LeftEast: An Open Letter to the International Community regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina

[Rossen Djagalov]

Friends and colleagues,

Please, forgive the somewhat grandiose subject line, but that's the actual title of the letter published on the pages LeftEast,
signed by 130 academics and calling on the international community to support the protests in Bosnia and Herzegovina:
http://www.criticatac.ro/lefteast/an-open-letter-international-community-in-bosnia. 

In addition to sharing this letter with you, let me take also this opportunity to introduce LeftEast, a year-old, online, English-language platform devoted to the postsocialist world, broadly understood, and particularly to new social movements emerging there: http://www.criticatac.ro/lefteast. Because our networks extend to academic and activist circles  in most Eastern European countries, we are usually able to produce coverage and analysis of processes that goes deeper and offers greater nuance than the standard fare available in most Western media. While Eastern Europe remains the core of our geographical interest, we are also increasingly interested in other peripheral capitalist societies, which not only offer productive comparisons but also allow us to break out of the Cold War's intellectual division of labor. Of the platform's orientation, you can judge by its name. We publish texts of different length and format: most commonly, articles, but also open letters, manifestos, etc.. While most are written for us in English, we also translate important texts from Russian, B/C/S, and other languages so that they become available to a wider, international audience. All go through an editorial process that's meant to be quick and maximally helpful to the author. We would be delighted should any of you decide to contribute an original text or a translation.

With the best of wishes,
Rossen
