This is the true story of John Eric Aslin, a member of the Ojibwe Nation, who is the longest-serving non-violent offender in the Michigan penal system. John experienced a harrowing childhood in Flint, Michigan that started him on a troubling path as he grew into an adult. After causing an accidental death, his crime was elevated to murder through an expansion of Michigan's Felony Murder statute. John Aslin was convicted and sentenced to life in prison at the age of 21. John was already incarcerated when he met his father for the first time and learned that he was Ojibwe. He later discovered details about his father's tragic childhood--his father was held captive and mistreated by the State of Michigan from the age of four and throughout his childhood simply because of his Ojibwe heritage. John Aslin has been incarcerated for 36 years. This book tells his personal and family histories in a nonfiction novel format in the tradition of "In Cold Blood."

In the years between 1848 and 1918, the Habsburg Empire was an intensely pluricultural space that brought together numerous “nationalities” under constantly changing – and contested – linguistic regimes. The multifaceted forms of translation and interpreting, marked by national struggles and extensive multilingualism, played a crucial role in constructing cultures within the Habsburg space. This book traces translation and interpreting practices in the Empire’s administration, courts and diplomatic service, and takes account of the “habitualized” translation carried out in everyday life. It then details the flows of translation among the Habsburg crownlands and between these and other European languages, with a special focus on Italian–German exchange. Applying a broad concept of “cultural translation” and working with sociological tools, the book addresses the mechanisms by which translation and interpreting constructs cultures, and delineates a model of the Habsburg Monarchy’s “pluricultural space of communication” that is also applicable to other multilingual settings.
