Sommaire
MUSULMANS D'EUROPE
(sous la coordination de Jocelyne Cesari et Catherine de Wenden) Le rapport au religieux qui est presente ici est transversal, identitaire, hybride, local, minoritaire. A cette fin, il a ete choisi, plutot que de  decliner l’une apres l’autre des analyses par pays, de rassembler des etudes thematiques prenant appui sur des cas nationaux ou europeens: son role a l’ecole en Allemagne et en Autriche, sa quete de normalisation en Italie, sa gestion municipale en Belgique, sa place comme affirmation identitaire au Royaume-Uni, son implantation locale et ses enjeux comme religion devenue minorite agissante en Europe, les contextes 
d’interaction entre musulmans et non musulmans, la question de comment se construisent les communautés musulmanes d’Europe? En bref, il a ete tenu compte de la diversite des realites nationales des Musulmans europeens, de la problematique de l’ethnicite versus religion, sans oublier le defi communautaire lie a la marginalite sociale comme celui de l’innovation theologique. D’autres travaux sur la Grece et l’Europe, la mahalla en Ouzbekistan, le pouvoir iranien, completent la trame de cette livraison.

Democracy and Ethnicity in Turkey; Secularism and Religion in Iran; 
Democratization and Emerging Market Economies in Central Asia; the 
Eurasian Question in Turkey and in Russia, the Future of East Turkistan 
(Sinkiang); the Ottoman heritage in the Balkans; Security in the Eastern 
Mediterranean; Pipeline politics around Caspian Sea; Natural gas politics 
in Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, the Azeri-Armenian conflict; the illicit 
drug trade - all these issues dominate today's headlines.
But where does a reader turn to for timely, accurate analyses of these 
and other issues emanating from Turkey, Cyprus, Iran, the Caucasus and 
Central Asia?
Often what little available literature that exists in these regions and 
issues tends to be too general, too dated, or too specialized.
To meet the urgent need for accurate, up-to-date analyses of events 
in Eurasia, the French Association of the Eastern Mediterranean and 
the Turko-Persian World (AFEMOTI, Paris) has been publishing Cahiers 
d'etudes sur la Mediterranee orientale et le monde turco-iranien (CEMOTI) 
bi-annually for the last 15 years.
In fact, CEMOTI has proven so popular that of the 31 issues (on average 
containing over three hundred pages each) published to date, stocks of 
the first 24 have already run out due to overwhelming demand !
Supported by The Centre of International Researches and Studies (CERI, 
Centre d'études et de recherches internationales) part of the French 
Foundation of Political Science (FNSP, Fondation nationale des sciences 
politiques), the National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS, Centre 
national de la recherche scientifique), and the The Book National Centre 
(Centre national du livre), CEMOTI provides incisive, in-depth coverage by 
leading experts on Eurasia -- from Sarajevo to Kashgar.
One of Europe’s leading publications in this field, CEMOTI has established 
itself as an invaluable source of information and analysis. CEMOTI 's 
wide spectrum of readers varies from academics and policy-makers, to 
journalists, students, and businessmen. Indeed, everyone who seeks to 
understand the changes affecting this vast, resource-rich region.
CEMOTI's contributors are drawn worldwide from a core of regional 
specialists in academic, government, and business circles. CEMOTI often 
invites resident specialists from within the region to share their 
expertise to give its readers a true inside look at the region.
Articles in English from recent issues have included : "Citizenship and 
Individuation in Turkey: the Triumph of Will over Reason" (Ayse Kadioglu); 
"Informal Financial Institutions in the Iranian Bazaar" (Maryam Ghadassi); 
"Internal Colonialism and the Uyghur Nationality: Chinese Nationalism and 
Its Subaltern Subjects" (Dru C. Gladney); "Arabs and Persians: Beyond the 
Geopolitics of the Gulf) (Fred Halliday); "Business Notions of Democracy:

HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH and
HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER at UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY
announce publication of a new book:
"A VILLAGE DESTROYED: War Crimes in Kosovo"

Photos by Gilles Peress
Essay by Eric Stover
Text by Fred Abrahams

The book's website is:
http://www.hrcberkeley.org/avillagedestroyed/avdhome.html
The book can be purchased at: www.ucpress.org or amazon.com

Book Description:
On a warm spring morning in 1999, in the midst of NATO's air campaign against Yugoslavia, Serbian security and paramilitary forces descended on the small village of Cuska, near the western Kosovo city of Pec. Soldiers with painted faces and masks rounded up the population and forced them to assemble in
the center of the village. The women, children, and elderly were separated from any men who had not managed to flee. The villagers were threatened and robbed of their money, jewelry, and identification papers. Twenty-nine men were divided into three groups and taken into three separate houses, where they were sprayed repeatedly with automatic weapons. Each house was then set on fire and left to burn. This
gripping investigative account of the massacre establishes the truth of what happened in Cuska, deepens our understanding of war crimes, and sheds light on the world of paramilitaries who carry out mass killings of civilians in the name of the state. 
The events in Cuska are emblematic of the destruction of hundreds of other villages throughout Kosovo. But in this case there was a difference: in each of the three groups of men there was one survivor who managed to crawl from each of the burning houses. They, and many others present that day, told their
stories to Human Rights Watch, a research and advocacy organization that monitors abuses in more than seventy countries around the world. Fred Abrahams scanned into his laptop photographs of Serbian security forces apparently left behind when they withdrew from Kosovo, and showed them to
victims, who identified the perpetrators. 
With an essay by Eric Stover and a collection of arresting photographs by Gilles Peress of the exile and return of Kosovar Albanians to their homes and villages, this book presents a riveting, multifaceted story of depth and complexity. A final section of "self-portraits" taken by Serbian troops and paramilitaries
sheds light on the world of the serb troops and paramilitaries who overran Kosovo, leaving so much devastation and suffering in their wake.
