Palestinians Born in Exile
In the decade following the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords, some 100,000 diasporic Palestinians returned to the West Bank and Gaza. Among them were children and young adults who were born in exile and whose sense of Palestinian identity was shaped not by lived experience but rather through the transmission and re-creation of memories, images, and history. As a result, "returning" to the homeland that had never actually been their home presented challenges and disappointments for these young Palestinians, who found their lifeways and values sometimes at odds with those of their new neighbors in the West Bank and Gaza. This original ethnography records the experiences of Palestinians born in exile wh...
Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World
This groundbreaking history connects Nazi Germany’s Arabic-language propaganda during World War II to anti-Semitism in the Middle East in the decades since. Jeffrey Herf, a leading scholar in the field, offers the most extensive examination to date of Nazi propaganda activities targeting Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East during World War II and the Holocaust. He draws extensively on previously unused and little-known archival resources, including the shocking transcriptions of the “Axis Broadcasts in Arabic” radio programs, which convey a strongly anti-Semitic message. Herf explores the intellectual, political, and cultural context in which German and European radical anti-Semitism ...
Europe, Globalization, and the Coming of the Universal Caliphate
Europe, Globalization, and the Coming Universal Caliphate analyzes the modern political trends and strategies that are leading to major changes in Western civilization, America included, since the OIC strategy targets America also. Learning from theEuropean experience is crucial for Americans. Moreover this evolution is inscribed in the historical movement of Islamic theology and expansionism. It is not fortuitous but it has its own theological and political structure that must be known in the Westif we wish to live in a peaceful world.
Machtfaktor auch ohne Machtbasis?
Der Verfasser dieser Zeilen hatte bei der Erstellung der vorliegenden Untersuchung das Glück, sich mit mehreren seiner bevorzugten Interessengebiete intensiv auseinandersetzen zu können: Von den bayerisch-böhmischen Beziehungen in historischer Perspektive über die deutsche Verbände- und Parteienlandschaft bis hin zur CSU als spezielles Forschun- objekt reicht die Spannbreite dieser Studie, die einen innen- wie außenpolitischen Bezug aufweist. Der Ausgangspunkt und Ursprung, welcher schließlich zu vorliegender D- sertation führte, liegt einige Jahre zurück und lässt sich auf eine einfache Fragestellung reduzieren, die dem Autor bereits während des Studiums ins Auge sprang: Wieso is...
American Cinematographers in the Great War, 1914–1918
A history of American cameramen covering the news of World War I, from the dangerous front line and the risk of execution to red tape and censorship. At the start of hostilities in World War I, when the United States was still neutral, American newsreel companies and newspapers sent a new kind of journalist, the film correspondent, to Europe to record the Great War. These pioneering cameramen, accustomed to carrying the Kodaks and Graflexes of still photography, had to lug cumbersome equipment into the trenches. Facing dangerous conditions on the front, they also risked summary execution as supposed spies while navigating military red tape, censorship, and the business interests of the film ...
Politische Führung in westlichen Regierungssystemen
Explorative Studien weisen seit langem darauf hin, dass die Führungsstile von Regierungschefs im internationalen Vergleich deutlich variieren. Dieser Sammelband geht diesem Sachverhalt genauer auf den Grund und zeigt Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede politischer Führungsmuster in komparativer Perspektive auf. In elf Fallstudien werden die Führungsstile in parlamentarischen und präsidentiellen Regierungssystemen, in föderalen und einheitsstaatlichen Ordnungen sowie in etablierten Demokratien und Transformationsstaaten dargestellt. Beiträge zum Stand der interdisziplinären Führungsforschung erschließen zudem den nötigen theoretischen Rahmen, um die Ergebnisse zu erklären.
Christians and Missionaries in India
The assumption that Christianity in India is nothing more than a European, western, or colonial imposition is open to challenge. Those who now think and write about India are often not aware that Christianity is a non-western religion, that in India this has always been so, and that there are now more Christians in Africa and Asia than in the West. Recognizing that more understanding of the separate histories and cultures of the many Christian communities in India will be needed before a truly comprehensive history of Christianity in India can be written, this volume addresses particular aspects of cultural contact, with special reference to caste, conversion, and colonialism. Subjects addressed range from Sanskrit grammar to populist Pentecostalism, Urdu polemics and Tamil poetry.
