Harrington Park Press Inc Stormtrooper Families – Homosexuality and
Book SynopsisBased on extensive archival work, Stormtrooper Families combines stormtrooper personnel records, Nazi Party autobiographies, published and unpublished memoirs, personal letters, court records, and police-surveillance records to paint a picture of the stormtrooper movement as an organic product of its local community, its web of interpersonal relationships, and its intensely emotional internal struggles. Extensive analysis of Nazi-era media across the political spectrum shows how the public debate over homosexuality proved just as important to political outcomes as did the actual presence of homosexuals in fascist and antifascist politics. As children in the late-imperial period, the stormtroopers witnessed the first German debates over homosexuality and political life. As young adults, they verbally and physically battled over these definitions, bringing conflicts over homosexuality and masculinity into the center of Weimar Germany's most important political debates. Stormtrooper Families chronicles the stormtroopers' personal, political, and sexual struggles to explain not only how individual gay men existed within the Nazi movement but also how the public meaning of homosexuality affected fascist and antifascist politics-a public controversy still alive today.Trade ReviewDetailed, well informed, and highly readable-an important and most welcome contribution to the still relatively small number of SA histories, and Wackerfuss has undertaken a huge amount of research into local primary sources. -- Daniel Siemens, University College London A fascinating picture of the private lives of the SA, both as individuals and in their close-knit groups. Many studies concentrate on the SA leadership and its trials and tribulations, but Wackerfuss shines a light on individual units, which were by no means a united front but sometimes fraught with infighting. Beyond that, he peers into the life and minds of individual SA men to see what motivated them to join this violent organization and how it became instrumental in winning support for Adolf Hitler. -- Geoffrey Giles, University of Florida Stormtrooper Families is a much needed addition to the vast collection of books on the Third Reich and its history. Books by Meri Stormtrooper Families offers a much-needed historical reckoning... bringing lucid scholarship to a neglected area in the history of the Nazi regime. -- Karl Wolff New York Journal of Books It is a rare achievement indeed to tell us something new about Nazism. Through its in-depth exploration of 'everyday' life within Hamburg's Sturmabteiling (SA), the Nazi Party's paramilitary group, Andrew Wackerfuss' rich and readable book does just that. -- Victoria Harris Times Higher Education A fascinating study of a history that many textbooks have ignored. -- Darrell Scheidegger Jr. Outword A fascinating, well-researched and well-written book, this one is a keeper. -- Angel Curtis OutSmart A very readable history of the Sturmabteilung (SA), or stormtroopers, one of the earliest wings of Nazism... Highly recommended. Choice Wackerfuss brings a very perceptive eye to his subject... Academic readers will find his contribution to our knowledge of the SA, and especially his perceptive analysis of the psychology of some of its members, immensely useful, while more casual readers will surely find his account, quite simply, very enjoyable to read. -- Alex Burkhardt H-German Wackerfuss provides a welcome addition to our understanding of the early SA movement, and a thoughtful commentary on postwar notions of Nazi sexuality and homoeroticism. -- Tiia Sahrakorpi German History Stormtrooper Families reveals intimate details about the lives of the men who served in the famously cliquish, violent, and chaotic German military unit known as Sturmabteilung (a.k.a.

Rutgers University Press After Authority: Global Art Cinema and Political
Book SynopsisAfter Authority explores the tendency in art cinema to respond to political transition by turning to ambiguity, a system that ideally stems the reemergence of authoritarian logics in art and elsewhere. By comparing films from Italy, Hungary, South Korea, and the United States, this book contends that the aesthetic tradition of ambiguity in art cinema can be traced to post-authoritarian conditions and that it is in the context of a transition away from authoritarianism where art cinema aesthetics become legible. Art cinema, then, can be seen as a mode of cinematic practice that is at its core political, as its constitutive ambiguity finds its roots in the rejection of centralized and hierarchical configurations of authority. Ultimately, After Authority proposes a history of art cinema predicated on the potentials, possibilities, and politics of ambiguity.Trade Review“Confident, convincing, and timely, After Authority is a challenging and provocative work. Highly original, it adds significantly to current debates on cinema and politics.” -- Richard Rushton * author of The Politics of Hollywood Cinema: Popular Film and Contemporary Political Theory *"Kalling Heck makes the provocative claim that there is no apolitical art.

