Ethnic Cleansing
"Ethnic Cleansing" has become one of the key terms of the fin-de-siècle. In the former territory of Yugoslavia, along the fringes of the old Soviet Empire, and in Africa, whole populations are being murdered or forced from lands they have lived on for centuries. Andrew Bell-Fialkoff explains the history of this obscene practice, tracing it from antiquity to the present and showing how, in different times and places, the most varied criteria have been used to isolate and destroy previously accepted or even completely unnoticed groups. "Cleansing" has been based on race, gender, class, sexual preference, and religion and has been a constant evil in world history. The need to understand its reemergence in the wake of communism's collapse is at the center of this important book.
Annihilation

"Volkstumskampf" ohne Ende?
Das sudetendeutsche Organisationswesen in den westlichen Besatzungszonen bzw. der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zwischen 1945 und 1955 wird in diesem Buch multiperspektivisch behandelt. Es bezweckt eine Neubewertung der deutsch-tschechischen Beziehungen jenseits von überkommenen «Volksgruppen»-Vorstellungen. Zentral steht in der Arbeit die Frage der Kontinuität: Das sudetendeutsche Verbandsspektrum der Nachkriegszeit war kein Produkt von «Flucht und Vertreibung», sondern setzte zumeist fort, was bereits vor 1945 im sudetendeutschen Milieu angelegt war. Die Studie geht davon aus, dass die Sudetendeutschen nicht identisch sind mit der deutschen Minderheit in der Tschechoslowakei, sondern nur deren «völkisches» Spektrum repräsentierten, das sich nach 1945 in einem neuen Umfeld konstituierte.
