Central European University
(CEU) Press is pleased to announce the publication of two new open access books
funded entirely by library members of the Opening the Future (OtF)
programme.
Available now, our new OA books can be freely downloaded and read online, and can also be bought in print.
An Older and More Beautiful Belgrade:
A Visual Chronicle of the Milošević Era; Mileta Prodanović
This grand illustrated essay
depicts the devolution of Serbia’s capital during the exceptionally difficult
years of Slobodan Milošević’s rule. An interwoven fabric of facts, reflections,
insights, and photographs presents Belgrade in a portrait as imaginative and
unique as this city’s culture and life are. Integrating cultural anthropology,
the history of art and architecture, urban studies and political commentary,
Prodanović analyses changes to the city’s visual environment during the 1990s
which reveal the impact of deeper social forces.
It will be of interest to anyone researching Serbia,
Yugoslavia, populism, visual anthropology, and post-socialism and is available on Project MUSE, DOAB, Open Research Library, JSTOR, OAPEN, De Gruyter as well as on EBSCO, ProQuest, and Overdrive.
More Nights than Days: A Survey of Writings of Child Genocide
Survivors; Judit Kiss
More Nights Than Days is
a unique exploration of the experience of children who survived the
Holocaust—including Roma and Sinti victims—and the genocides in Cambodia,
Rwanda, and Bosnia.
This overview of writings of
ninety-one child survivors bears evidence from a wide range of human
ruthlessness. The author presents little-known texts along with famous memoirs
and autobiographical fiction, with abundant quotations. Many of these are not
only compelling as historical testimony, but poetic and stirringly expressive.
Yudit Kiss has not written a historical study or literary criticism of the
children’s books. She explores, instead, what the authors went through and what
they felt and understood about their experience. An accessible and captivating
reading, this volume presents a close-up, human size dimension of the
destruction.
It will be of interest to anyone researching and working on Holocaust and genocide studies, and is available on Project MUSE, DOAB, Open Research Library, JSTOR, OAPEN, De Gruyter as well as on EBSCO, ProQuest, and Overdrive.
Funding for this new OA title comes from the Press’ collective library
membership programme Opening
the Future, bringing the initiative’s OA
output to 12 published titles. Opening the Future at CEU Press is a
cost-effective way for libraries to increase their digital collections on the
history and culture of Central and Eastern Europe and the former communist
countries.
Subscribing libraries get
unlimited multi-user access to curated packages of backlist books, with
perpetual access after three years. The Press uses membership funds solely to
produce new frontlist titles in OA format.

the Future can be found on