Book SynopsisThis tour de force of investigative journalismin the vein of The Next Civil War and Why We're Polarizedreveals how the battle between the right and left is spilling out from the darkest corners of the internet into the real world with often tragic consequences. Award-winning journalist and CNN correspondent Elle Reeve was not surprised by the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. With years of in-depth research and on-the-ground investigative reporting under her belt, Reeve was aware of the preoccupations of the online far right and their journey from the computer to QAnon, militias, and racist groups. At the same time, Reeve saw a parallel growth of counterforces, with citizen vigilantes using new tools and tactics to take down the far right. This ongoing battle, long fought mainly on the internet, had arrived in the real world with greater and greater frequency. With a sharp eye for detail and a dash of dark humor, Reeve explains

PIE - Peter Lang Confrontations au national-socialisme en Europe
Book SynopsisWie werden Ideologie, Etablierung und Herrschaft des Nationalsozialismus in den deutsch- und französischsprachigen Räumen Europas vom Beginn der 1920er bis zum Ende der 1940er Jahre wahrgenommen, bewertet und erklärt? In sechs systematisch angelegten Bänden, der erste erschien 2017, werden diese Fragen anhand einer exemplarischen Auswahl von Büchern, Zeitungen und Zeitschriften ebenso untersucht wie die unterschiedlichen Deutungen des Nationalsozialismus in seiner Epoche und den unmittelbaren Jahren nach seinem Ende. Im Zentrum von Band 5.1. stehen Protestanten und Katholiken aus dem deutschsprachigen Europa. Die Beiträge sind den verschiedenen Interpretationen des Nationalsozialismus in diesem weiten konfessionellen und politischen Spektrum gewidmet, insbesondere auch aus der Perspektive repräsentativer Zeitschriften dieser weltanschaulichen Segmente. Quelle fut la perception et l'interprétation du national-socialisme comme idéologie et comme pratique du pouvoir dans l'Europe francophone et germanophone entre le début des années 1920 et la fin des années 1940? Telle est la question au centre de la série de six volumes inaugurée en 2017 et qui propose une typologie des regards et des savoirs relatifs au national-socialisme et des interprétations suscitées par celui-ci à travers l'analyse systématique de monographies, de journaux et de revues représentatifs de l'opinion et des milieux intellectuels des pays intéressés. Le présent volume, quatrième de la série, s'intéresse aux positions adoptées par les protestants et les catholiques de l'espace germanophone face au national-socialisme. Il propose des études relatives à des interprétations du national-socialisme ainsi que d'autres centrées sur la vision de ce mouvement politique diffusée par une série de périodiques représentatifs.

