The German Political Foundations' Work between Jerusalem, Ramallah and Tel Aviv
The German political foundations are a world-wide unique phenomenon. The concept of their international work as both independent organizations and state financed institutes are naturally raising several questions. This book focus on the foundations’ work in Jerusalem, Ramallah and Tel Aviv. This region holds a special position within the German foreign policy due to unique character of the German-Israeli relations and the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict. Israeli, Palestinian and German authors contribute to this publication by examining the history, potential influence, scope of action, chances and limits of the foundations in that region from different perspectives and with a specific focus on current developments
Race and Photography
Historian Amos Morris-Reich here tracks the trajectory of racial photography from 1876 through the Weimar and Nazi periods in Germany and, briefly, after WWII. With a particular focus on German and Jewish contexts, "Race and Photography "reveals the important role of racial photography within academic discourse on race. Photography was not simply a medium of illustration but rather it was a conduit for new forms of visual perception. Approaching the history of racial photography from an epistemic point of view raises questions concerning the similarity and specific difference of photography compared with other scientific media, and makes explicit the scientific and cultural assumptions in wh...
Jewish Studies and Israel Studies in the Twenty-First Century
Jewish studies has been a vibrant academic discipline for many decades, and since the establishment of the Association for Israel Studies in 1985 to engage in research on the history, politics, society, and culture of the modern state of Israel, the two disciplines have worked along parallel tracks in universities. This book focuses on the vibrant academic field of Israel studies and its complex and dynamic relations and intersections with its “older sibling” Jewish studies. Scholarly contributions from around the globe illustrate that the ongoing and growing interest in Israel studies, in particular since the early 2000s, must be analyzed and understood in its relationship to Jewish studies. Only this will allow scholarship to reflect on not only the intersections between the two fields but also on the prospects of cross-pollination between the disciplines for research and teaching. This will become ever more vital in an increasingly globalized world with shifting concepts, borders, and identity concepts.
Ideas of 'Race' in the History of the Humanities
This volume is concerned with the hitherto neglected role of the humanities in the histories of the idea of race. Its aim is to begin to fill in this significant lacuna. If, in the decades following World War II and the Holocaust – years that witnessed European decolonization and the African-American civil rights movement – the concept of ‘race’ slowly but surely lost its legitimacy as a cultural, political and scientific category, for much of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century concepts of race enjoyed widespread currency in numerous fields of knowledge such as the history of art, history, musicology, or philosophy. Bringing together some of the most distinguished scholars in their respective fields, this is the first collective attempt to address the history of notions of race in the humanities as a whole.
Israel's 70th Anniversary: Insights and Perspectives
The aim of the volume is to offer interdisciplinary insights unknown to many into the interior of the religious, cultural and political laboratory that is Israel. Europe can learn a lot from Israel: The handling of religious diversity within the country; the meaning of the Hebrew language; the integration of more than a million Jewish immigrants; the development of a dynamic economy; a flourishing education and science system; a rich culture in the field of literature and above all film; and last but not least the lively, constant and conflictual struggle for democracy. Additionally, the question of Israel-related anti-Semitism is debated from the perspective of Jewish studies, social sciences and Catholic theology.

A Double Burden
Critically analyzing Israeli-Jewish migration to Germany, A Double Burden combines complementary approaches from the social sciences—quantitative, qualitative, and ethnographic research—to track migrants' reasons for moving, their families' reactions, their settlement in the new country, and their social and economic integration, construction of identity, and perceptions of old and new antisemitism in Germany. Each chapter is placed within a relevant theoretical framework, the entire discussion set against the background of present-day international migration in general, migration to Germany in particular, and the Jewish experience in unified Germany. Rich with empirical evidence and presented with exceptional clarity and accessibility, A Double Burden will appeal to scholars of migration studies, the Israeli Diaspora, and German-Jewish life, as it also illuminates trauma and memory among third-generation Holocaust survivors.
Rassismus popularisieren
Warum konnten sich Rassismus und Antisemitismus in Deutschland in den Zwischenkriegsjahren so maßgeblich durchsetzen - mit all ihren katastrophalen Folgen? Die sogenannten »Rassenkunden«, erstmals erschienen 1922, waren die damals populärsten Werke, die rassistische und antisemitische Ideen propagierten. Hans F. K. Günther, der zuvor unbekannte Autor, erlangte durch diese Publikationen Prominenz als sogenannter »Rassengünther«. Sabrina Rogahn bietet in einer lebendigen Darstellung eine detaillierte Analyse der zahlreichen zeitgenössischen Buchkritiken zu den damaligen Bestsellern und veranschaulicht die Einstellungen des Denkkollektives der Rezensent:innen. Deutlich wird, wie die Rezensionen selbst dazu beitrugen, den Rassismus zu popularisieren.
Hier is alles veilig
Na een dwingend bericht van haar stiefzoon Immanuel, die ze tien jaar niet heeft gezien, vertrekt arts Lydia naar Israël. Daar aangekomen blijkt ze te laat. Er rest haar niets anders dan haar oude moederrol weer op zich te nemen en door te reizen, op zoek naar wie haar zoon is geworden. In de ontmoetingen met zijn vriendin, zijn vader en toevallige passanten reconstrueert Lydia het leven van een jongen in het leger die verstrikt raakte in een werkelijkheid groter dan hijzelf. Hier is alles veilig is een aangrijpende roadtrip door een land onder hoogspanning. Het verhaal stelt prangende vragen over blinde vlekken, over hoe te leven in een wereld gedomineerd door het verleden en over het verlangen om gezien te worden. Bovenal gaat het over die ene vraag die iedereen aangaat: wat hou je jezelf voor, zodat je kunt leven hoe je leeft? 'Menselijk, intelligent, doordringend. Anneleen Van Offel snijdt met haar zinnen en gedachten door de complexiteit van een conflict en toont zo wat het betekent om alsnog een mens te blijven' Jeroen Olyslaegers
Hier ist alles sicher
Ein Riss geht durch eine Familie. Und ein Riss geht durch ein Land. "Komm nach Israel, Mama." Lang hat Lydia den Hilferuf ihres Stiefsohnes ignoriert, und als sie endlich ankommt, ist es zu spät. Immanuel ist tot. Selbstmord. Sie begibt sich auf die verzweifelte Suche, will verstehen. Ihn und damit auch das Land, das eigentlich eine Zuflucht sein sollte. Vor dem Hintergrund des israelisch-arabischen Konflikts beginnt ein spannender Roadtrip, der tief hineinführt in die Strukturen und Wunden ganzer Generationen. Atmosphärisch dicht und mit einer unverwechselbaren literarischen Stimme schildert Anneleen Van Offel, wie schwer es ist, unter den falschen Umständen richtig zu handeln. Ein Roman über Liebe, Sehnsucht, Verlust, Tod und Trauer und gleichzeitig eine berührende Ode an das Leben.
