What Lies Beneath Srebrenica
The history of Yugoslavia is complex, eventful, and undeniably tragic. It is impossible to isolate a single episode and view it as something separate from the broader historical context. Yet, this is precisely what is being done with the events in Srebrenica, reducing the entire history to one town and just a few days in July 1995 - during which, in the presence of UN peacekeeping forces and foreign journalists, the Army of the Republic of Srpska somehow managed to secretly commit "genocide of the Muslim population."In 2007, the International Court of Justice ruled that genocide had been committed in Srebrenica. This decision paved the way for the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague to bring charges of war crimes against the highest political and military leadership of the Serbs: Radovan Karadzic, Ratko Mladic, and Radislav Krstic. After all, it is evident that a head of state or government who has committed genocide against his own people is unfit to hold office and must be held accountable by the international community.If a state is accused of genocide, it signifies that it has failed in its fundamental duty to protect its citizens. In this case, theoretically, all means, including military intervention, should be employed to stop mass killings. It was after Srebrenica that many, following the lead of American diplomat Richard Holbrooke, recognized that a war crimes tribunal is "a very valuable weapon."
Superhero Comics and Scottish Identity
Superhero Comics and Scottish Identity explores the life and career of Glasgow-born, Eisner Award-winning, and internationally acclaimed Marvel, DC, and Image Comics artist Frank Quitely. With a prolific career spanning more than three decades, Quitely played a pivotal role in the British superhero renaissance of the 1990s and 2000s and in the explosive emergence of the Scottish new wave of comics, a movement that included peers like Alan Grant, Mark Millar, and Grant Morrison, but has been underrepresented in both comics studies and Scottish studies. This work investigates questions of historical and contemporary expressions of Scottishness in transcultural comics genres such as superhero, science fiction, and fantasy. Framed through the lens of comics and literary genres, as well as their British and American editors, Quitely's approach to Scottishness is oblique and self-reflexive; his expressions of Scottishness are tensely bound to current nuanced examinations of Scottish national, literary and historical subjectivity. His work oscillates between two axiomatic antipodes: the regional, provincial, and local versus the transnational, cosmopolitan, and global.This comprehensive study also features an in-depth interview with Quitely, as well as unearthed archives, sketchbooks, notes, and donated or personal artworks not available elsewhere.This book will be made open access within three years of publication thanks to JSTOR's Path to Open pilot.
Low
David Bowie's legendary time in West Berlin as he searches for inspiration and records his 1977 album Low LOW traces the aftermath of David Bowie's groundbreaking tour of America and the iconic "Berlin years" that followed. Hot on the platform heels of Starman: Bowie's Stardust Years (SelfMadeHero, 2023), Reinhard Kleist masterfully concludes his two-part biography of David Bowie. In 1976, Bowie escaped the frantic madness and substance abuse of his life in Los Angeles for the Wall of the divided city of Berlin. With his friend Iggy Pop in tow, Bowie quit drugs and created LOW, the first album of his "Berlin Trilogy." But even here, in some of the happiest days of his life, Ziggy Stardust would not let him go . . . LOW follows Bowie's forays through West Berlin's revolutionary music scene and wild club life, and takes us deep into his recording sessions at Hansa Studios. The friendship between Bowie and Iggy drives both artists to new creative heights, while Bowie's relationship with the cabaret artist and drag icon Romy Haag illuminates his fascination with Berlin as a city on the brink. Kleist's LOW is both a retelling of Bowie's Berlin years and a vibrant portrait of the city itself.

El Iluminado
In this entertaining, thought-provoking detective graphic novel set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a fictional Ilan Stavans seeks to solve a murder and locate a lost manuscript by a prominent 16th-century Crypto-Jew burned at the stake by the Spanish Inquisition. When young Rolando Perez falls to his death from a cliff outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, the mysteries immediately begin to accumulate. Was he pushed or did he jump? What might Rolando have been so desperate to protect that he would sacrifice himself? And what does a colorful concha pastry have to do with any of this? In the midst of the investigation, Professor Ilan Stavans arrives in Santa Fe to give a lecture about the area's long-buried Jewish history. He's looking forward to relaxing afterward with an evening at the opera, but his presentation on "crypto-Jews" attracts unexpected attention, and soon Ilan is drawn into a desperate race to find the long-lost documents that might hold the key to Rolando's death. His amateur sleuthing leads him to taco joints, desert ranches, soaring cathedrals, and, finally, deep into the region's past, where he encounters Luis de Carvajal, also called "El Iluminado." In a sixteenth-century tale of martyrdom that eerily echoes Rolando's, Carvajal fled Spain for colonial Mexico at the height of the Spanish Inquisition, searching for his religious heritage--a hunt for which he, like Rolando, would pay the ultimate price. In El Iluminado, esteemed literary critic Ilan Stavans and author and illustrator Steve Sheinkin present a secret history of religion in the Americas, showing how thousands of European refugees have left a trail of ghostly footprints--and troves of mysteries--across the American Southwest. This paperback edition includes a new afterword recounting the amazing events that occurred after the original publication, including the real-life discovery of the long-lost memoir of Luis de Carvajal and its restoration to Mexico.