Book SynopsisIl lavoro d'analisi condotto sulla rivista italo-spagnola Legioni e Falangi.Rivista d'Italia e di Spagna/Legiones y Falanges. Revista mensual de Italia y de España offre la possibilità di rileggere la scrittura letteraria spagnola su stampa dei primi anni Quaranta mediante una chiave interpretative che affonda le radici nel concetto williamsiano di cultura intesa come processo dinamico che pone costantemente in relazione il sistema dominante con le pratiche e i valori che si trovano al di fuori o ai margini dei termini tracciati dall'egemonia e che si rivelano capaci di metterne in discussione le fondamenta. Lo studio proposto consente di recuperare unafondamentale produzione critica e letteraria, nella quale ancor più che in quella dichiaratamente antifranchista è insita una ricerca della forma che, elevandosi a contenuto, sperimenta inediti meccanismi e dispositive narrativi capaci di valicare i limiti imposti dal potere e di insinuare, negli interstizi della scrittura letteraria, note di impronunciabile dissenso. Adottando un approccio metodologico olistico in grado di coniugare parametric teorici provenienti dalla narratologia, dai Media Studies e dai Cultural Studies, si portano alla luce alcune possibili fratture interne e rivelazioni recondite di testi firmati da figure di spicco del panorama letterario spagnolo come Azorín, Manuel Machado, Gerardo Diego, Samuel Ros,Tomás Borrás e José María Sánchez-Silva. Si dimostra, così, l'esigenza di svincolarsi da approcci critici dogmatici tesi a ridurre la portata dei prodotti letterari d'epoca franchista, per restituire loro una nuova vita, intrisa di interrogativi, priva di un'univoca chiave risolutiva, ma aperta ad un ventaglio infinito di strade percorribili.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Populist Radical Right and Health: National
Book SynopsisThis contributed volume is the first in-depth analysis of the health policies of populist radical right (PRR) parties worldwide and their actual involvement in health care. The prominence of authoritarian, nationalistic, and populist parties is expanding steadily. However, it is often difficult to discern what kind of policies they really stand for, particularly with regard to the welfare state and public health, where research remains sparse. This book fills this critical gap. The text connects PRR parties and leaders with actual health and social policy effects in Eastern and Western Europe as well as in the United States, Brazil, and the Philippines. The chapters highlight ten individual country case studies authored by young scholars and professors with political science and health experts: The Austrian Freedom Party in Government: A Threat to Public Health? The Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Health Policy: Normalization or Containment of Populist Radical Right Tendencies? Populist Radical Right Influence on Health Policy in the Netherlands: The Case of the Party for Freedom (PVV) The Evolution of the Populist Radical Right and Their Impact on Health in Italy The Populist Radical Right and Health in Hungary Is the Polish 'Law and Justice' (PiS) a Typical Populist Radical Right Party? A Health Policy Perspective The Case of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) Rhetoric and Reality in the United States of America: Trump, Populism, and Health Policy Ruling Through Chaos in Brazil: Bolsonaro's Authoritarian Agenda for Public Health An Authoritarian Reaction to COVID-19 in the Philippines: A Strong Commitment to Universal Health Care Combined with Violent Securitization The Populist Radical Right and Health is exceptionally timely and essential reading for political science and health colleagues researching and writing about PRR parties and leaders; students and faculty in public health, health and social policy, and political science; and anyone interested in learning more about this topic.Table of ContentsI. Introduction (Falkenbach, Guicciardi, and Moise)• Current layout of PRR parties - who they are, how they are classified, and why we think a new classification is necessary.• Difference between Left and Right and why we focus on the Right (see image in original proposal - attachment tab).• Current layout of PRR parties and their impact on health - who made it into government and a brief overview of the very limited resources available on this topic.• Policies important to these parties while in government. o Compare PRR parties’ manifestos to what they actually accomplished.• Limitations to the definition of health policy.II. Framework (Falkenbach, Guicciardi, and Moise)• The development of a new framework to identify PRR parties worldwide• Placing them on a spectrum (perhaps 2- or even 3-dimensional) - see below example (attachment tab), third-dimension economics could be added. o Add clientelism and corruption for eastern countries as neededIII. Case Studies – the case studies chosen for this project represent countries that either have or had PRR parties in government and continue to struggle with their electoral strength or have been experiencing a steady increase in support for PRR parties.• INTRO - Short history of the party, with a focus on the cultural/social background of the country. § How did the PRR party develop? § What kind of a role did they play in politics and were they accepted by other parties (SD/CD)? § Did the party’s tactics change over time, why? § Current strength/influence of the party in relation to other parties.• Reasons why we can consider the party as being PRR – follow conceptual framework.• POLICY FOCUS - Starting point for policy focus beginning 2000s unless there were influential policies previously passed that still have an impact today.• List relevant health policies adopted or proposed in the suggested table format.• CONCLUSION - Impact of the PRR party’s policies, with references to quantitative/qualitative studies.• Prediction of PRR parties influence in general over the next years - i.e., will they still be in government, why, why not?• Potential new health policies in the next few years.• Summary box with the most important 4 or 5 “take-home messages”.a.

De Gruyter Complicated Complicity: European Collaboration
Book SynopsisComplicated Complicity is about the forms taken, motives and spectrum of actions of European collaboration with the Nazis. State authorities, local military organizations and individual players in different countries and areas including France, Scandinavia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Greece, Italy, Portugal and the countries of the former Yugoslavia are discussed in the context of the history of World War II, the history of occupation and everyday life and as an essential influencing factor in the Holocaust. New forms of right-wing populism, nationalism and growing intolerance of Jewish fellow citizens and minorities have made such historically sensitive studies considerably more difficult in many countries today. In this time of increasing historical revisionism in Europe, such elucidating discourse is particularly relevant.

