Since the Middle Ages, Africans have lived in Germany as slaves and scholars, guest workers and refugees. After Germany became a unified nation in 1871, it acquired several African colonies but lost them after World War I. Children born of German mothers and African fathers during the French occupation of Germany were persecuted by the Nazis. After World War II, many children were born to African American GIs stationed in Germany and German mothers. Today there are 500,000 Afro-Germans in Germany out of a population of 80 million. Nevertheless, German society still sees them as "foreigners," assuming they are either African or African American but never German.

In recent years, the subject of Afro-Germans has captured the interest of scholars across the humanities for several reasons. Looking at Afro-Germans allows us to see another dimension of the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century ideas of race that led to the Holocaust. Furthermore, the experience of Afro-Germans provides insight into contemporary Germany's transformation, willing or not, into a multicultural society. The volume breaks new ground not only by addressing the topic of Afro-Germans but also by combining scholars from many disciplines.

Ireland appears to be in the process of a remarkable social change, a process which has dramatically reversed a hitherto seemingly unstoppable economic decline. This exciting new book systematically scrutinises the interpretations and prescriptions that inform the 'Celtic Tiger'. Takes the standpoint that a more critical approach to the course of development being followed by the Republic is urgently required. Sets out to expose the fallacies that drive the fashionable rhetoric of Tigerhood. An esteemed list of contributors deal with issues such as immigration, the role of women, globalisation, and changing economic and social conditions.

This vividly detailed revisionist history exposes the underworld of the largest metropolis of the early modern Mediterranean and through it the entire fabric of a complex, multicultural society. Fariba Zarinebaf maps the history of crime and punishment in Istanbul over more than one hundred years, considering transgressions such as riots, prostitution, theft, and murder and at the same time tracing how the state controlled and punished its unruly population. Taking us through the city's streets, workshops, and houses, she gives voice to ordinary people-the man accused of stealing, the woman accused of prostitution, and the vagabond expelled from the city. She finds that Istanbul in this period remains mischaracterized-in part by the sensational and exotic accounts of European travelers who portrayed it as the embodiment of Ottoman decline, rife with decadence, sin, and disease. Linking the history of crime and punishment to the dramatic political, economic, and social transformations that occurred in the eighteenth century, Zarinebaf finds in fact that Istanbul had much more in common with other emerging modern cities in Europe, and even in America.

De strijd om de hoofddoek. De gewelddadige rellen in de Brusselse politiezone West. De vele gevangenen met allochtone roots. De regularisatie-improvisatie die de komende jaren voor een aanwas van wellicht 350.000 nieuwe Belgen zal zorgen. De duizenden kinderen die in onze hoofdstad aan het eerste leerjaar beginnen zonder dat ze een woord Nederlands of Frans machtig zijn. Het is voor iedereen duidelijk: de maatschappelijke tijdbom tikt. En toch moet de burger blijven aanhoren dat het zo'n vaart wel niet zal lopen. Dat 'onze rotjochies' alleen maar het slachtoffer van discriminatie, racisme en achterstelling zijn. Dat er in onze Belgische gevangenissen ook witte Belgen zitten.Jean-Marie Dedecker is deze en andere bakerpraatjes zat. In zijn geheel eigen stijl, niet altijd remmend of bang voor een scherpe of te korte bocht, verdedigt hij in HOOFDDOEK OF BLINDDOEK? DE MIGRATIE ONTSLUIERD de universele waarden van de westerse samenleving: de rechtsstaat, de gelijkheid van man en vrouw, het recht op vrije meningsuiting, de vrijheid van godsdienst, de scheiding van kerk en staat. Het is geen vrijblijvend boek, want het roept ons allemaal – van gewone mens tot politicus – op tot actie. Het naoorlogse westerse samenlevingsmodel is immers te mooi en te waardevol om zomaar te verkwanselen. (Bron: covertekst)
