, ya que sus problemas y dificultades son puramente humanos y universales, sean israelíes o palestinos, cristianos, musulmanes o judíos y sostiene que, esencialmente, debemos hacer frente a los mismos elementos humanos. El relato, que transcurre principalmente en Jerusalén, está inspirado en personas que la autora conoció a través de su labor profesional en visitas a hospitales psiquiátricos, que representan a la población diversa que sólo se encuentra en un país multicultural como Israel. Estos elementos humanos de la obra de Bedrossian quizá evoquen en la memoria del lector al célebre escritor estadounidense de origen armenio William Saroyan, que deleitó a millones con sus narraciones acerca de personas fracasadas decididas a triunfar. Harout Bedrossian nació en 1972 en Jerusalén, viajó a Florida en 1989 y obtuvo su bachillerato en un colegio secundario de West Palm Beach. Tras regresar a Jerusalén, comenzó a trabajar como ayudante de profesor y se licenció en psicología y criminología en la Universidad de Sudáfrica. Por el hecho de haber nacido y haberse criado en el seno de una familia armenia de Jerusalén, se ha visto expuesto a la cultura armenia, a la árabe y a la judía y habla con fluidez armenio, inglés, hebreo y árabe.

Concepts of 'race' and racism are central to British history. They have shaped, and been shaped by, British identities, economies and societies for centuries, from colonialism and enslavement to the 'hostile environment' of the 2010s. Yet state and societal racism has always been met with resistance. This edited volume collects the latest research on anti-racist action in Britain, and makes the case for a multifaceted, historically contingent 'tradition' of British anti-racism shaped by local, national and transnational contexts, networks and movements. Ranging from Pan-Africanist activism in the 1890s to mutual aid women's groups in the 1970s, from anti-racist trade union marches in Scotland to West African student groups in North East England - this book explores the continuities and interruptions in British anti-racism from the nineteenth century to the present day.
