Law, History, and Justice
Since the nineteenth century, the development of international humanitarian law has been marked by complex entanglements of legal theory, historical trauma, criminal prosecution, historiography, and politics. All of these factors have played a role in changing views on the applicability of international law and human-rights ideas to state-organized violence, which in turn have been largely driven by transnational responses to German state crimes. Here, Annette Weinke gives a groundbreaking long-term history of the political, legal and academic debates concerning German state and mass violence in the First World War, during the National Socialist era and the Holocaust, and under the GDR.
Germans and African Americans
Germans and African Americans, unlike other works on African Americans in Europe, examines the relationship between African Americans and one country, Germany, in great depth. Germans and African Americans encountered one another within the context of their national identities and group experiences. In the nineteenth century, German immigrants to America and to such communities as Charleston and Cincinnati interacted within the boundaries of their old-world experiences and ideas and within surrounding regional notions of a nation fracturing over slavery. In the post-Civil War era in America through the Weimar era, Germany became a place to which African American entertainers, travelers, and ...
Theatre Under the Nazis
Were those who worked in the theatres of the Third Reich willing participants in the Nazi propaganda machine or artists independent of official ideology? To what extent did composers such as Richard Strauss and Carl Orff follow Nazi dogma? How did famous directors such as Gustaf Grüdgens and Jürgen Fehling react to the new regime? Why were Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw among the most performed dramatists of the time? And why did the Nazis sanction Jewish theatre? This is the first book in English about theater in the entire Nazi period. The book is based on contemporary press reports, research in German archives, and interviews with surviving playwrights, actors, and musicians.

Throughout the book, the author relates the disciplines history to its historical, economic, political and cultural contexts. The book begins with sociology in the German Reich, the Weimar Republic, National Socialism and exile, before exploring sociology after 1945 as a key discipline of the young Federal Republic of Germany, and reconstructing the periods from 1945 to 1968 and from 1968 to 1990. The final chapters are devoted to sociology in the German Democratic Republic and the period from 1990 to the present day. This work will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, and to a general readership interested in the history of Germany. Stephan Moebius is Professor of Sociological Theory and Intellectual History at the University of Graz, Austria.
Die neue Kölner Rechtswissenschaftliche Fakultät von 1919 bis 1950
Die Neugr ndung der Universitat zu Koln und ihrer rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultat im Jahr 1919 ist eng mit Konrad Adenauer verbunden. In Nachbarschaft zur Bonner Universitat gelang es, eine zweite Hochschule in den preussischen Rheinlanden zu errichten. Man strebte u.a. mit einer Aufteilung zwischen Forschungsaufgaben (Instituten) und Unterrichtsaufgaben (Seminaren) einen neuen Hochschultyp an. Zugleich legte man grossen Wert auf weltanschauliche und wissenschaftsmethodische Pluralitat. F\r die Entwicklung der Fakultat war es wichtig, dass es gelang, bedeutende Professoren wie z. B. Fritz Stier-Somlo, Godehard Josef Ebers, Heinrich Lehmann, Hans Planitz, Andreas von Tuhr und Arthur Baumgar...
