Baba Rexheb liked corn flakes for breakfast. He would get up early in the morning, pray, and then go down the stairs in his slippers to the basement kitchen of the tekke (a sort of Muslim monastery). In the early years when the tekke had only recently been established by Albanian Muslims in America, the kitchen was a low-ceilinged room with a narrow table, long enough for twenty people to sit at comfortably. The table was covered with red vinyl t…

It notes the problem of dealing only with humanitarian concerns while ignoring…

As early as 1863, the Azeri playwright Ahunzade Mirza Fethali presented a proposal for a Latin orthography for Turkish, before the Cemiyet-i ilmiye-i Osmaniye (Ottoman Society of S…
Women's Voices and Experiences of the Hill-Thomas Hearings

Unlike polls at the time, interviews of 100 Detroit-area women (65 percent white, 35 percent African American) revealed a msyority of strong support for Hill, a default category of support for Thomas, ag…