De Gruyter Western and Northern Europe June 1942–1945
Book SynopsisExecutive editors: Katja Happe, Barbara Lambauer, and Clemens Maier-Wolthausen, with Maja Peers; English-language edition prepared by: Elizabeth Harvey, Johannes Gamm, Georg Felix Harsch, Dorothy Mas, and Caroline Pearce In summer 1942 the Germans escalated the systematic deportations of Jews from Western and Northern Europe to the extermination camps. In most of the countries under German control, the occupying forces initially focused on arresting foreign and stateless Jews, thereby securing the cooperation of local authorities. However, before long the entire Jewish population was targeted for deportation. This volume documents the parallels and differences in the persecution of Jews in occupied Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France in the period from summer 1942 to liberation; it records the implementation of the systematic deportation and murder of Jews from Western and Northern Europe, and it also records the rescue of more than 5,000 Danish Jews. In letters and diary entries the persecuted Jews describe their attempts to flee, life in hiding, the transit camps, and deportation transports that often took several days. In Westerbork camp in the occupied Netherlands, Bob Cahen, himself an inmate, recorded in his diary the arrival in the camp of 17,000 Jews from across the Netherlands in October 1942: ‘People arrived here herded like livestock. Some were buried beneath their luggage, others without any possessions at all, not even properly dressed. Women in poor health who had been hauled out of bed in thin nightgowns, children in undergarments and barefoot, the elderly, the ill, the infirm – more and more new people came to the camp.’ The sources in the volume show how the perpetrators attempted to dupe their victims regarding the destination of the transports, and how Jewish organizations attempted to alleviate the suffering of the deportees. The documents additionally illustrate how the resistance movement gained momentum during this period. Learn more about the PMJ on https://pmj-documents.org/

De Gruyter Operation Valkyrie : A Military History of the
Book Synopsis20 July 1944 is usually associated with the bomb plot to murder Hitler. However, what distinguishes Colonel Stauffenberg’s plan from all others is that the attempt on the Führer’s life was only to be the initial stage of a full military coup d’état. The aim was to overthrow the murderous regime, and to end the war as soon as possible. The conspiracy has long been analyzed from political, social, religious, or moral points of view. This book asks what the military dimension of the plan was. What traditions in the German army were at work, how was planning and preparation done, and why did the plot fail eventually? What is more: how did the conspiracy affect the German armies created in East and West after World War II, and also the Austrian Army? As the politicians among the conspirators thought in categories of Imperial Germany or at least the Weimar Republic, the officers among them were conditioned by the Reichswehr. Yet, Stauffenberg and some others were also bright intellectuals who were willing to incorporate their war experience into their plans, rendering them surprisingly modern at times. The coup d’état had been planned as meticulously as circumstances in war-torn Berlin allowed. However, as most officers had foreseen, once it became public knowledge that Hitler had survived Stauffenberg’s bomb, army units refused to act. The myth surrounding the "Führer" effectively prevented any military action against him. Still, the failed uprising had its effects: the regime took the opportunity to tilt the balance of power further in favor of Himmler and his fiefdom (SS, Gestapo, Police), to the detriment of the army which Hitler felt was too reactionary anyway. The leadership of the West German Bundeswehr always saw the failed uprising as part of its tradition, but it took time for this attitude to percolate down to the rank and file. For decades, some of the former Wehrmacht soldiers viewed Stauffenberg and his friends as "traitors". The book is the first to approach this important event in German history from a specifically military point of view, and that results in some surprising new results.

De Gruyter Writing the Digital History of Nazi Germany: Potentialities and Challenges of Digitally Researching and Presenting the History of the Third Reich, World War II, and the Holocaust
Book SynopsisHow do scholarship and practices of remembrance regarding Nazi Germany benefit from digital tools and approaches? What challenges arise from "doing history digitally" in this field – and how should they best be dealt with? The eight chapters of this book explore these and related questions. They discuss the digital initiatives of various archives and source databases, highlight findings of research undertaken with digital tools, and examine how such tools can be used to present history in education, exhibitions and memorials. All contributions focus on recent or, in some cases, ongoing digital projects related to the history of National Socialism, World War II, and the Holocaust.

