Reporters weren't allowed into Kosovo during the war without the permission of the Yugoslavian government but Matthew McAllester went anyway. In Beyond the Mountains of the Damned he tells the story of Pec, Kosovo's most destroyed city and the site of the earliest and worst atrocities of the war, through the lives of two men-one Serb and one Kosovar. They had known each other, and been neighbors forKosovo War, 1998-1999Kosovo War, 1998-1999Personal narratives, AlbanianPejë (Kosovo)History, Military20th centuryElectronic books.Kosovo War, 1998-1999.Kosovo War, 1998-1999949.7103McAllester Matthew1969-1039313MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450053303321Beyond the Mountains of the Damned2473201UNINA02927nam 2200517 450 991046354770332120210511215452.0962-996-920-3962-996-963-7(CKB)2670000000560679(MiAaPQ)EBC5433583(OCoLC)867742102(MdBmJHUP)muse29609(Au-PeEL)EBL5433583(CaPaEBR)ebr11585372(EXLCZ)99267000000056067920180728d2013 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDemocracy on trial social movements and cultural politics in postauthoritarian Taiwan /Ya-Chung ChuangHong Kong :The Chinese University Press,[2013]©20131 online resource (292 pages) illustrations962-996-546-1 Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-258) and index.Preface -- Introduction -- Part I.

Contradicting mainstream research on political cultures, which relies heavily on survey data and statistical analysis, Ya-Chung Chuang produces an anthropologically inspired, contextually rich study using original source materials. He traces a genealogy of pivotal concepts, such as sovereignty, identity, and locality, at the heart of Taiwan's democratic discourse and relates the experience of democracy as "a way of life" from the viewpoints of a variety of subjects, including social movement participants, urban community members, and ethnic activists. His book explores the loaded meaning of democracy.DemocracyTaiwanSocial movementsTaiwanPolitics and cultureTaiwanElectronic books.DemocracySocial movementsPolitics and culture320.95124909048Chuang YaChung1057479MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463547703321Democracy on trial2492806UNINA
