"And how Do You Like this Country?"
Annotation. These stories by Otti Binswanger, the niece of the German aviator Otto Lilienthal, were written in the 1940s in New Zealand, where they were published originally in 1945. Otti Binswanger had come to New Zealand in 1939 as a refugee from Nazi Germany together with her husband Paul Binswanger, a German-Jewish scholar of Romance Languages. These stories constitute an important and highly original contribution not only to New Zealand literature, but also to the corpus of literature by exiles in the 20th century. In her stories Otti Binswanger creates an authentic, sympathetic, and at the same time critical portrait of the country and its people as she encountered them as an immigrant. They are «inside stories with the eye of an outsider written in the clear and matter-of-fact style of the period. The essay by Livia Käthe Wittmann (Christchurch/NZ) gives an introduction to both the stories as well as to the multi-facetted personality and life of Otti Binswanger.

Jewries at the Frontier
Traversing far flung Jewish communities in South Africa, Australia, Texas, Brazil, China, New Zealand, Quebec, and elsewhere, this wide-ranging collection explores the notion of "frontier" in the Jewish experience as a historical/geographical reality and a conceptual framework. As a compelling alternative to viewing the periphery only as a locus of dispossession and exile from the "homeland, " this work imagines a new Jewish history written as the history of the Jews at the frontier. In this new history, governed by the dynamics of change, confrontation, and accommodation, marginalized experiences are brought to the center and all participants are given voice. By articulating the tension between the center/periphery model and the frontier model, Jewries at the Frontier shows how the productive confrontation between and among cultures and peoples generates a new, multivocal account of Jewish history.
Feminist Thought in Aotearoa/New Zealand
This collection of essays highlights the telling diversity of feminist political analysis as practiced today in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The book has been designed to identify those issues that feminists in this and other contexts are addressing in their research, teaching, writing, and their relationships with other feminists. These papers respond to queries about how and why politics, identity, activism, and community are being reconsidered in the 1990s.
Interactive Identities
"Forty-eight Jewish women were interviewed ... the book deals with the changing historical meaning of Jewish collective identity, the 'bicultural' challenge and the tensions of gender identities internal and external to Judaism"--Back cover.
«Auf Wiedersehen in Florenz!»
«Auf Wiedersehen in Florenz!» Voci di ebrei tedeschi dall’Italia presenta uno spaccato della Exilliteratur tedesca i cui protagonisti emigrarono a Firenze dopo l’avvento del nazionalsocialismo. Oltre a ricostruire il contesto della città negli anni 1933-1938, il volume esplora anche la produzione di alcuni autori e autrici dell’esilio, protagonisti del fervente clima culturale che si diffuse a Firenze grazie all’intersezione tra le culture tedesca, ebraica e italiana. Tra gli esponenti di questo contesto letterario, vi è un gruppo di autori che compare nella sezione dedicata alla scrittura in esilio (Alice Berend, Rudolf Borchardt, Karl Wolfskehl e Walter Hasenclever) mentre un altro gruppo compone, invece, il nucleo del post-esilio (Max Krell, Monika Mann, Otti Binswanger-Lilienthal e Georg Strauss).