Book SynopsisNach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges bestand neben der Ahndung von NS-Gewaltverbrechen politisches Interesse daran, strafrechtlich gegen Personen vorzugehen, die stellvertretend für viele als Repräsentanten der mit dem Anschluss an Deutschland einhergehenden NS-Machtergreifung angesehen wurden und für die Aufarbeitung der NS-Vergangenheit ein Exempel zu statuieren. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden in Österreich gegen Anton Reinthaller und andere Mitglieder der ehemaligen Regierung Seyß-Inquart im Zusammenhang mit dem Anschluß Österreichs an das Deutsche Reich Volksgerichtsprozesse geführt. Im Buch erfolgt die Aufarbeitung dieses Strafverfahrens unter analytischer Betrachtung der darin gegenständlichen historischen Ereignisse sowie der staats- und völkerrechtlichen Komponenten des Falles. Gegenstand und Ablauf der Strafverfahren und die betreffenden Gnadenverfahren gegen Anton Reinthaller werden dargestellt und im allgemeinen historischen und rechtlichen Gesamtkontext analysiert und kritisch betrachtet. Es stellt sich bei dieser Thematik im Besonderen die Frage nach der Verantwortung Einzelner für gesamtgesellschaftliche Vorgänge und für staatlich organisierte Aktionen. Auch die im Zusammenhang mit diesem Fall Reinthaller erfolgte Medienberichterstattung mit deren politischer Komponente wird bei der Betrachtung des Falles berücksichtigt.

Hunderttausende von Objekten werden bis heute vermisst, viele Fragen sind unbeantwortet. Und doch fehlt das Verständnis für die immensen Zerstörungen und Verluste an russischen Kulturgütern im Zweiten Weltkrieg in Deutschland weitgehend.Erstmals wird in diesem Buch aus russischer und deutscher Sicht der NS-Kunstraub anhand von detaillierten Fallstudien beschrieben. Betrachtet werden die Zarenschlösser bei St. Petersburg sowie die Städte Pskov und Novgorod. Der Blick auf einzelne russische Museen erlaubt es, eine Geschichte der Kunst im Krieg zu erzählen. Neu erschlossenes Quellenmaterial gibt authentische Einblicke in das Kriegsgeschehen. So treten die Personen in den Vordergrund, die auf NS-Seite für Kunstschutz und Raub, auf sowjetischer Seite für die Rettung der Kunstsammlungen verantwortlich waren.

Bohlau Verlag Zwangsarbeit in Plauen im Vogtland: Lebens- und
Book SynopsisDespite the marginal economic importance of the city, the forced labor system in Plauen in the Vogtland was just as merciless as in the industrial centers of the German Empire. While the imperial legislation made concessions in the course of the war, the operating conditions on the ground tightened. The intensifying bomb war during the war finally led the armaments companies to the periphery of the empire and thus to the Vogtland. With the relocation, a large number of foreign workers, especially from the occupied eastern territories, came to Plauen and new industries emerged. The local authorities had to react to the increasing challenges posed by the deployment of foreigners from 1943 onwards. The book describes in detail the development of the labor deployment of forced laborers, prisoners of war and concentration camp prisoners in Plauen and also highlights the individual fates of foreign workers who were used for forced labor in agriculture, industry and the authorities.

In between there is an extremely changeable and painful history, for the city and for its residents, especially if they were Jews like Margot Ringwald and her family. As a ninety-year-old Margot Ringwald reports on the time before, during and after the war. Her story is individual and unique, and yet it is also typical; it stands for the fate of a large part of the extinct Eastern European Jewry, as the book clearly shows.

Book SynopsisDer "Sperr-Kreis" war ein bürgerlicher Widerstandskreis gegen den Nationalsozialismus in Bayern. In der Widerstandsforschung wurde er bisher nur am Rande behandelt. Die Untersuchung der Ursprünge, Motive und Ziele der Gruppe erfolgt auf umfassender Quellengrundlage. Eine Mischung aus individual- und kollektivbiographischem Zugang macht die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der etwa 66 Mitglieder der Widerstandsgruppe deutlich. Das Ziel des Widerstandskreises war der Aufbau einer "Auffangorganisation" für die Zeit nach dem Untergang des "Dritten Reiches" in Bayern. Seine Führungsriege der ehemalige Bayerische Gesandte in Berlin, Franz Sperr, sowie die früheren Weimarer Reichsminister Otto Geßler und Eduard Hamm stand früh mit dem bayerischen Kronprinzen Rupprecht in Verbindung, der im Falle des Zusammenbruchs als Integrationsfigur an die Spitze Bayerns treten sollte. Zur Wiederherstellung von Sicherheit und Ordnung trat man mit geeigneten Persönlichkeiten aus Militär, Polizei, Justiz, Verwaltung und Wirtschaft in Kontakt. Im Verlauf des Krieges nahm der Kreis mit dem westlichen Ausland sowie mit anderen Widerstandsgruppen Fühlung auf. So geriet er in das Fahrwasser des gescheiterten Attentats vom 20. Juli 1944, in dessen Folge seine führenden Köpfe verhaftet wurden. Sperr wurde hingerichtet, Hamm verlor sein Leben im Gefängnis. Doch sollte ein Großteil der ehemaligen Mitglieder der Gruppe den Krieg überleben und sich am Wiederaufbau und der Rückkehr zum Rechtsstaat beteiligen.

