Frei.Wild
Frei.Wild provoziert und polarisiert die öffentliche Meinung wie keine andere deutschsprachige Band, aber kaum eine andere ist derzeit auch so erfolgreich. Klaus Farin hat nicht nur die vier Musiker zwei Jahre lang immer wieder getroffen, sie auf Tour begleitet und in Südtirol besucht und interviewt, sondern auch mehr als 4.000 Fans der Band befragt, mit Historikern und Frei.Wild-Kritiker_innen gesprochen. So ist dieses Buch nicht nur eine Band-Biografie geworden, sondern zugleich auch eine der größten Fan-Studien, eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem neu erwachten Regionalismus in Europa und der Wirkung und Bedeutung von Musik, mit Mediendarstellungen und Vorurteilen. Eine Heimatgeschichte der besonderen Art zwischen Rock'n'Roll und Patriotismus, Freiheit und Faschismus, Glaube und Popkultur.
Nationalism and Populism
Nationalism was declared to be dead too early. A postnational age was announced, and liberalism claimed to have been victorious by the end of the Cold War. At the same time postnational order was proclaimed in which transnational alliances like the European Union were supposed to become more important in international relations. But we witnessed the rise a strong nationalism during the early 21st century instead, and right wing parties are able to gain more and more votes in elections that are often characterized by nationalist agendas. This volume shows how nationalist dreams and fears alike determine politics in an age that was supposed to witness a rather peaceful coexistence by those who...
Die Autonomen
Die autonome Szene, die seit den 1970er Jahren als Teil der Anti-Atomkraft-, radikalen Frauen- und Hausbesetzer-Bewegung und schließlich durch ihre antifaschistischen Aktivitäten auf sich aufmerksam macht, steht seit einigen Jahren erneut im Mittelpunkt politischer und medialer Beobachtung. So heißt es im Verfassungsschutzbericht 2009: "Dem Verhalten der Linksextremisten will die Bundesregierung entschlossen entgegentreten. Dabei muss das Augenmerk noch stärker darauf gerichtet werden, die Leitfiguren der Szene zu identifizieren, Kommunikationswege aufzudecken und das daraus erwachsende Gewaltpotenzial perspektivisch zu bewerten." Die im Kern etwa 8-10.000 Menschen umfassende Szene gilt ...
The Guest Worker Question in Postwar Germany
This book provides the first English-language history of the postwar labor migration to West Germany. Drawing on government bulletins, statements by political leaders, parliamentary arguments, industry newsletters, social welfare studies, press coverage, and the cultural production of immigrant artists and intellectuals, Rita Chin offers an account of West German public debate about guest workers. She traces the historical and ideological shifts around the meanings of the labor migration, moving from the concept of guest workers as a "temporary labor supplement" in the 1950s and 1960s to early ideas about "multiculturalism" by the end of the 1980s. She argues that the efforts to come to terms with the permanent residence of guest workers, especially Muslim Turks, forced a major rethinking of German identity, culture, and nation. What began as a policy initiative to fuel the economic miracle ultimately became a much broader discussion about the parameters of a specifically German brand of multiculturalism.
Between the Avant-garde and the Everyday
The wave of anti-authoritarian political activity associated with the term “1968” can by no means be confined under the rubric of “protest,” understood narrowly in terms of street marches and other reactions to state initiatives. Indeed, the actions generated in response to “1968” frequently involved attempts to elaborate resistance within the realm of culture generally, and in the arts in particular. This blurring of the boundary between art and politics was a characteristic development of the political activism of the postwar period. This volume brings together a group of essays concerned with the multifaceted link between culture and politics, highlighting lesser-known case studies and opening new perspectives on the development of anti-authoritarian politics in Europe from the 1950s to the fall of Communism and beyond.
Blackening Europe
Traditional Scholars have often looked at African American studies through the lens of European theories, resulting in the secondarization of the African American presence in Europe and its contributions to European culture. Blackening Europe reverses this pattern by using African American culture as the starting point for a discussion of its influences over traditional European structures. Evidence of Europe's blackening abound, form French ministers of Hip-hop and British incarnations of "Shaft" to slavery memorial in the Netherlands and German youth sporting dreadlocks. Collecting essays by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic and fields as diverse as history, literature, politics, social studies, art, film and music, Blackening Europe explores the implications of these cultural hybrids and extends the growing dialogues about Europe's fascination with African America.
Terror from the Extreme Right
This first volume in a new series comprises nine contributions originally presented at a workshop supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin in August, 1994. Topics range from right-wing violence in North America to the development, patterns, and causes of violence against fore
