Olga Broumas, born and raised in Greece, came to the United States in
1967
through a Fulbright scholarship. In 1972, she won the Yale Younger
Poets
award. She later received Guggenheim, NEA, Witter Bynner and State Arts
fellowships, and published seven collections of poetry and three
translations of the work of Greek Nobel laureate Odysseus Elytis. She
is a
passionate performer, a pioneering educator and a gifted practitioner
of
the healing arts. Currently a poet-in-residence at Brandeis University
and
the director of the Undergraduate Honors Writing Program, Broumas
resides
in Cape Cod.

Jeffrey Eugenides is the author of Virgin Suicides which has been
translated into 13 languages, including Greek. His fiction has appeared
in
The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The Yale Review, and Granta. He is
the
recipient of many awards, including fellowships from the Guggenheim
Foundation, NEA, a Whiting Writers' Award and the Henry D. Vursell
Award
from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Eugenides teaches at
Princeton University and lives in New York City with his wife and
daughter.

Dario Fo's name is synonymous with anarchic political comedy. His best
known plays in English include "Accidental Death of An Anarchist,"
"Can't
Pay, Won't Pay," "Trumpets and Raspberries," and "The Pope and the
Witch."
Fo, often in collaboration with his wife Franca Rame, has held the
field in
political satire in Europe. Outside Italy, his comedies are often
adapted
to reflect local political conditions. He was awarded the Nobel Prize
for
Literature in 1997.

Christopher Hitchens is a regular contributor to Harper's, Vanity Fair,
The
Nation, The Times Literary Supplement, and The London Review of Books.
His
books include Hostage to History: Cyprus from the Ottomans to
Kissinger,
Prepared for the Worst, Imperial Spoils: The Curious Case of the
Parthenon
Marbles, and The Monarchy: A Critique of Britain's Favorite Fetish. His
book, No One Left to Lie To: The Triangulation of William Jefferson
Clinton, was recently published by Verso. A 1970 graduate of Oxford,
Hitchens resides in Washington, DC with his wife and daughter.

Kerin Hope, born in the UK, grew up in Australia and Ireland. She
studied
the classics, drama and archaeology at Bristol and Oxford universities,
and
took part in excavations in Greece. Hope has worked for United Press
International in Athens and London, and for the Associated Press (AP)
in
Athens and Nicosia. While an AP reporter, she also worked in Turkey,
Lebanon, Syria and Libya. Currently, she covers Greece, Cyprus and the
south Balkans for The Financial Times and The Economist.

Edmund Keeley studied at Princeton and Oxford universities. He is
currently
a professor of English, emeritus, at Princeton, where he taught for 40
years and served as director of the creative writing program and the
Program in Hellenic Studies. He is the author of seven novels, 14
volumes
of poetry in translation, and nine volumes of nonfiction. Keeley's
awards
include the Rome Prize for fiction of the American Academy of Arts and
Letters, two Guggenheim fellowships, the Landon Translation Award of
the
Academy of American Poets and the first European Prize for Translation
of
the European Union. Inventing Paradise: The Greek Journey, 1937-1947,
will
be published next month.

Marcia Christoff Kurop, a graduate of Columbia University, has
contributed
articles to The Wall Street Journal, The International Herald Tribune,
The
Economist and The Christian Science Monitor. Based in Sofia, she has
covered the Balkan countries since 1993. In Athens, Kurop is at work on
a
book concerning the history of U.S. policy towards Greece, Turkey and
Cyprus since the end of the Cold War.

Patrick Quinn, a reporter for the Associated Press, has covered Greece,
Turkey and the Balkan region for more than 10 years. Based in Athens,
Quinn
has covered most wars and conflicts that broke out in the region
following
the dissolution of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. He has also traveled
extensively in Turkey and Albania, first visiting the latter before the
fall of Communism and on through the armed uprising in 1997. Quinn also
reported on the region from the Boston area in the mid-1980s.

Helena Smith, a reporter for The Guardian and The Observer, has studied
modern Greek and philosophy at King's College, London University. A
regular
correspondent for BBC, CBS Radio (New York), RFI (Paris) and RTE
(Dublin),
Smith also worked for the Associated Press, Daily Express, New
Statesman
and Society, the European, Conde Nast Traveler, and Wall Street Journal
Special Reports.

