Transnational American Spaces
As people migrate, they face the need to create a stable space within a disconcertingly unfamiliar environment. This experience of creating new spaces opens opportunities for positive transcultural connections; however, these opportunities can also serve as the disciplining of the migrant body. This text focuses on the movement of bodies in transnational communities and the formation of domestic and communal spaces that provide respite from migratory paths, negotiate transnational relationships, or establish a new home. In doing so, we explore literary texts that question, challenge, and deepen our understanding of the experience of migration through the use of space and place. The texts in ...
Der »europäische Orient«
Mit den jugoslawischen Nachfolgekriegen beherrschten in den 1990ern Narrative von ewigem Hass und interethnischer Gewalt auf dem »Balkan« die westlichen Medien. Doch bereits Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts war dieser als imaginierter »europäischer Orient« in den geopolitischen und medialen Fokus angrenzender und weit(er) entfernter Länder gerückt. Wie wurden Bilder vom »Balkan« mit orientalisierten Vorstellungen angereichert oder davon abgegrenzt? Am Beispiel der Encounter Felix Kanitz und Edith Durham sowie der serbischen US-Migrationsgemeinschaft um Mihajlo Pupin beleuchtet Eva Tamara Asboth, wie Geschichtsbilder räumlich transferiert und übersetzt wurden. Sie zeigt: Die regionale Geschichte war und ist von zahlreichen Begegnungen, Widersprüchen und politischen Verwicklungen geprägt.

The Untold Yippie Project
"Little-known fact: On August 6, 1970 a group of Yippies planned an Invasion of Disneyland and forced the park to an early close. But who were the Yippies, and how did they leave such a mark in Disney history? In this docudrama-style retelling, Shirley Bowlby, a research historian, documents Terry Altman, the wild-but-weary leader of the Yippies, as he organizes the protest in Disneyland - with secret hopes of digging into Clyde, a former friend who has betrayed him."--Publisher's website.

Preserving New York
Preserving New York is the largely unknown inspiring story of the origins of New York City’s nationally acclaimed landmarks law. The decades of struggle behind the law, its intellectual origins, the men and women who fought for it, the forces that shaped it, and the buildings lost and saved on the way to its ultimate passage, span from 1913 to 1965. Intended for the interested public as well as students of New York City history, architecture, and preservation itself, over 100 illustrations help reveal a history richer and more complex than the accepted myth that the landmarks law sprang from the wreckage of the great Pennsylvania Station. Images include those by noted historic photographer...
The Handbook of International Higher Education
Co-published with AIEAInternational higher education has evolved, in some respects dramatically, in the decade since publication of the first edition of this handbook. The new issues, trends, practices and priorities of research that evolved over this time have in some instances been transformed by one of the most dynamic and tumultuous periods in the history of international higher education, brought on by the pandemic, a re-emergence of nationalism, and the recognition of the power imbalances between the developed economies and the global south, and racial inequities within and across borders. This new edition addresses the myriad changes across all aspects of international education, each...
