In todays ever-changing and often uncertain world, encouraging healthy dialogue between all cultures and religions is vital. In Beyond the Clash of Civilizations, Mohamed Wa Baile carefully explores how Muslims and people of other faiths can achieve a peaceful coexistence instead of being victims of conflict. Wa Baile, a follower and practitioner of Islamic religion, has had the privilege of unconditional access to study Muslim communities in Switzerland. There, for the past ten years, he has examined the interactions between Muslims and the complex, introspective issues that often plague both individuals and families. Through attending hundreds of congregational prayers and interviews with ...

This open access book analyses migration and its relation to socio-political transformation in Switzerland. It addresses how migration has made new forms of life possible and shows how this process generated gender innovation in different fields: the changing division of work, the establishment of a nursery infrastructure, access to higher education for women, and the struggle for female suffrage. Seeing society through the lens of migration alters the perspective from which our past and thus our present is told—and our future imagined.
This book is the product of an endless individual and collective process of mourning. It departs from the author’s mourning for her parents, their histories and struggles in Germany as Gastarbeiter, while it also engages with the political mourning of intersectional feminist movements against feminicide inCentral and South America; the struggles against state and police misogynoir violence of #SayHerName in the United States; the resistance of refugees and migrantized people against the coloniality of migration in Germany; and the intense political grief work of families, relatives, and friends who lost their loved ones in racist attacks from the 1980s until today in Germany. Bearing witness to their stories and accounts, this book explores how mourning is shaped both by its historical context and the political labor of caring commons, while it also follows the building of a conviviality infrastructure of support against migration-coloniality necropolitics, dwelling toward transformative and reparative practices of common justice.
Jugendliche of Color sind auch in Deutschland von Racial Profiling und Polizeigewalt betroffen. Welche Erfahrungen machen sie mit diesen Praktiken? Wie erlangen sie ihre Handlungsfähigkeit zurück? Und welche Maßnahmen können sie ergreifen, um die Verhältnisse zu verbessern? Markus Textor bietet Antworten auf diese Fragen, indem er Licht auf ein national wie international schwach erforschtes Feld wirft. Durch qualitative Analysen zeigt er empirisch auf, dass Racial Profiling als rassistische Diskriminierungspraxis zu begreifen ist - und stößt so nicht nur theoretische Debatten in den Erziehungs-, Sozial- und Politikwissenschaften an, sondern macht diese auch für die sozialarbeiterische Praxis zugänglich.
Der 6. Fall des Kommissars Jürgen Schneider aus Basel. Auf offener Straße wird ein Kongolese erstochen, der mit einer Sugar Mummy zusammenlebt. Hat der Mord etwas mit ihr zu tun? Oder ist es ein ausländerfeindliches Hate Crime? Oder eine Tat mit homophobem Hintergrund? Die Ermittlungen gestalten sich äußerst schwierig, da verschiedene Personen als Täter in Frage kommen. Lange Zeit tappt der Kommissar im Dunkeln, bis er durch Zufall auf die Spur eiskalter Killer trifft, auf deren Konto noch weitere Morde gehen. Mit Schrecken muss er feststellen, dass neben ihm selbst und seinem Partner auch ihrem gemeinsamen Sohn Gefahr droht.
Writing as a scholar, composer, and musician, Jessie Cox foregrounds the experience of Black Swiss through sound and music in his first book, Sounds of Black Switzerland. Cox, himself Black Swiss, affirms the value of Black life through sound while critiquing anti-Blackness as a cause of erasure, silence, and limitation. He examines Swiss Nigerian composer Charles Uzor’s pieces for George Floyd, work by Black Swiss musicians such as DJ Maïté Chénière, clarinetist Jérémie Jolo, and rapper Nativ, as well as his own musical collaborations with the Lucerne Festival. In these analyses, Cox tackles the particularities of anti-Blackness in Switzerland, creating a practice of listening beyond what can be directly heard to explore the radical potential of Black thought and experience in a nation often claimed to be race-free. In so doing, he ultimately shifts thinking about Blackness in relation to citizenship, immigration laws, gender, kinship, and belonging. By listening to Black Swiss and other voices inaudible to the current world, Cox theorizes new ways of practicing scholarly study and general ways of relating to others and the world.
Inclusive Solidarity and Citizenship along Migratory Routes in Europe and the Americas links non-essentialist concepts of solidarity and citizenship to migration in different empirical contexts. The chapters in this edited volume analyse how civil society initiatives renegotiate societal structures in solidarity with people on the move, noncitizens and racialized individuals, and in doing so advance theorizing and contribute to current debates about citizenship and solidarity. Focusing on solidarity among members of the so-called ‘majority society’ in Europe and the Americas, this book offers a compendium of chapters that analyses particular practices of solidarity – both material and ...
Noch bis vor einigen Jahren galt Solidarität als linker, gewerkschaftlicher, gegen globale Ungleichheit engagierter Begriff. Mit nationale Grenzen überspringenden Bekundungen – von »Je suis Charlie« über »Wir schaffen das«, »#MeToo« und »Black Lives Matter« bis hin zur Hochkonjunktur der Solidarität in der Coronapandemie – änderte sich dies. Doch was sind die heutigen Grundlagen von Solidarität? Wie kann solidarisches Handeln gelingen? Bedeutet ein Klick in den sozialen Medien, dass solidarisch gegen Missstände oder strukturelle Unzulänglichkeiten gehandelt wird? Welchen Anfeindungen sind Menschen ausgesetzt, wenn sie sich öffentlich solidarisch verhalten? Ist Solidarität ein Schlüssel zur Bewältigung der gegenwärtigen Krisen? Die Beiträge dieses Buches gehen dem nach, was Solidarität heute in ihrer Vielgestaltigkeit ausmacht.
