Book SynopsisNationalism was declared to be dead too early. A postnational age was announced, and liberalism claimed to have been victorious by the end of the Cold War. At the same time postnational order was proclaimed in which transnational alliances like the European Union were supposed to become more important in international relations. But we witnessed the rise a strong nationalism during the early 21st century instead, and right wing parties are able to gain more and more votes in elections that are often characterized by nationalist agendas. This volume shows how nationalist dreams and fears alike determine politics in an age that was supposed to witness a rather peaceful coexistence by those who consider transnational ideas more valuable than national demands. It will deal with different case studies to show why and how nationalism made its way back to the common consciousness and which elements stimulated the re-establishment of the aggressive nation state. The volume will therefore look at the continuities of empire, actual and imagined, the role of "foreign-" and "otherness" for nationalist narratives, and try to explain how globalization stimulated the rise of 21st century nationalisms as well.

Book Synopsis1963 wurde zwischen Deutschland und Marokko ein Anwerbeabkommen vereinbart. Aus der „vorübergehenden Beschäftigung“ marokkanischer „Gastarbeiter“ ist längst eine vielschichtige Einwanderungsgeschichte geworden. Den frühen Bergwerksarbeitern folgten bald Frauen und Kinder, später auch hoch qualifizierte Bildungsmigranten. In der zweiten und dritten Generation fanden teilweise erfolgreiche Aufstiege statt. Diese Prozesse trugen dazu bei, dass die Gruppe der marokkanischen Migranten und ihrer Nachkommen heute ähnlich heterogen wie die Migrationsgesellschaft insgesamt ist.Der Band widmet sich der Migration und Integration dieser bisher kaum beachteten Gruppe. Die interdisziplinäre Bestandsaufnahme geht aus einer Kooperation des Deutsch-Marokkanischen Kompetenznetzwerks (DMK) mit dem Institut für Migrationsforschung und Interkulturelle Studien (IMIS) der Universität Osnabrück hervor.Table of Contents​Migration und Intergration. - Sprache und Medien. - Transnationale Beziehungen.

Book SynopsisDas Buch befasst sich mit dem bislang noch weitgehend unbehandelten Gebiet der Konversion von Deutschen zum Islam und beruht auf langjährigen Feldstudien der Autorin in Deutschland. Es bietet neue Einsichten in die Zusammenhänge und Spannungen, die dieses stetig wachsende religiöse Phänomen in Deutschland und darüber hinaus hervorbringt.Von Jahr zu Jahr nimmt die Zahl der Europäer, die sich dem Islam zuwenden, zu. Die vorliegende Publikation erforscht wie insbesondere Deutsche den Islam für sich entdecken, ihre Verbundenheit zum Islam trotz der gesellschaftlich eher ablehnenden Haltung und Furcht leben, wie sie sich zu den eingewanderten Muslimen in Beziehung setzen und wie sie die Debatten um Rasse, Religion und europäischer Zugehörigkeit erleben und mitgestalten.Esra Özyürek wirft einen Blick darauf, wie die Gesellschaft konvertierte Mitbürger an den Rand drängt und deren nationale Loyalität in Frage stellt. Im Gegenzug versuchen sich die zum Islam konvertierten Deutschen von Migranten aus muslimisch geprägten Ländern abzugrenzen und einen „entnationalisierten“ Islam, frei von türkischen oder arabischen Traditionen, zu etablieren.Table of ContentsDeutscher Islam, rassifizierte Muslime .- Ein Islam mit deutschem Antlitz.- Die Distanzierung von migrantischen Muslimen.- Ostdeutsche Konversionen zum Islam nach dem Mauerfall.- Der Islam als eine Möglichkeit, Deutscher zu werden.- Salafismus – die Zukunft des europäischen Islam?.- Schlussfolgerungen.

Book SynopsisIt is generally known that emigrants from the British West Indies provided much of the labour needed to construct the Panama Railroad during the 1850s and the Panama Canal between 1881 and 1914. However, no comprehensive study of the background against which the movement took place, the numbers involved, the conditions under which the emigrants had to labour under the Isthmus, and the effects of emigration on the West Indian islands and Panama has been published. This study highlights the role of West Indians in building the Panama Railroad and Canal to link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It also shows that migration to Panama had more far-reaching demographic and economic consequences on the British West Indies than is generally realised and that the movement contributed to the still popular conception of extra-regional migration as one of the best avenues to economic and social betterment. It also examines the social position of Panamanians of West Indian descent and concludes that their assimilation was still not complete, even up to the end of the 20th century.
