Mobility and Modernity
Mobility and Modernity uses voluminous German data on migrations over the past two centuries to demonstrate why conventional assumptions about the relationship between mobility and modernity must be revised. Thus far the changing total volume of migration has not been traced over a long period for any country. Unique migration registration statistics, both detailed and broadly geographical in coverage, allow the precise plotting of migration rates in Germany since 1820. Steve Hochstadt combines careful quantitative methods, easily understood numerical data, and social analysis based upon broad reading in German social history to show that current beliefs about the direction and timing of cha...

Doba velikih migracij na Slovenskem
Sredi 19. stoletja se je na Slovenskem začelo obdobje, znano kot doba velikih migracij. Takrat so, tako kot že prej druge dele Evrope, širši srednjeevropski prostor zajela množična migracijska gibanja. Do druge svetovne vojne je ozemlje današnje Slovenije za stalno zapustilo okrog 440.000 prebivalcev. Takemu demografskemu primanjkljaju na ozemlju, ki je takrat štelo 1,5 milijona prebivalcev, so botrovali migracijski procesi različnih intenzivnosti in usmeritev, umeščeni med politična, ekonomska, kulturna in družbena dogajanja. Knjiga predstavi glavne obrise množičnih migracij, ki so ključno zaznamovale zgodovino slovenskega prostora, ter organizacijske in kulturno-umetniške dosežke slovenskih migrantov v novih domovinah. Namen knjige je tudi skozi življenjske zgodbe pokazati, kako so bile selitve vedno sestavni del vsakdanjega življenja v določenem zgodovinskem obdobju, v določenem lokalnem okolju in določeni družinski strategiji preživetja. Ob tem želi razprava istočasno obravnavati izseljevanje in priseljevanje kot skupno doživljanje in izkušnjo posameznega človeka, ki je vedno oboje hkrati, izseljenec in priseljenec.
The Urban Brain
Bridging the social and life sciences to unlock the mystery of how cities shape mental health and illness Most of the world’s people now live in cities and millions have moved from the countryside to the rapidly growing megacities of the global south. How does the urban experience shape the mental lives of those living in and moving to cities today? Sociologists study cities as centers of personal progress and social innovation, but also exclusion, racism, and inequality. Psychiatrists try to explain the high rates of mental disorders among urban dwellers, especially migrants. But the split between the social and life sciences has hindered understanding of how urban experience is written i...
The History of the Shanghai Jews
This volume provides a historical narrative, historiographical reviews, and scholarly analyses by leading scholars throughout the world on the hitherto understudied topic of Shanghai Jewish refugees. Few among the general public know that during the Second World War, approximately 16,000 to 20,000 Jews fled the Nazis, found unexpected refuge in Shanghai, and established a vibrant community there. Though most of them left Shanghai soon after the conclusion of the war in 1945, years of sojourning among the Chinese and surviving under the Japanese occupation generated unique memories about the Second World War, lasting goodwill between the Chinese and Jews, and contested interpretations of this complex past. The volume makes two major contributions to the studies of Shanghai Jewish refugees. First, it reviews the present state of the historiography on this subject and critically assesses the ways in which the history is being researched and commemorated in China. Second, it compiles scholarship produced by renowned scholars, who aim to rescue the history from isolated perspectives and look into the interaction between Jews, Chinese, and Japanese.
