The Jews and the Nation-States of Southeastern Europe from the 19th Century to the Great Depression
In the second half of the 19th century, Southeastern Europe was home to a vast and heterogeneous constellation of Jewish communities, mainly Sephardic to the south (Bulgaria, Greece) and Ashkenazi to the north (Hungary, Romanian Moldavia), with a broad mixed area in-between (Croatia, Serbia, Romanian Wallachia). They were subject to a variety of post-Imperial governments (from the neo-constituted principality of Bulgaria to the Hungarian kingdom re-established as an autonomous entity in 1867), which shared a powerful nationalist and modernising drive. The relations between Jews and the nation-states’ governments led to a series of issues relating to the enjoyment of civil rights, public an...
Religious Education at Schools in Europe
The project "Religious Education at Schools in Europe" (REL-EDU), which is divided up into six volumes (Central Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, South-Eastern Europe, Eastern Europe), aims to research the situation with regard to religious education in Europe. The second volume outlines the organisational form of religious education in the countries of Western Europe (England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands). This is done on the basis of thirteen key issues, which allows specific points of comparison between different countries in Europe. Thereby the volume focusses the comparative approach and facilitates further research into specific aspects of the comparison.
From Revolutionaries to Citizens
From Revolutionaries to Citizens is the first comprehensive account of the most important antiwar campaign prior to World War I: the antimilitarism of the French Left. Covering the views and actions of socialists, trade unionists, and anarchists from the time of France’s defeat by Prussia in 1870 to the outbreak of hostilities with Germany in 1914, Paul B. Miller tackles a fundamental question of prewar historiography: how did the most antimilitarist culture and society in Europe come to accept and even support war in 1914? Although more general accounts of the Left’s “failure” to halt international war in August 1914 focus on its lack of unity or the decline of trade unionism, Mille...
Rethinking Displacement: Asia Pacific Perspectives
This book responds to the need to explore the multitude of interconnected factors causing displacements that compel people to move within their homelands or traverse various borders in the contemporary world that is characterised by extensive and rapid movements of people. It addresses this need by bringing together historical and contemporary accounts and critical examinations of the displaced, by articulating the commonalities in their lived experiences. It accomplishes the task of charting a new path in displacement studies by offering a number of studies from interdisciplinary and diverse methodological approaches comprising ethnographic and qualitative research and literary interpretati...
Misfire
A new interpretation of the Sarajevo assassination and the origins of World War I that places focus on the Balkans and the prewar period. The story has so often been told: Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Habsburg Empire, was shot dead on June 28, 1914, in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. Thirty days later, the Archduke's uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph, declared war on the Kingdom of Serbia, producing the chain reaction of European powers entering the First World War. In Misfire, Paul Miller-Melamed narrates the history of the Sarajevo assassination and the origins of World War I from the perspective of the Balkans. Rather than focusing on the bang of assassin Gavrilo Princip...

Untold War
Complex, brutal and challenging, the First World War continues to inspire dynamic research and debate. The third volume to emerge from the pioneering work of the International Society for First World War Studies, this collection of new essays reveals just how plural the conflict actually was – its totalizing tendencies are shown here to have paradoxically produced diversity, innovation and difference, as much as they also gave rise to certain similarities across wartime societies. Exploring the nature of this 'plural war,' the contributions to this volume cover diverse themes such as combat, occupation, civic identity, juvenile delinquency, chaplains, art and remembrance, across a wide ran...
L'histoire des minorités est-elle une histoire marginale?
Cet ouvrage pose, à travers une approche critique des sciences humaines, les enjeux épistémologiques et méthodologiques des études consacrées au fait minoritaire. Il examine la pertinence du concept de minorité selon les périodes et les contextes politiques et revient sur les dynamiques qui guident les rapports des minorités à la majorité ou des minorités entre elles. Les contributions publiées ici montrent que, loin d'être marginale, l'histoire des minorités est au contraire essentielle pour éclairer celle des cultures majoritaires. Certains groupes minoritaires revendiquent aujourd'hui légitimement leur appartenance à l'Histoire. Entre souci de visibilité et tendance à ...
Missions religieuses, missions médicales, et "mission civilisatrice" (XIXe et XXe siècles)
Le dossier associant historiens du religieux et historiens du médical se donne pour mission d'explorer les connexions établies entre ces deux domaines jusqu'alors traités de façon distincte au sein de deux traditions historiographiques différentes. Les articles de ce dossier ne nous renseignent pas seulement sur le rôle de la médecine dans le système colonial mais ils amènent à réfléchir autrement sur la place de la médecine "moderne" et de ses agents dans les processus sociaux et culturels à l'oeuvre dans toutes les sociétés des XIXe et XXe siècles. On ne peut qu'être frappé par la parenté des problématiques à l'oeuvre dans l'Europe du début du xixe siècle et dans les colonies un siècle plus tard. L'importance paradoxale des religieux dans la diffusion de soins "modernes" de type médical est le premier point commun entre les colonies et l'Europe. Confrontée à celle entreprise en Europe un peu plus tôt, l'action médicalisatrice dans les colonies n'apparaît pas aussi originale qu'on l'a souvent dit. Elle est plutôt le prolongement exacerbé du mouvement inauguré dans les métropoles.
Early Modern Diasporas
This book is the first encompassing history of diasporas in Europe between 1500 and 1800. Huguenots, Sephardim, British Catholics, Mennonites, Moriscos, Moravian Brethren, Quakers, Ashkenazim... what do these populations who roamed Europe in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries have in common? Despite an extensive historiography of diasporas, publications have tended to focus on the history of a single diaspora. Each of these groups was part of a community whose connections crossed political and cultural as well as religious borders. Each built dynamic networks through which information, people, and goods circulated. United by a memory of persecution, by an attachment to a homeland—be it ...
