National Subjects: Ethnic identity training in Bosnia and Herzegovina begins in the classroom. From New Left Project, a review of books on the myths of multiculturalism. Who's afraid of Germany's new neo-Nazi underground? An interview with Jonathan Laurence, author of The Emancipation of Europe’s Muslims.
