Greenland’s Stolen Indigenous Children
In this book, author Helene Thiesen recounts her experience of being removed from her family in Greenland as a young Inuk child, to be ‘re-educated’ in Denmark and an orphanage in Greenland. The practice of forcible assimilation of Indigenous children into colonial societies through ‘education’ has echoes in North America and Australasia, and the painful legacy of these practices remains under-acknowledged. In this poignant book, Helene recounts in detail the process of being taken from her family in 1951, aged seven, along with twenty-one other children, in the attempt to re-make them into ‘model Danish citizens’, in a social ‘experiment’ led by the Danish government and Sav...

I den bedste mening
I 1951 blev 22 grønlandske børn skilt fra deres familier og sendt til Danmark i familiepleje. De skulle påvirkes med dansk sprog og kultur, så de kunne blive spydspidser i den nye velfærdsstat, Grønland. Ved hjemkomsten fik børnene et chok: De havde glemt deres modersmål og var afskåret fra at tale med deres familier. Og i stedet for at vende tilbage til deres hjem, blev de indlogeret på Dansk Røde Kors’ nyoprettede børnehjem i Nuuk. Her indledte de nu en tilværelse som en lille, rodløs og marginaliseret gruppe i periferien af deres eget samfund. Hvert af disse børn lever nu med dybe ar på sjælen. Tine Bryld opsøgte de tidligere børnehjemsbørn og deres familier og lader dem fortælle deres personlige og dramatiske historier om ensomhed, identitetsproblemer og det at befinde sig på skellet mellem to kulturer – om konsekvenserne ved at være en del af et socialt eksperiment. Bogen er rigt illustreret med både arkivfotos og Per Folkvers fotos af de 22 grønlændere. Den udkom første gang i 1998.
Bolivia and the Making of the Global Indigenous Movement
This book investigates how western anthropological trends, development discourse and transnational activism came to create and define the global indigenous movement. Using Bolivia as a case study, the author demonstrates through a historical research, how international ideas of what it means and does not mean to be indigenous have played out at the national level. Tracing these trends from pre-revolutionary Bolivia, the Inter-American indigenismo in the 1940s up to Evo Morales’ downfall, the book reflects on Bolivia’s national-level policy discourse and constitutional changes, but also asks to what extent these principles have been transmitted to the country’s grassroots organisations ...
The Shaping of Greenland’s Resource Spaces
The book examines ideas about the making and shaping of Greenland’s society, environment, and resource spaces. It discusses how Greenland’s resources have been extracted at different points in its history, shows how acquiring knowledge of subsurface environments has been crucial for matters of securitisation, and explores how the country is being imagined as an emerging frontier with vast mineral reserves. The book delves into the history and contemporary practice of geological exploration and considers the politics and corporate activities that frame discussion about extractive industries and resource zones. It touches upon resource policies, the nature of social and environmental asses...
Status Power
This book examines recent developments in Japanese-Korean relations. Its aim is to show how "soft" issues like history consciousness or national identity have an impact on concrete policy decisions including security or economic matters which are traditionally considered more substantial foeign policy issues. The author develops the concept of status as based on either prestige of on a positive reputation, or moral authority. Cases studies illustrate the mechanisms in which status power is used for other ends, also in the policy areas of economy and security.
Christian Democratic Workers and the Forging of German Democracy, 1920–1980
Why has democracy flourished in the Federal Republic of Germany despite that country's troubled past? Exhaustive research in German historical archives illuminates the pivotal role played by the veterans of the Christian trade unions of the Weimar Republic, the only group to participate in both of Germany's most successful political experiments after 1945, a 'Christian Democratic' party to unite Catholics and Protestants, and unified labor unions for workers of all political outlooks. They perceived that feuds between the religious confessions and competition among three rival labor federations had greatly facilitated Hitler's rise, and they resolved to bridge both chasms. Playing an influential role on the left wing of the CDU from the 1950s to the 1970s, Christian laborites alleviated class conflict through new welfare programs and laws to grant workers a powerful voice in management decisions. They took the lead in forging the distinctive 'German Model' for labor relations.
The Battle for the Catholic Past in Germany, 1945–1980
Were Pope Pius XII and the Catholic Church in Germany unduly singled out after 1945 for their conduct during the National Socialist era? Mark Edward Ruff explores the bitter controversies that broke out in the Federal Republic of Germany from 1945 to 1980 over the Catholic Church's relationship to the Nazis. He explores why these cultural wars consumed such energy, dominated headlines, triggered lawsuits and required the intervention of foreign ministries. He argues that the controversies over the church's relationship to National Socialism were frequently surrogates for conflicts over how the church was to position itself in modern society - in politics, international relations and the media. More often than not, these exchanges centered on problems perceived as arising from the postwar political ascendancy of Roman Catholics and the integration of Catholic citizens into the societal mainstream.
Børneloven
Med vedtagelsen af landets første børnelov i 1905 trådte myndighederne for alvor ind bag hjemmets fire vægge og gjorde børneopdragelse til et statsligt anliggende i sager, hvor fordrukne eller fraværende forældre slog eller ikke slog til. Det offentlige rykkede ind på de kristne filantropers og hattedamernes enemærker og har siden skabt store forandringer på børnehjem og hos plejefamilier. De politiske intentioner har været de bedste, men virkeligheden har til tider vist sig ond og grusom. Børneforsorgens historie spænder vidt – fra børnenes ven, Peter Sabroe, der for 100 år siden ”kidnappede” børn for at redde dem fra misrøgt og mishandling, til børnenes statsminister, der i 2019 sagde officielt undskyld til Godhavnsdrengene. Tag Cecilie Bjerre fra SDU i hånden, når hun fortæller om forholdet mellem stat, børn og familie gennem tiden.
