Dubbel zondebok
Toen de waarheid moest onderduiken en Joodse journalisten werden vervangen door NSB’ers In Dubbel zondebok vertelt Piet Hagen de geschiedenis van Joodse journalisten, fotografen en andere publicisten in oorlogstijd. Zij werden vanaf de eerste dag van de bezetting ontslagen en vervolgd, als eerste slachtoffers van het naziregime. Vele werden gedeporteerd en omgebracht. Als journalist én als Jood stonden zij bovenaan de zwarte lijst. Hun vervolging werd voorafgegaan door jaren van antisemitische vooroordelen en propaganda, die hen brandmerkte als ‘leugenpers’. Nadat Joodse journalisten door de Duitse bezetter waren uitgeschakeld werd de voltallige Nederlandse pers stap voor stap ‘gelijkgeschakeld’, dat wil zeggen genazificeerd. Toch kwam de waarheid van de Holocaust stukje bij beetje aan het licht, mede dankzij Joodse ooggetuigen en klokkenluiders. Dubbel zondebok is een belangrijk historisch overzichtswerk, dat gelezen kan worden als een waarschuwing nu antisemitisme, complottheorieën en nepnieuws weer krachtig oplaaien. Tevens is het een monument ter nagedachtenis aan de vele Joodse journalisten die Nederland rijk was.
Scorched Earth
A global history of environmental warfare and the case for why it should be a crime The environmental infrastructure that sustains human societies has been a target and instrument of war for centuries, resulting in famine and disease, displaced populations, and the devastation of people’s livelihoods and ways of life. Scorched Earth traces the history of scorched earth, military inundations, and armies living off the land from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, arguing that the resulting deliberate destruction of the environment—"environcide"—constitutes total war and is a crime against humanity and nature. In this sweeping global history, Emmanuel Kreike shows how religious war i...
Region and State in Nineteenth-Century Europe
In reaction to the centralizing nation-building efforts of states in nineteenth-century Europe, many regions began to define their own identity. In thirteen stimulating essays, specialists analyze why regional identities became widely celebrated towards the end of that century and why some considered themselves part of the new national self-image.
Leading Works in Health Law and Ethics
Health and healthcare are vitally important to all of us, and academic interest in the law regulating health has, over the last 50 years, become an important field of academic study. An analysis of the development of, changes in, and scope of health law and ethics to date, is both timely and of interest to students and scholars alike, along with an exploration of its likely future development. This work brings together contributions from leading and emerging scholars in the field. Each contributor has been invited to select and analyse a ‘leading work’, which has for them shed light on the way that health law and ethics has developed. The chapters are both autobiographical, reflecting up...
Staging Authority
Staging Authority: Presentation and Power in Nineteenth-Century Europe is a comprehensive handbook on how the presentation, embodiment, and performance of authority changed in the long nineteenth century. It focuses on the diversification of authority: what new forms and expressions of authority arose in that critical century, how traditional authority figures responded and adapted to those changes, and how the public increasingly participated in constructing and validating authority. It pays particular attention to how spaces were transformed to offer new possibilities for the presentation of authority, and how the mediatization of presence affected traditional authority. The handbook’s fourteen chapters draw on innovative methodologies in cultural history and the aligned fields of the history of emotions, urban geography, persona studies, gender studies, media studies, and sound studies.
Blood Feuds
In the mid-1980s public health officials in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia discovered that almost half of the hemophiliac population, as well as tens of thousands of blood transfusion recipients, had been infected with HIV-tainted blood. This book provides a comparative perspective on the political, legal, and social struggles that emerged in response to the HIV contamination of the industrialized worlds blood supply. It describes how eight nations responded to the first signs that AIDS might be transmitted through blood, and how they falteringly arrived at and finally implemented measures to secure the blood supply. The authors detail the remarkable saga of the mobilization of ...
