        Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America

        by Tiberiu Dianu

        The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

        Per una fetta di mela secca (For a shrivelled apple slice)

        by Begoña Feijoo Fariña

        From the early 40s to the early 80s, Swiss children and teenagers used to be coercively left to live with farmers, or put in an institute. Of course, the kids didn’t have a say in the decision. A huge number of children faced this unwanted fate – mostly the offspring of poor families, illegitimate children, children of dubious origin, and youths that were labelled as turbulent, stubborn or riotous. The victims of such inflicted placements were sent to work, forced to slave in the farms, committed to psychiatric institutes, jailed, abused, adopted coactively, and even sterilised without them knowing.“For a shrivelled apple slice” tells the story of one of these children – Lidia Scettrini. A fictional character with a fictional name, created in order to unveil what had been not fictional at all for many actual children.After the divorce of her parents, Lidia is left to live with her mother in the small town of Cavaione, in eastern Switzerland. One day, exasperated by the continuous mocking and bullying, she decides to steal some snacks from her classmate Piero. Piero’s parents will accuse Lidia of robbery; because of this, and because of the destitution Lidia and her mother live in, the little girl will be sent to stay in a religious institute. Abused and mistreated by the nuns, Lidia is then left in the cares of a farmer. In this new “home” she will befriend Anne, the farmer’s wife; ill and confined to bed, the lady will be the only loving presence in Lidia’s life. By the time Anne dies, Lidia is a nineteen-year-old woman, about to come of age and ready to leave behind the horror of her past and move back to Cavaione. Coming back to her birthplace, Lidia doesn’t feel like she belongs there anymore: nonetheless, she will battle against the trauma she had to suffer and grow, at long last, into something new.In 2018 the Swiss Confederation established a solidarity contribution in favour of the victims of the so-called “Compulsory Social Measures and Placements”. In the act of filling out the application form, Lidia will re-evoke the thought of everything that has been stolen from her, finding in her heart the strength that is needed to fully seize the day.
