· Examples from a broad range of spoken language and literature

Dayton
The Rise, Decline, and Transition of an Industrial CityAdam A. Millsap
The Ohio State University Press, 2019
Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, Millsap’s book explores the economic background of the region made famous by J. D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy. From early twentieth-century optimism, through the Great Depression and post-WWII manufacturing decline, to Dayton now, with its labor-force problems and opioid crisis, Millsap tracks the underlying forces driving the city’s trajectory. Race relations, interstates, suburbanization, climate, crime, geography, and government policies all come into play as Millsap develops a picture of the city, past and present. By examining the past, Millsap proposes a plan for the future, claiming that there is hope for Dayton to thrive again. And if Dayton can rise from its industrial ashes, then perhaps the Rust Belt can shed its stigma and once again become the backbone of American innovation.
Intensive Bulgarian 1
A Textbook and Reference GrammarRonelle Alexander, with the assistance of Olga M. Mladenova
University of Wisconsin Press, 2000
This is the first comprehensive textbook teaching English-speakers to read, write, and speak contemporary Bulgarian. The text is designed to be adaptable for students of varying skill levels and can be taught at a gradual or intensive pace. It is also a much-needed reference grammar of Bulgarian, incorporating the latest research and theories on Bulgarian grammar in accessible layman’s language.
Volume 1 introduces the basic elements of Bulgarian grammar and contains Lessons 1–15, a Bulgarian-English glossary, an English-Bulgarian glossary for beginners, and an appendix of verbal forms. Like many popular language textbooks, the dialogues in Intensive Bulgarian form a continuing dramatic narrative that gradually introduces students to both language and culture. Throughout the text, Bulgarian constructions and phrases are compared with English ones to clarify grammar and idioms.
Lessons include:
o dialogues and sample sentences
o exercises and translation sentences
o basic and supplemental grammar sections
o reading selections
o a glossary for the lesson
o cultural notes.
Together, Volumes 1 and 2 of Intensive Bulgarian provide all the materials necessary for teachers and students to learn lively, modern colloquial Bulgarian, to become familiar with Bulgarian cultural life, and to thoroughly understand Bulgarian grammar. Slavic scholars will also find in Volume 2 both a thorough presentation of the Bulgarian verb system, as traditionally conceived, and a new analysis of this system.

Translation as Resistance
Czech and Ukrainian Historical PerspectivesEdited by Zuzana Štastná, Iryna Odrekhivska, and Stanislav Rubáš
Karolinum Press, 2026
In cultures and communities under pressure, whether from a powerful neighbor or a hegemonic ideology, translation becomes a political act. Shaped by the constraints of the moment, both translations and their paratexts are subject to forces that compromise quality or restrict freedom of expression, even as translators seek to bring home the quality and expressive freedom of their originals. In Translation as Resistance, the role translation has played and continues to play in reframing language and power in Czech and Ukrainian cultures is presented and interrogated by Czech and Ukrainian translators.
