A Transnational History of Forced Migrants in Europe
This book is a vital exploration of the harrowing stories of mass displacement that took place in the first half of the 20th century from the perspective of forced migrants themselves. The volume brings together 15 interrelated case studies which show how the deportation, evacuation and flight of millions of people as a result of the First World War intensified rather than alleviated ethnic conflicts which culminated in population transfers on an even larger scale during and immediately after the Second World War. While each chapter focuses on a different group of refugees and displaced persons, the text as a whole looks at the experience of forced migration as a complex set of evolving rela...
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Migration
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Migration presents the story of religion and migration predominantly through the experiences of Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists, considering intersectional issues including race, ethnicity, class, gender and generation throughout. Many chapters are grounded in embodied ethnography including participant observation fieldwork, interviews, oral history collections and qualitative analysis, drawing on sociological and anthropological theory, as well as non-western and historical approaches to religion. Chapters also chronicle migration in regional, transnational, multicultural and populist contexts, examining everyday religiosity and religion across generations. The volume includes chapters on Islam and Muslim identity, Chinese and Vietnamese Buddhism, Filipino and Korean religiosity and Polish Catholicism.
Paediatrics in the Reichsuniversität Straßburg
This sensitive yet incisive book addresses the medical treatment of children in the city of Strasbourg during Nazi occupation. Exploring more than 1,000 previously undocumented patient files, it illuminates starkly the workings of paediatric care at a pivotal moment in history. Issues of nationality, social class, and diagnosis all contributed to the experience of each child, and here extensive data analysis is deployed to back up poignant individual stories. This is the first ever demographic overview of a vulnerable group who were treated in the hospital of the Reichsuniversität Straßburg. Veering away from the well-established, top-down approach of examining the doctors, instead it make...
Die Medizinische Fakultät der Universität zu Köln in der NS-Zeit
Die Kölner Universitätsmedizin war in der NS-Zeit an Unrecht und Verbrechen beteiligt. So wurden Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter aus ideologischen Gründen entlassen und verfolgt, in Frauenklinik und Chirurgischer Klinik tausende Menschen zwangsweise sterilisiert. Auch Zwangsabtreibungen sind dokumentiert. Das Anatomische Institut profitierte von den Hinrichtungen politischer Häftlinge im Gefängnis "Klingelpütz". Opposition war selten, auch die Studierenden passten sich dem Regime an. Dieses Buch schildert die Biographien wichtiger Akteure, etwa der Klinik- und Institutsdirektoren sowie des städtischen Gesundheitsdezernenten Carl Cörper, erinnert aber auch an die Verfolgten. Dabei bleiben die Strukturen an der Medizinischen Fakultät nicht im Dunkeln: Trotz Gleichschaltung und Gewaltregime gab es durchaus Spielräume für humanes Handeln. Der Band ist reich bebildert und mit Personenregister und mehreren Übersichtstabellen z. B. zu den Parteimitgliedschaften ausgestattet.
Das Ende denken
Derzeit haben Endzeitszenarien Konjunktur. Wegen zunehmend instabiler Verhältnisse in der Politik befürchten einige das Ende der Demokratie. Die »Letzte Generation« warnt angesichts der drohenden Klimakatastrophe vor dem Ende der Menschheit. Und die ökologische Krise lässt sogar ein beispielloses Ende biologischer Arten befürchten. Doch das Nachdenken über das Ende ist nicht neu. Wie die Beiträge dieses interdisziplinär angelegten Bandes zeigen, setzt sich der Mensch seit jeher mit dem Ende von Dingen oder Zeiten auseinander, die ihm wichtig sind. Denn der Mensch ist das Wesen, welches das Ende denken kann. Er kann es fürchten wie den eigenen Tod oder das Ende einer guten Beziehung. Er kann es aber auch nur beschwören, um es zu vermeiden helfen, oder es festsetzen, um Epochen voneinander abzugrenzen. In jedem Fall macht sich der Mensch eine Vorstellung vom Ende und versucht, es gedanklich vorwegzunehmen oder im Nachhinein zu deuten, die Zeit bis dahin zu nutzen und vielleicht sogar das Ende zu einem Neuanfang umzudeuten.

The New Internationalists
An account of the mobilization of thousands of volunteers who rescued, supported, and welcomed refugees during the recent European refugee crisis. In The New Internationalists, Sue Clayton tells the story of the largest civic mobilization since the Second World War, when volunteers—many young and untrained—took on unimaginable responsibilities and saved thousands of lives. During the European refugee crisis of 2015–2020, they witnessed first hand the catastrophic failure of established NGOs, and the indifference—and frequently, the open hostility—of the EU and national governments. Many faced state hostility themselves. Their accounts show how activist volunteers have shaped today'...
