GDR Development Policy in Africa
This book focuses the multi-faceted and far-reaching dealings between the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) and Third World countries, including their liberation movements and development policies. For almost 40 years, the history and previously intense relationship which was maintained between the GDR and Africa has been disregarded. This situation is arguably incomprehensible as Germany's image in many Third World countries has been defined greatly by the smaller of the two Germanies, especially in South Africa.

Border Crossings
Der britisch-kanadische Religionswissenschaftler Irving Hexham hat sich in seinen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten oftmals uber die Grenzen seiner Disziplin hinaus mit wichtigen akademischen Forschungsergebnissen zu Wort gemeldet. So wie sein bedeutender Beitrag zur interdisziplinaren wissenschaftlichen Arbeit den Fachwissenschaftlern Achtung und Anerkennung abverlangt, so beeindruckend sind auch die "geographischen Entfernungen" seiner Themen. Wissenschaftler aus aller Welt und aus den verschiedensten Disziplinen haben deshalb ihrem Kollegen eine Festschrift gewidmet. Die dafur angefertigten Studien zeigen nicht nur die grosse Wertschatzung fur den Jubilar, sondern machen auch die Vielfalt des wissenschaftlichen Interesses von Irving Hexham, welches sich um christliche Missions- und Religionsgeschichte im weitesten Sinne gruppiert, deutlich.

An Ethnography of Faith. Personal Conceptions of Religiosity in the Soutpansberg, South Africa, in the Early 20th Century
Research into the history of Christian missions in the context of colonialism has focused primarily on missions as institutions and on the ways in which people were integrated into the economic, political and ideological spheres of imperial powers. Reduced to an experience occurring within a person, faith was deemed unapproachable by scientific methods. This has, in effect, constituted a silence regarding the everyday experience of religiosity among those drawn to Christianity. The Ethnography of Faith is a detailed study of the ways in which people engage with and experience the religious in order to recognise and understand this suppressed voice of religiosity. In her analysis of the Luthe...
East German Historians since Reunification
With German reunification and the demise of the German Democratic Republic in 1990, East German historians and their traditions of historiography were removed from mainstream discourse in Germany and relegated to the periphery. By the mid-1990s, few GDR-trained historians remained in academia. These developments led to a greater degree of intellectual pluralism, yet marginalized many accomplished scholars. East German Historians since Reunification assesses what was gained and lost in the process of dissolving and remaking GDR institutions of historical scholarship. The collection combines primary and secondary sources: younger scholars offer analyses of East German historiography, while senior scholars who lived through the dismantling process provide firsthand accounts. Contributors address broad trends in scholarship as well as particular subfields and institutions. What unites them is a willingness to think critically about the achievements and shortcomings of GDR historiography, and its fate after German reunification.
