Sinopsis

"Alexander Lukashenko's Belarus" offers a compelling examination of Eastern Europe's longest-serving head of state and his unprecedented 27-year grip on power. The book meticulously traces how a former collective farm director transformed Belarus into a unique hybrid state, maintaining authority through a delicate balance of Soviet-style governance and selective market reforms, while skillfully navigating relationships with both Russia and the West.

 
Through extensive research drawing from previously unavailable government archives and firsthand accounts, the book chronicles Lukashenko's journey from his rise to power in 1994 through the watershed 2020 election. The narrative explores three crucial elements of his regime: power consolidation in the 1990s, the development of a state-controlled economic model, and Belarus's careful positioning between Russian influence and European interests.

 
Particularly fascinating is how Lukashenko's administration has managed to maintain stability by preserving Soviet-era structures while selectively adopting modern reforms. The book progresses chronologically, examining pivotal moments such as the 1996 constitutional reforms and the implementation of the distinctive "Belarusian economic model" in the early 2000s.

 
What makes this analysis particularly valuable is its comprehensive approach to understanding authoritarian governance in the post-Soviet space, combining insights from political science, economics, and international relations. For scholars, policymakers, and readers interested in contemporary European affairs, it provides crucial context for understanding both Belarus's unique political landscape and broader regional dynamics.

  • Racial Justice for the Long Haul - How White Christian Advocates Persevere (and Why) - cover

    Racial Justice for the Long Haul...

    Many White Christians feel convicted when they hear of racial injustice but aren't sure what they can do. They often become overwhelmed by deep divisions, conflicting priorities, and historical burdens. They need a clearer vision for engagement with racial justice and reconciliation that goes beyond easy answers or simplistic optimism. Isn't there anyone who has found a way forward? 
     
    Anthropologist Christine Jeske has studied precisely this question. Her one-of-a-kind research started by asking people of color about their work and experience with White advocates of racial justice. She then studied the postures, ideas, and actions of those they recommended as positive examples. 
     
    In Racial Justice for the Long Haul, Jeske presents her findings on what makes for an effective, enduring approach, revealing shared threads in the lives of White Christians who have faithfully embraced the call to advocate for justice. By abandoning simplistic answers and confronting the depths of suffering and injustice, they discover a bold way of hope that perseveres. This book features a unique methodology of interviews with Christian leaders of color and White advocates, makes qualitative ethnographic research accessible, and provides concrete examples of how White Christians can grow―and persist―in working for racial justice.

    A searing essay collection that explores displacement and loss, creativity and change, institutional power and progress. 
     
     
     
    Born in Korea, raised in the American South, and trying her best to survive British academia, SJ Kim probes her experiences as a writer, a scholar, and a daughter to confront the silences she finds in the world. With curiosity and sensitivity, she writes letters to the institutions that simultaneously support and fail her, intimate accounts of immigration, and interrogations of rising anti-Black and anti-Asian racism. She considers the silences between generations—especially within the Asian diaspora in the West—as she finds her way back to her own family during the pandemic lockdown. 
     
     
     
    Embracing the possibilities and impossibilities of language, Kim rejoices in the similes of Korean, her mother tongue, and draws inspiration from K-dramas and writers across cultures who sustain her. As borders close in and nations enter lockdown, the journey that Kim traces is fraught—and at once illuminates that the act of remaining present has its own power, allowing boundless hope.

    A practical roadmap for foster and adoptive familiesCaring for children is deeply important to the heart of God, and adoption and foster care are important callings that connect to God’s heart for children and families. But this road isn’t always easy. It’s important that foster and adoptive parents prepare to address their children’s history of trauma, separation, and disrupted placements, which can lead to mental health, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. It is also important to understand how this journey shapes and influences our children. We cannot ignore the deep feelings and questions that children experience as they try to understand their story. How can we help them navigate their identity, and sit with them in the unknowns of their story or the grief and loss that comes up?​Drawing on the latest science and research on trauma, attachment, sensory processing difficulties, cultural competence, and grief and loss, authors Josh and Jenn Hook provide a trauma-informed approach to help adoptive and foster families—and the church called to care for the vulnerable in our midst—to help their children heal, grow, and thrive.
