Contested Solidarity

In the summer of 2015, an extraordinary number of German residents felt an urge to provide help to refugees. Doing good, however, is not as simple and straightforward as it might appear. Practices of solidarity are intertwined with questions of power. They are situated, relative and contested, unfolding in an ambivalent space between humanitarianism and political activism. This ethnographic account of the German »welcome culture« provides insights into the contested practices, imaginaries, interests and politics of refugee solidarity. Drawing on works from critical migration studies to social anthropology, Larissa Fleischmann develops an empirically grounded understanding of solidarity in migration societies.

Will's Way

A wild Australian adventure begins with the kidnapping of two boys in the action novel Will’s Way: On Lake Coothella. Tim and Nick are abducted from their lakeside camp-over on New Year’s Eve. The abductors are criminals whose revengeful intent is to make the boys disappear into the criminal underground in payment for an old insult dealt deep in the past. What the criminals don’t realise is the resourcefulness and determination, not only of the boys themselves but of their family and friends, who rally their separate rescue expeditions. Will, Tiff, and Matt immediately begin the pursuit in an old inflatable, while Billy and Jamie borrow a boat to help free their friends. Then Spiro and the mysterious Maria join the action. What results is a long and dangerous chase in a variety of boats, at night, over the lake displaying bravery and resourcefulness. This is followed by a determined pursuit through a pine forest, culminating in the final confrontation between the evil mastermind and Will Peters’ mother.
