German History Unbound
What is German history? Where did it take place? And what role did Germans living outside of Central Europe play in it? This polycentric history offers a new vision: It uses communities of Germans, from Austria to Chile to Russia, to rethink our narratives of modern German history. Focusing on the great plurality of Germans, and their interconnections around the world, it pointedly de-centers the nation-state while arguing that resisting its dominance in our historical narratives has high intellectual and political stakes. For within an unbound German history there are characteristics, clues, models, and precedents that can do much to undermine the return of violent, exclusionary nationalism. To that end, this book calls for a greater integration of mobilities, migration flows, different ways of belonging, and transcultural places into our narratives of Germans' histories. Ultimately, it reveals how embracing a range of narratives can help us to better understand people's actions, intentions, and motivations in particular historical moments.
Unity is Strength
Migration has been one of the most pressing societal issues throughout history. Immigrant associations play a crucial role in understanding this phenomenon. They channel migration streams, influence the assimilation of their members, and serve as representatives of the entire immigrant group in society. However, they remain an understudied subject, particularly in historical research. To address this gap, this study examines German immigrant associations in New York from the 1890s to the 1930s. Through an innovative combination of statistical and textual analyses, it explores the class composition of these associations, their intricate system of mutual aid, and their political activities. Th...
Constructing a German Diaspora
This book takes on a global perspective to unravel the complex relationship between Imperial Germany and its diaspora. Around 1900, German-speakers living abroad were tied into global power-political aspirations. They were represented as outposts of a "Greater German Empire" whose ethnic links had to be preserved for their own and the fatherland’s benefits. Did these ideas fall on fertile ground abroad? In the light of extreme social, political, and religious heterogeneity, diaspora construction did not redeem the all-encompassing fantasies of its engineers. But it certainly was at work, as nationalism "went global" in many German ethnic communities. Three thematic areas are taken as examp...
Die auswärtige Kulturpolitik des Freistaats Bayern 1945-1978
Der Freistaat Bayern verfügte nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs mit seinen kulturellen Schätzen über ein vielfältig einsetzbares Mittel, um angesichts der Beschränkungen durch Besatzungsstatut und Grundgesetz auch jenseits der Landesgrenzen zu agieren. Ausgehend von seinem Selbstverständnis als international vernetzter Kulturstaat im Zentrum Europas knüpften die staatlichen Akteure zwischen 1945 und 1978 ein dichtes Netz an Außenbeziehungen. Mit der auswärtigen Kulturpolitik als Instrument der Außen-, der Föderalismus- und der Außenwirtschaftspolitik entwickelte sich ein Politikfeld, das in der vorliegenden Studie auf einer breiten Quellengrundlage analysiert wird. Wer waren die Handlungsträger, welche Leitbilder verfolgten sie und welche Netzwerke konnten sie aktivieren? Was waren Mittel und Strategien, welche Räume wurden anvisiert? Erstmals steht hier nicht der Bund im Zentrum der Forschungen zur auswärtigen Kulturpolitik, sondern mit dem Freistaat Bayern ein Faktor, der mit dezidiertem Gestaltungswillen im Rahmen des Mehrebenensystems der Bundesrepublik Deutschland die Außenbeziehungen mitprägte.

Österreichs Skisport im Nationalsozialismus
Ausgezeichnet mit dem International Ski Association's Ullr Book Award 2023 Die Geschichte des nationalsozialistischen Skilaufs in Österreich beginnt nicht erst mit dem „Anschluss“ im März 1938. Schon davor kann eine Hinwendung großer Teile des organisierten Skisports zum Nationalsozialismus nachgezeichnet werden. Eine zunehmende Ideologisierung des Sports führte zu einer Ausgrenzungspolitik im ÖSV, die in der Radikalität der NS-Diktatur seine Entsprechung fand. Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit beleuchtet Machtstrukturen und Handlungsspielräume des österreichischen Skisports vor und während der NS-Diktatur und geht der Frage nach, inwieweit dieser zum Träger des nationalsozialis...
