Arab Autumn

Sigurd Falkenberg Mikkelsen

’I think that all of us who have lived around the Eastern Mediterranean in recent years have all had a moment of understanding when we recognise that it is finished, that hope has disappeared for now and that what lies ahead is darkness.’ Sigurd Falkenberg Mikkelsen has been Norwegian Broadcasting’s Middle Eastern Correspondent for the past five years, covering the region from the Arab Spring right through to today’s migration crisis. The correspondent’s letters are documentary testimony of this period, filled with descriptions of hope and faith, life and death. They are personal letters, coloured both by the violent events he witnessed and by the experiences of his own journey, which began when they moved to Cairo as a family of three in 2011 and ended when they returned home as a family of four in 2016. This is not only a comprehensive, objective overview of this important and unsettled period in the history of the Middle East and North Africa; it is also a subjective glimpse into Mikkelsen’s experiences during this time.

Ruled by banality

Christian Borch

With Banalitetens tyranni, Christian Borch has completed a series of three books, pointing out various developing trends in Norway and Europe. His first book, Salig velstand, considered the ideals which characterise our time. The second, Sannhetens kår, was an investigation into how neo-capitalism and its philosophy have made inroads into media and politics. Now Borch zooms his perspective out and sets to work with his sharp pen on the major lines of development. He follows through from Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Kåre Willoch and the liberation of market forces in the 1980’s, right to today’s Euro-crisis. This has created economic growth, boosted employment and stimulated development. It has accelerated social and economic changes in poor countries. However, it has also led to the balance between financial power and democratic society becoming grossly biased in finance’s favour. It has also created a generation of individualists and egoists. The price of this generation’s recklessness will have to be paid by their children. Banalitetens tyranni is an engaged and very well formulated contribution to the debate about our shared future, from one of the elder statesmen of Norwegian journalism. It is a warning about a distorted social order, but it also carries hope of a new generation with different ideals, immunised against what Borch calls ‘the egocentric materialism which characterised their predecessors’.

Trafficking of Norwegian Girls

Roald Rynning

Much has been written about trafficking of foreign women, but 100 years ago the problem was the opposite. This book considers the stories of the women who were subjected to trafficking, the agents who made money out of them and the organisations that worked hard to stop the trade in women. In America, ’the most dangerous country in the world' with regard to falling into the hands of traffickers, 60,000 women disappeared every year. Many of them were Norwegian, and nobody ever went looking for them.

The Fragile Peace

Hilde Frafjord Johnson

Why do so many peace agreements fail? The treaty between Sudan and South Sudan is a good case study.Hilde Frafjord Johnson, former Special Representative of the UN General Secretary in Sudan, tells the story in her book, Den vanskelige freden. She provides an insight into the peace processto end Africa's longest civil war, which ended with a peace agreement between Sudan and the liberation movement in South Sudan (SPLM) in 2005.Johnson hopes that her book will contribute to the debate about the role both of the international community and of the UN in the task of creating and maintaining peace. 'Hilde Frafjord Johnson deserves praise for writing what is now the third instalment describing her experiences in South Sudan, with important information about a vulnerable state which is struggling to survive. She gives many heart-breaking glimpses of life in South Sudan where people have been waiting a long time for new leadership.'BISTANDSAKTUELT

Lindis Hurum

Lindis Hurum left her job producing the entertainment programme Vil du bli millionær (‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’) to become a field worker with Leger uten grenser (Médecins Sans Frontières, ‘MSF,’ ‘Doctors Without Borders’). She has played an important role in aid work responding to major catastrophes in recent years, including the Earthquake in Tahiti, the disastrous civil war in the Central African Republic, the victims of the Ebola epidemic and boat refugees in the Mediterranean. This book is about making a deliberate life choice to help others. Lindis Hurum writes intimately about how her meeting with people strengthens her belief that it is not a matter of ‘us’ and ‘them,’ but that it could have been herself who needed help. She thinks it is difficult to understand how we can repeatedly accept that people suffer so much. We talk a lot about beastly, cruel and evil abuses, but when she is out working in the field she meets amazing people who are easy to relate to. People who give birth to children, love and marry, just like us.
