Antisemitism in the North
Is research on antisemitism even necessary in countries with a relatively small Jewish population? Absolutely, as this volume shows. Compared to other countries, research on antisemitism in the Nordic countries (Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) is marginalized at an institutional and staffing level, especially as far as antisemitism beyond German fascism, the Second World War, and the Holocaust is concerned. Furthermore, compared to scholarship on other prejudices and minority groups, issues concerning Jews and anti-Jewish stereotypes remain relatively underresearched in Scandinavia – even though antisemitic stereotypes have been present and flourishing in the North ever since the arrival of Christianity, and long before the arrival of the first Jewish communities. This volume aims to help bring the study of antisemitism to the fore, from the medieval period to the present day. Contributors from all the Nordic countries describe the status of as well as the challenges and desiderata for the study of antisemitism in their respective countries.
Transforming Gender and Family Relations
This book is about how the activation of women into paid work was accomplished. It looks at the ideational grounds and the concrete measures that created the conditions for increasing the employment ratio of women, and thus also a farewell to male breadwinning.
The Internationalisation of the Labour Question
This edited collection is a global history of workers’ organisations since 1919, the year when the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Comintern and the International Federation of Trade Unions were formed. This historical moment represents a caesura in labour history as it epitomises the beginning of what the editors and the contributors in this book call the internationalisation of the labour question. The case studies in this centenary volume analyse the relationship between global workers’ organisations and the new ideological confrontation between liberal capitalism, socialism and communism since the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Workers’ organisations, trade unions in ...
Migration and Multiculturalism in Scandinavia
Scandinavian societies have historically, and problematically, been understood as homogenous, when in fact they have a long history of ethnic and cultural pluralism due to colonialism and territorial conquest. Amid global tensions around border security and refugee crises, these powerful conversations with nineteen scholars about the past, present, and future of a region in transition capture the current cultural moment.
Making Education: Material School Design and Educational Governance
This book brings together the notions of material school design and educational governance in the first such text to address this critical interrelationship in any depth. In addressing the issue of governance through analysing current and historical material school designs, it looks at the intersection of politics, economics, aesthetics and pedagogical ideas and practices. More specifically, it explores and unfolds educational governance as it is constituted, materialized and transformed in and through material school designs. It does so by studying a range of issues: from the material and aesthetic language of schooling to the design of the built environment, from spatial organization to th...
International Communism and Transnational Solidarity: Radical Networks, Mass Movements and Global Politics, 1919–1939
This book provides an analysis of the articulation and organisation of radical international solidarity by organisations that were either connected to or had been established by the Communist International (Comintern), such as the International Red Aid, the International Workers’ Relief, the League Against Imperialism, the International of Seamen and Harbour Workers and the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers. The guiding light of these organisations was a radical interpretation of international solidarity, usually in combination with concepts and visions of gender, race and class as well as anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism and anti-fascism. All of these...
Da skolen blev alles
Da skolen blev alles. Tiden efter 1970 handler om en periode, hvor lommeregneren og computeren kom ind i timerne, idrAet blev fAelles for drenge og piger, og lilleskolerne fornyede friskoletraditionen. Der kom en ny opmAerksomhed pa elevernes sociale og etniske baggrund og pa deres forskellige udvikling og talenter. Born hverken kunne eller skulle lAere det samme pa samme tid, og elevplaner erstattede skoleskemaet. Ambitionen om at rumme langt de fleste elever inden for folkeskolen voksede sig stAerkere, og omgangstonen blev mere demokratisk. Samtidig blev elevrad og forAeldrevalgte skolebestyrelser en del af skolernes hverdag. Der stod megen blAest om skolen perioden igennem: fra 1970'ernes...

Vedle základních tendencí celostátní i regionální politiky na tomto poli představuje v jednotlivých studiích nejrůznější aspekty dobových fenoménů, jako byly odborové či podnikové rekreace, turistická hnutí, lázeňská léčebná péče nebo chatařství a chalupářství i cizinecký cestovní ruch (včetně zájezdů z opačné strany železné opony).

Over stregen- under besættelsen
Om nogle af de mennesker, som kom i maskinen under efterkrigsopgøret fordi de af den ene eller anden grund klart gik helt over stregen eller blev anbragt over stregen og om hvad deres brølere bestod i, f.eks.: mord, stikkeri, åndeligt medløberi, opportunisme eller nazist af overbevisning.
Forbrugets kulturhistorie
Forbrugets kulturhistorie forfolger forbruget af varer, oplevelser, rum og medier fra enevAeldens tid til i dag. Artiklerne spAender bredt fra udviklingen af smabutikker til nutidens store supermarkeder og fra den eksklusive diligencerejse til middelklassens bilferie. Bogen har blik for, hvordan stormagasiner i det sene 1800-tal gav borgerskabet opskriften pa det gode liv, mens butikkernes spejlglasvinduer forandrede byens rum, skabte de moderne handelsstrAeder og vAekkede begAer hos promenerende forbrugere. Ogsa tv drager, og bogen undersoger 1970'ernes debat om borns forbrug af borne-tv, reklamer og merchandise. For forbrug er ikke blot drommenes holdeplads, men en kulturhistorisk faktor, der former og udvikler vores liv og samfund.