Patricia Storace is the author of Heredity, a book of poems, and Dinner
with Persephone, a travel memoir of Greece. She is the recipient of a
poetry prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. A frequent
contributor to The New York Times Book Review and Conde Nast Traveler,
Storace lives in New York City.

Barry Unsworth is the author of 12 novels, including Sacred Hunger,
winner
of the 1992 Booker Prize. Two of his novels, Pascali's Island and
Morality
Play, were shortlisted for this prize and the former served as a basis
for
a feature film with the same title. Losing Nelson, his latest novel, is
due
out later this year. He has held literary residencies at the
universities
of Durham, Newcastle and Liverpool in Britain and Lund in Sweden. He
has an
honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester, where he
graduated
and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

Dear all,

I am currently working on a paper dealing with the causes of the
demonstrations in Kosova in 1981, especially on the role of underground
groups.

I have found various sources for this topic, but I am curious to know if
anyone on this list recommends any specific sources. Especially on the
underground movements, since I am lacking any significant information about
them, i.e. who they were, when they emerged, what their goals were, etc.

Any help is appreciated.

Dear Besnik:

I'm working for my Ph.D. in political science. The subject of my
research is "Democratization and Statehood in the USSR and former
Yugoslavia". The question you mention is also important for me, as the
first serious political crisis in post-Tito Yugoslavia.

Could you suggest me some relevant literature on that issue?

          ** ALST-L - Albanian Studies Discussion List **

Dear Mr. Palacios,

I have found many interesting articles dealing with the events in Kosova in
1981, the preceding and subsequent developments.

Here are several of them:

Patrick F. R. Artisien and R. A. Howells, "Yugoslavia, Albania and the
Kosovo riots," The World Today, Vol. 37, No. 11, Nov 1981, pp. 419-427.

Elez Biberaj, "Albanian-Yugoslav Relations and the Question of Kosov?,"
East European Quarterly, Vol. 16, No. 4, Jan 1983, pp. 485-510.

Dennison I. Rusinow, The Other Albania: Kosovo 1979 (Hanover, NH: American
Universities Field Staff, 1980).

Mark Baskin, "Crisis in Kosovo," Problems of Communism, Vol. 32, Mar-Apr
1983, pp. 61-74.

Elez Biberaj, "The Conflict in Kosovo," Survey, Vol. 28, Autumn 1984, pp.
39-57.

Pedro Ramet, "Problems of Albanian Nationalism in Yugoslavia," Orbis,
Summer 1981, pp. 369-388.

For official Yugoslav views on Kosova (and some useful economic statistics)
you could check out issues of the journal Socialist Thought and Practice
(published in Belgrade) of the years 1976, 1981, 1983, and 1984.

There are also lots of native publications on the question as well. One
book that I would recommend is:

Branko Horvat, Kosovsko pitanje (Zagreb: Globus, 1989).

Per ata qe lexojne me lehte ne anglisht -

Dear student friends,

We have all heard for the military operations and the refugee crisis in
Kosova.  Once again the Albanian nation finds itself in a historic
crossroads where its destiny will be determined.  In this difficult
moment
for our nation, together with a group of Albanian students from Boston,
we
are undertaking the organization of the Association of the Albanians
Students of Massachusetts.

We intend to organize various activities related to Albania and the
Albanians.  These activities will include the following -

-	the beginning of massive discussions about new developments in
Albania and Kosova and the determination of the optimal goals for the
Albanian nation in this situation,
-	lobbying US and international institutions in favor of solving
the
problems of the Albanian nation,
-	raising and sending humanitarian aid in Albania and Kosova,
-	talks and seminars aimed at publicizing the history of the
Albanian nation and also at making the US public increasingly aware of
our
history, situation, and problems.

If you are interested in participating in these activities, we, the
organizers, welcome you to the organizational meeting for the Association
of the Albanian Students of Massachusetts.  The meeting is scheduled for
Thursday, April 29th, 1999, at 7PM and will take place on the second
floor
of Anthony's Pier 4, 140 Northern Avenue, in Boston.  For more
information, contact Asti Pilika at (617) 493-2208.

Welcome!
