A respected community elder in Baku (the capital city) came up to me and through an interpreter said 'I've never seen her laugh before,'" said the native of Winnipeg. The old gentleman was referring to a local teacher, who [Tanissa Martindale] and her colleagues in RTP had been instructing to be sports coaches, specifically volleyball, in Baku and surrounding regions. The young teacher was finding enormous enjoyment from playing a pickup game of volleyball, explained Martindale. Azerbaijan, a nation with a Turkic and majority-Muslim population, was briefly independent from 1918 to 1920. It regained its independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 As a result of an unresolved conflict with neighboring Armenia, Azerbaijan has lost 16 per cent of its territory and must supp...

The logic of the proverb is clear both to children and to statesmen. Kids know they should wash their hands after going to the bathroom. They also understand why their parents check to make sure they did. Only logic-chopping teenagers and barracks-room lawyers make the argument, "If you really trusted me, you wouldn't check up on me." To which a statesman-like parent would reply, "If I never checked up on you, I would never know how trustworthy you are.

The United States, most members of the European Union and a scattering of other nations were quick to recognize the new nation. They had, in fact, pushed independence as the only viable long-term solution to the Balkans' most sensitive powder keg. In the few days since the declaration of Kosovar freedom, there have been demonstrations in Serbia, threats from Russia (which supports the Serb claim to sovereignty) and rioting, burning and violence by Serbs within Kosovo, all indications that freedom is not yet a fait accompli. Some nations refuse to recognize Kosovo for particular reasons. In a few cases, this is out of fear of Russia's wrath, but in most it is an entirely self-serving reaction that has created some strange bedfellows. Spain has little in common politically with Vietnam; G...

In places it's reminiscent of the literature of Stalinism, as [Dalia Sofer] shows us children used to extract information, class warfare used to justify banditry, the capriciousness of revolutionary justice, family guilt by association and the alternating savagery and reason of [Isaac Amin]'s interrogator. It's also the story of Isaac's wife Farnaz, trying to hold together during Isaac's imprisonment; son Parviz, studying architecture in New York and feeling stranded in Brooklyn's Hassidic Crown Heights neighbourhood; and young daughter Shirin, trying to understand the changes in her mother and her schoolmates. Their dislocated state is captured early during a visit to Isaac's sister and her powerful husband, when Farnaz glances at a tea tray laden with madeleines: "and she thinks, here...
