Values and value change in the post-migrant society
This anthology deals with changes in values, norms, and attitudes in our society, which is increasingly characterized by cultural diversity. Embedded in the current debate about a "post-migrant society", the contributions present findings that have emerged within the framework of various research projects of the BMBF funding line "Migration and Social Change". They deal with differences and similarities regarding the values and norms of people with and without a migratory background, the connections between values and integration mechanisms, and many more. The contributions focus on values and norms concerning family, gender relations, education, and religion. The English translation of this book, originally in German, was facilitated by artificial intelligence. The content was later revised by the authors for accuracy.
Migration - Networks - Skills
Migration, networks, skills: these keywords not only denote three popular and important fields of current investigation in social sciences and cultural studies, they also mark the wide range of interests of cultural and social anthropologist Waltraud Kokot, who is to be honored in this Festschrift. Internationally distinguished scholars from five European countries and various academic disciplines present their most recent research findings on topics such as diaspora and migration studies, urban anthropology, tolerance, and the anthropology of crafts, all of which are connected by the common themes of mobility and transformation.
Waterfront Culture and Community in Transition
Hafen und Hafenstadte waren und sind aufgrund globaler Transformationsprozesse fundamentalen Umstrukturierungen ausgesetzt und haben die Aufmerksamkeit wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen geweckt. Die ethnografische Studie untersucht die Dubliner Docklands. Zentrale Akteure sind die Dockland-Gemeinden, die bis in die 1960er Jahre von der Hafenwirtschaft abhangig waren und sich bis heute mit der Geschichte und Kultur des Hafens identifizieren. Die Autorin untersucht den Einfluss struktureller Veranderungen auf die Kultur und Sozialorganisation der Bewohner und zeigt, welche Strategien sie entwickelt haben, um ihre Interessen im Hinblick auf Traditionen, Wahrnehmungs- und Aneignungspraktiken urbaner Raume durchzusetzen.
Cultural Contrasts in Dublin
Up to the 1990s, Dublin and Irish urban cultures had only been marginally studied by cultural and social anthropologists, even though the Greater Dublin Area has been home to almost one third of the Republic's population for several decades. From this time anthropologists slowly became aware of the variety of cultural groups and topics which shape Ireland's capital. This growing awareness went hand in hand with the major economic, architectural, social and cultural changes which Dublin was experiencing. Sparked by Ireland's membership of the EU (then EEC) and accelerated by the Celtic Tiger economy and increasing numbers of immigrants, the city has turned into a multicultural space of a variety unprecedented before. The articles in this book are based on a student research project in Dublin in 2006, presenting four ethnographic case studies ranging from immigration and the formation of new religious groups to survival strategies of the urban homeless.
The Dublin Docker
As a port city, Dublin owes much to the labourers who strove against the heavy-duty tide of imports and exports; a league of thousands who were hired on a day-to-day basis for generations, defining the bustle of Dublin city centre – a cornerstone of the urban industrial working class in Ireland. The Dublin Docker is a sumptuously illustrated history that determines the dockers’ and stevedores’ importance as an industrial subculture within the Dublin that they navigated. The authors excavated the archive of the Dublin Dockworkers Preservation Society to discover a wealth of photographs, spanning the mid-nineteenth century to the 1970s, that capture the dockers’ arduous labour and the ...
Kashmir in the Aftermath of Partition
Kashmir remains one of the world's most militarized areas of dispute, having been in the grips of an armed insurgency against India since the late 1980s. In existing scholarship, ideas of territoriality, state sovereignty, and national security have dominated the discourses on the Kashmir conflict. This book, in contrast, places Kashmir and Kashmiris at the center of historical debate and investigates a broad range of sources to illuminate a century of political players and social structures on both sides of divided Kashmir and in the wider Kashmiri diaspora. In the process, it broadens the contours of Kashmir's postcolonial and resistance history, complicates the meaning of Kashmiri identity, and reveals Kashmiris' myriad imaginings of freedom. It asserts that 'Kashmir' has emerged as a political imaginary in postcolonial era, a vision that grounds Kashmiris in their negotiations for rights not only in India and Pakistan, but also in global political spaces.
Diaspora, Identity and Religion
Examines the development of the concept of diaspora and new perspectives on global networks and local identities. Features case histories on the Caribbean, Irish, Irish-American, Armenian, African and Greek diasporas.
Transforming Urban Waterfronts
The collection engages with major theoretical debates and empirical findings on how waterfronts transform and have been transformed in port-cities in North and South America, Europe, and the Caribbean. It brings together authors from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds to tackle vital questions of waterfront development.

It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations, thanks to a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The histories of East and West Germany traditionally emphasize the Cold War rivalries between the communist and capitalist nations. Yet, even as the countries diverged in their political directions, they had to create new ways of working together economically. In Designing One Nation, Katrin Schreiter examines the material culture of increasing economic contacts in divided Germany from the 1940s until the...
