This morning’s email announcement from signandsite<\/span> points to three informative pieces translated into English and published originally in various German-language papers. A rich trove of intelligent journalism that takes you from Chechnya to Turkey to India. Enjoy.<\/p>\n

A bridge to Chechnya<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

One fifth of the population of Chechnya has died in the war there. The
West has played deaf. Studies Without Borders is the initiative of a
few French students to bring Chechen students to Europe to study. A
drop of hope in an ocean of indifference. By Andre and Raphael
Glucksmann.<\/p>\n

Modern and mythless: Turkey today<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The country is like a prefabricated building on historic land. With
Turkey’s opening to the West, the question is: What is supplanting the
Islamic mysticism which, for centuries, provided the inspiration for
that country’s music and literature? By Zafer Senocak<\/p>\n

Farewell to spice and curry<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Once relegated to the minor leagues of the “developing world”, India
is now rising to the status of a leading power – and not only
technologically and economically. Its ongoing social revolution is
reflected in the literary realm as well. Claudia Kramatschek
introduces a new generation of writers, a far cry from the country’s
senior cultural ambassadors of yesteryear.<\/div>\n
