Gendered Encounters between Germany and Asia
This volume provides new insights into gendered interactions over the past two centuries between Germany and Asia, including India, China, Japan, and previously overlooked Asian countries including Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Korea. This volume presents scholarship from academics working in the field of German-Asian Studies as it relates to gender across transnational encounters in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Gender has been a lens of analysis in isolated published chapters in previous edited volumes on German-Asian connections, but nowhere has there been a volume specifically dedicated to the analysis of gender in this field. Rejecting traditional notions of West and East as seeming polar opposites, their contributions to this volume attempts to reconstruct the ways in which German and Asian men and women have cooperated and negotiated the challenge of modernity in various fields.

What is to be Done?
What is to be done? This was the question asked by Lenin in 1901 when he was having doubts about the revolutionary capabilities of the Russian working class. 77 years later, Louis Althusser asked the same question. Faced with the tidal wave of May ‘68 and the recurrent hostility of the Communist Party towards the protests, he wanted to offer readers a succinct guide for the revolution to come. Lively, brilliant and engaged, this short text is wholly oriented towards one objective: to organise the working class struggle. Althusser provides a sharp critique of Antonio Gramsci’s writings and of Eurocommunism, which seduced various Marxists at the time. But this book is above all the opportunity for Althusser to state what he had not succeeded in articulating elsewhere: what concrete conditions would need to be satisfied before the revolution could take place. Left unfinished, it is published here in English for the first time.

Humanitarians at War
From the brink of dissolution in 1945 to the triumph of the Geneva Conventions in 1949, via the Nuremberg Trials, runaway Nazis, and furious battles with communist critics on the eve of the Cold War, this is the intriguing and remarkable story of the International Red Cross - and how it survived its ambiguous relationship with the Nazis during the Second World War. The Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is one of the world's oldest, most prominent, and revered aid organizations. But at the end of World War II things could not have looked more different. Under fire for its failure to speak out against the Holocaust or to extend substantial assistance to Jews trapped ...

Deutsches Rotes Kreuz und Türkischer Roter Halbmond / Alman Kızılhaçı ve Türk Kızılay
Im November 1863 wurde in Deutschland, im Königreich Württemberg, mit dem „Württembergischen Sanitätsverein“ die weltweit erste Hilfsgesellschaft gegründet, die das Rotkreuzzeichen führt. Dies erfolgte nur einen Monat nach den Beschlüssen einer internationalen Konferenz in Genf, die zur Gründung derartiger Hilfsgesellschaften aufriefen und das rote Kreuz auf weißem Grund als neutrales Zeichen festlegten. Nur wenige Jahre danach, 1868, entstand in der Türkei, im damaligen Osmanischen Reich, die „Hilfsgesellschaft für Verwundete“. Zunächst führte sie ebenfalls das Rotkreuzzeichen, aber schon einige Jahre später ließ das Osmanische Reich wissen, dass es fortan den roten H...
