A Selected Bibliography of Modern Historiography
Although historiography is a frequently used term, its content is far from unequivocal. For the purposes of this bibliography, Attila Pok defines modern historiography as the history of historical science as it was established at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Thus, this bibliography includes works that discuss the development of historical science since that time to 1990. Its aim is to provide access to the most important works on nineteenth- and twentieth-century historiography. The titles are arranged geographically. Following a section of general titles, sections are devoted to Europe, America, Africa and the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. Within each section, chapters cover individual countries. The volume also includes author and subject indexes.
Hungarians and Their Neighbors in Modern Times, 1867-1950
Focusing on the relationship between Hungarians and their non-Hungarian neighbors in the Carpathian Basin, contemporary Hungarian historians discuss the establishment of self-government in 1867, the effects of the Industrial Revolution and the subsequent rapid socioeconomic and intellectual development of the country, and the devastating effects of the two world wars.
The Holocaust in Hungary
This examination of the Holocaust in Hungary synthesizes the results of a wide range of investigations and evaluates the historical lessons of the Holocaust in one country. The first part contains historical overviews and introductions; the second part discusses historical antecedents in nine studies on historical, political-ideological, cultural, socioeconomic and psychological factors that led to the destruction of Hungarian Jewry. The third part of the book, covering the Holocaust era itself, is comprised of 12 studies on the machinery of destruction. The final part includes 15 essays on the consequences of the Holocaust and on Jewish life in Hungary after the war.
Scapegoats of September 11th
Argues that the "war on terror" is a political charade that delivers illusory comfort, stokes fear, and produces scapegoats used as emotional relief. Drawing on topics such as the Abu Ghraib scandal, Guantanamo Bay, and the controversial Patriot Act, this work looks at the significance of knowledge, language, and emotion in a post-9/11 world.
Understanding and Teaching the Holocaust
Few topics in modern history draw the attention that the Holocaust does. The Shoah has become synonymous with unspeakable atrocity and unbearable suffering. Yet it has also been used to teach tolerance, empathy, resistance, and hope. Understanding and Teaching the Holocaust provides a starting point for teachers in many disciplines to illuminate this crucial event in world history for students. Using a vast array of source materials—from literature and film to survivor testimonies and interviews—the contributors demonstrate how to guide students through these sensitive and painful subjects within their specific historical and social contexts. Each chapter provides pedagogical case studies for teaching content such as antisemitism, resistance and rescue, and the postwar lives of displaced persons. It will transform how students learn about the Holocaust and the circumstances surrounding it.
Jews in the Gym
For some, the connection between Jews and athletics might seem far-fetched. But in fact, as is highlighted by the fourteen chapters in this collection, Jews have been participating in-and thinking about-sports for more than two thousand years. The articles in this volume scan a wide chronological range: from the Hellenistic period (first century BCE) to the most recent basketball season. The range of athletes covered is equally broad: from participants in Roman-style games to wrestlers, boxers, fencers, baseball players, and basketball stars. The authors of these essays, many of whom actively participate in athletics themselves, raise a number of intriguing questions, such as: What differing...
