Ulrich Menzel “The Order of the World”
Voluntary cooperation between countries through agreements, participation in international bodies and the rules of international law often face obstacles.
Ulrich Menzel develops a theory of international order based on a comparative analysis of great powers - from China's Song Dynasty to contemporary America.
At the same time, he provides an interpretation of the Cold War as a conflict shaped by China, the dominant challenger at the beginning of the 21st century.
The order of the world is one of the major problems confronting states.
Who will ensure order in the “anarchy of the world of states” when, as a result of globalization, relationships between states become ever closer and the need for international order grows?

Maya Angelou “With Every Beat of Our Wings”
Maya Angelou describes from first-hand experience the historical defeats and brutality that an inhumane system can inflict.
As a civil rights activist, she has experienced what it means to be oppressed several times.
It is James Baldwin who reminds her of the meaning, purpose, power and beauty of words and asks her to write it all down.
In “Every Beat of Our Wings Comes Full Circle,” Maya Angelou remembers the victims on the path to justice.
She testifies to the African American community's drive for survival and praises language as a source of salvation.
An offer from Malcolm X lures her back to her homeland in the mid-sixties.
Maya Angelou is said to work side by side with the black civil rights activist.
Her four years in Ghana come to an end, just like the attempts to find reconciliation on the African continent.
What now begins is the open fight against racism in the United States, with far too many victims: Malcolm X is shot, riots in the Watts district in the south of Los Angeles cost the lives of numerous black people, Martin Luther King dies in an assassination attempt …

Manfred Krug “I don’t fit into this world”
Manfred Krug's diaries from the years 2000-2003 are an expression of the powerful language that characterized him during his lifetime.
Der Spiegel
describes his memories as “a portrait of morals from the end of the 20th century”.
The new edition of the diaries, edited by Krista Maria Schädlich, casts an interesting picture of the entertainer and writer, who was one of the most important artists in the GDR until he moved there in 1977.
