Blood of Others: Stalin's Crimean Atrocity and the Poetics of Solidarity (U Toronto Press, 2022) offers a cultural history of Crimea and the Black Sea region, one of Europe’s most volatile flashpoints, by chronicling the aftermath of Stalin’s 1944 deportation of the Crimean Tatars in four different literary traditions.
In the spring of 1944, Stalin deported the Crimean Tatars, a small Sunni Muslim nation, from their ancestral homeland on the Black Sea peninsula. The gravity of this event, which ultimately claimed the lives of tens of thousands of victims, was shrouded in secrecy after the Second World War. What broke the silence in Soviet Russia, Soviet Ukraine, and the Republic of Turkey were works of literature. These texts of poetry and prose – some passed hand-to-hand underground, others published to controversy – shocked the conscience of readers and sought to move them to action.
Blood of Others presents these works as vivid evidence of literature’s power to lift our moral horizons. In bringing these remarkable texts to light and contextualizing them among Russian, Turkish, and Ukrainian representations of Crimea from 1783, Rory Finnin provides an innovative cultural history of the Black Sea region. He reveals how a "poetics of solidarity" promoted empathy and support for an oppressed people through complex provocations of guilt rather than shame.
Forging new roads between Slavic studies and Middle Eastern studies, Blood of Others is a compelling and timely exploration of the ideas and identities coursing between Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine – three countries determining the fate of a volatile and geopolitically pivotal part of our world.

We're talking about the promise President Biden made to Israel as it prepares for a ground war.
Also, one controversial congressman is facing new criminal charges while his colleagues vote on a new speaker today.
Plus, we're talking about how scientists are working to create super chickens, why another state decided to sue TikTok, and what your chances are of winning a historic lottery jackpot.
You and I both know this. The supply chain is super messed up. The way humans make clothing is deeply messed up. So should we just make garments made of human hair?
Author Elizabeth Rush went to the end of the earth to find the answers to her questions about climate change. In her new book “The Quickening,” Rush recounts her journey to the Thwaites Glacier, known as the Doomsday Iceberg, and what she learned about herself and finding community in a melting world. She joins Andy to discuss how storytelling can encourage change in people, why she decided it is worthwhile to have children even with the world heating up around us, and how she found hope in the beauty around her.