Book SynopsisText in German. Lilo and Ernst get to know each other during the country year in 1935 and fall in love. They make plans for the future, move in together and finally get married. Both are convinced of National Socialism and its values. Then the war breaks out and Ernst is drafted. They write letters to each other that show with an incomparable intensity the clash of their personal dreams with the political and military realities of the Third Reich. Seventy years later, her daughter Heinke deciphered the letters written in Sütterlin and asked the next generation: What did her parents know? Why did they believe in Hitler? The book is not an indictment against the parents. Rather, it is a painful argument and a historical analysis of one's own family history in the Third Reich.

Book SynopsisIn the young Federal Republic there was a large number of civil servants in the Federal Ministry of Justice who were deeply involved in the injustice system of the Nazi state and who left their mark on their work. This volume illuminates the laborious decision-making process of the ministry to process its own history and presents the significant research results. It makes clear that the historical findings are of great current social importance. From different perspectives - also from an international point of view - the question of what lessons and consequences can be drawn from this is investigated. This applies, for example, to National Socialist thought patterns that still live on today. The responsibility of lawyers and their training in legal ethics will be put to the test, as will the role of the state as legislator. And last but not least, our culture of remembrance is also subjected to critical scrutiny.

Drei Landeskirchen werden hierfür vergleichend in den Blick genommen und unter der Fragestellung untersucht, inwieweit es den Landeskirchen gelingt, die Ausbildung angehender Lehrkräfte vor ideologischer Vereinnahmung zu schützen. In unterschiedlichem Ausmaß sind institutionelle sowie inhaltliche Aspekte dafür entscheidend, ganz besonders jedoch zeigen sich die in die Ausbildung involvierten Personen als entscheidender Faktor dafür, wieweit ein Schutz der Ausbildung vor der Zerschlagung durch den Nationalsozialismus gelingt. Zeitgeschichtliche Umstände und institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen wirken demgegenüber meist vor allem unterstützend oder im Gegensatz hemmend.

Book SynopsisAt the twilight of the Weimar Republic, politicians, scientists, and theologians were engaged in debates surrounding the so-called Jewish Question. When the Nazi Party came to power in 1933, these discussions took on a new sense of urgency and poignancy. As state measures against Jews unfolded, theological conceptions of the meaning of Israel and Judaism began to impact living, breathing Jewish persons. In this study, Ryan Tafilowski traces the thought of the Lutheran theologian Paul Althaus (1888-1966), who once greeted the rise of Hitler as a gift and miracle of God, as he negotiated the Jewish Question and its meaning for his understanding of Germanness across the Weimar Republic, the Nazi years, and the post-war period. In particular, the study uncovers the paradoxical categories Althaus used to interpret the ongoing theological significance of the Jewish people, whom he considered both an imminent threat to German ethnic identity and yet a mysterious cipher by which Germans might decode their own spiritual destiny in world history. Sketching the peculiar contours of Althaus theology of Israel, this study offers a fresh interpretation of the Erlangen Opinion on the Aryan Paragraph, which is an important artifact not only of the Kirchenkampf, but also of the complex and ambivalent history of Christian antisemitism. By bringing Althaus into conversation with some of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century -- from Karl Barth and Emil Brunner to Rudolf Bultmann and Dietrich Bonhoeffer -- Tafilowski broadens the scope of his inquiry to vital questions of political theology, ethnic identity, social ethics, and ecclesiology. As Christian theologians must once again reckon with questions of national self-understanding under the pressures of mass migration and resurgent nationalisms, this investigation into the logic of ethno-nationalist theologies is a timely contribution.
