Sie schrieb einen emotionalen Brief an Bundeskanzlerin Merkel, der durch die Medien ging. Über eine Million Menschen sahen ihre Botschaft auf YouTube. Spätestens seit ihrer Teilnahme an der ZDF-Sendung "Wie geht's Deutschland" wurde sie einem breiten Publikum bekannt. Die Rede ist von Petra Paulsen.

So wie Linda Zervakis heute in die Wohnzimmer der Nation guckt, hat sie früher aus dem Kiosk ihrer Eltern geschaut. Was sie da gesehen hat? Migranten, Arbeitslose und "Leute, die zum Frühstück Kräuterschnaps bestellen". Und natürlich: Gute, herzliche Typen, die sich in ihrem Kiez umeinander kümmern und ihre Roth-Händle, Dickmanns-Frischebox und bunte Tüten seit 20 Jahren bei Familie Zervakis kaufen. Linda hatte Glück, eine gute Schule und den festen Willen, nicht für immer aus dem Büdchen zu schauen. Der Rest ist ihre Geschichte.

"وبينما أنا في هذه الحالةِ منَ الانهيارِ لم أجدْ أمامي سوى متنفَّسي الوحيدِ وهو "الفيسبوك"، فكتبتُ عمَّا أمرُّ به، ووجدتُ تفاعلاً كبيراً، حتى رأى ما كتبتُه أحدُ أصدقائي من الممثلينَ المشهورينَ، فاتصلَ بي وعرَضَ عليَّ أن يحجِزَ لي تذكِرةَ سفرٍ ذهابًا وعودةً لأرى ابنتي، وقالَ حرفياً: "انت ازاي تبقى بنتك بتتولد وانت مش معاها، اتفضل ابعتلي باسبورك حالاً وهحجزلك وتنزل مصر حالاً"."

Verbrechen aus "Ehre": Hintergründe und Strategien zur Prävention. Obwohl sogenannte Ehrenmorde nur einen kleinen Teil der Tötungsdelikte hierzulande ausmachen, erschüttern sie uns besonders, wir sind kaum in der Lage, sie rational und emotional zu verstehen. Der Gedanke, einen womöglich sogar nahestehenden Menschen zu ermorden, nur um die vermeintliche Familienehre zu erhalten oder wiederherzustellen, macht uns rat- und fassungslos.

I want to let you, the listener, know that you are important to me. That is why I want to introduce you to my book and to let you know how God provided me with all I needed, and that was help and one more chance.

Born in, and named after, Thailand's Khao-I-Dang refugee camp, Y-Dang Troeung was - aged one - the last of 60,000 Cambodian refugees admitted to Canada, fleeing her homeland in the aftermath of Pol Pot's brutal Khmer Rouge regime. In Canada, Y-Dang became a literal poster child for the benevolence of the Canadian refugee project - and, implicitly, the unknowable horrors of Khmer Rouge-era Cambodia. In Landbridge, a family and personal memoir of astonishing power, Y-Dang grapples with a life lived in the shadow of pre-constructed narratives.

An den europäischen Außengrenzen werden vielfach Menschenrechte gebrochen. Geflüchtete werden ohne Zugang zu Asylverfahren zurückgewiesen, eingesperrt, auf dem Meer ausgesetzt und misshandelt. Erik Marquardt sitzt für die Grünen im EU-Parlament und war in den letzten Jahren immer wieder auf der Balkanroute, auf Lesbos und bei der Seenotrettung auf dem Mittelmeer. In seinem Buch macht er die Diskrepanz zwischen dem europäischen Bekenntnis zu Menschenrechten und -würde und der Wirklichkeit vor Ort deutlich.

Whether or not we trace our families from beyond the shores of Britain, we British people deserve a better understanding of our shared past, and opportunities to explore and recognise the complexities and contractions of empire. Careless or wilful amnesia has allowed the British migration narrative to begin in the mid-twentieth century, with migrants from India, Pakistan and the Caribbean forming the foundation of present-day multicultural Britain. For people of colour the questions: Where are you from? No, where are you really from? often imply more than simple curiosity.

The audiobook argues that the border with Mexico should be completely open for Mexicans wishing to travel north. Up Against the Wall provides the background to understanding how the border has become a fraud, resulting in nothing more than the criminalization of Mexican and other migrants, the bloating of the mismanaged US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the deterioration of living standards along the frontier, and the enrichment of American employers.

The story of early Asian immigration to the United States is also one about race legislation and discrimination at a time when global populations were moving with more frequency and merging ahead of their ability to practically assimilate.
