Children and Youth at Risk in Times of Transition
Children and youth belong to one of the most vulnerable groups in societies. This was the case even before the current humanitarian crises around the world which led millions of people and families to flee from wars, terror, poverty and exploitation. Minors have been denied human rights such as access to education, food and health services. They have been kidnapped, sold, manipulated, mutilated, killed, and injured. This has been and continues to be the case in both developed and developing countries, and it does not look as if the situation will improve in the near future. Rather, current geopolitical developments, political and economic uncertainties and instabilities seem to be increasing...
Black GI Children in Post-World War II Europe
This volume addresses an issue that was until recently taboo: children fathered by Black American GIs who were stationed in Europe during and after World War II and whose mothers were local citizens. They were born into societies that defined themselves as White and rejected this extremely visible portion of the so-called occupation children. Black and White are in this volume not (only) understood as descriptions of skin color, but above all as social constructs and political categories with racist attributions and effects. The authors of the contributions examine the manner in which these mixed-race children and their mothers were treated by their societies and the respective authorities; they assess the experiences and self-understandings of the individuals affected; they discuss their institutionalization and the strategy practiced by the youth welfare agencies of giving these children up for adoption abroad; and finally they highlight how African American couples in the USA interpreted the adoption of these mixed-race children from Europe as an act of Black resistance against White supremacy.
Early Nineteenth-century German Settlers in Ohio (mainly Cincinnati and Environs), Kentucky, and Other States
Germany immigration authority, Clifford Neal Smith spent a number of years ferreting out surrogate passenger information from the periodical literature. In one instance, Mr. Smith transcribed the genealogical contents, published between 1869 and 1877, of Volumes 1 through 9 of Der Deutsche Pioniere, a monthly magazine issued by the Deutsche Pioniereverein (Union of German Pioneers) founded in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Smith provides the following particulars on each German-American pioneer found in that periodical: name, place of origin in Germany, town or county of residence, reference to the original source, and biographical data provided in the original notice. While most of the early entries pertain to Germanic inhabitants of Ohio, later issues of Der Deutsche Pioniere refer to deceased persons living in Kentucky and neighboring states.
Unforgetting and the Politics of Representation
Based on interviews and conversations in the Bosnian Federation with women survivors of war rape, children born of rape and armed conflict, leaders of NGOs who work with survivors, and people who lived through the war and who experienced it in different ways, this book challenges one dimensional representations of the Yugoslav war and subsequent peacebuilding processes. Relying on feminist ethnography and autoethnography, this volume offers systematic engagement with the politics of representation of Bosnia and survivors of war in post-war journalism and scholarship. Through rich and varied individual experiences of wartime violence and recovery that go beyond simple ‘us’ versus ‘themâ...

Seriality Across Narrations, Languages and Mass Consumption
The contributions gathered in this volume define and discuss concepts, themes, and theories related to contemporary audiovisual seriality. The series investigated include Black Mirror, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Penny Dreadful, Sherlock, Orange Is the New Black, Stranger Things, Vikings, and Westworld, to mention just some. Including contributions from social and media studies, linguistics, and literary and translation studies, this work reflects on seriality as a process of social, linguistic and gender/genre transformation. It explores the dynamics of reception, interaction, and translation; the relationship between authorship and mass consumption; the phenomena of multimodality, and intertextuality.

Das unerwünschte Enkelkind
Der Sophienlust Bestseller darf als ein Höhepunkt dieser Erfolgsserie angesehen werden. Denise von Schoenecker ist eine Heldinnenfigur, die in diesen schönen Romanen so richtig zum Leben erwacht. Das Kinderheim Sophienlust erfreut sich einer großen Beliebtheit und weist in den verschiedenen Ausgaben der Serie auf einen langen Erfolgsweg zurück. Denise von Schoenecker verwaltet das Erbe ihres Sohnes Nick, dem später einmal, mit Erreichen seiner Volljährigkeit, das Kinderheim Sophienlust gehören wird. Unsanft stieß Henrik den gleichaltrigen Jörg in die Seite. »Drängle nicht so«, flüsterte er ungeduldig. »Ich möchte doch auch die Braut sehen«, seufzte Jörg und begab sich wieder...
Britain’s ‘brown babies’
This book recounts a little-known history of an estimated 2,000 children born to black GIs and white British women in world war 11. Stories from over 50 of these children, alongside many photographs, reveal the racism and stigma of growing up in what was then a very white country.
