Liverpool University Press Transatlantic Radicalism: Socialist and Anarchist
Book SynopsisThe Atlantic Ocean not only connected North and South America with Europe through trade but also provided the means for an exchange of knowledge and ideas, including political radicalism. Socialists and anarchists would use this “radical ocean” to escape state prosecution in their home countries and establish radical milieus abroad. However, this was often a rather unorganized development and therefore the connections that existed were quite diverse. The movement of individuals led to the establishment of organizational ties and the import and exchange of political publications between Europe and the Americas. The main aim of this book is to show how the transatlantic networks of political radicalism evolved with regard to socialist and anarchist milieus and in particular to look at the actors within the relevant processes—topics that have so far been neglected in the major histories of transnational political radicalism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Individual case studies are examined within a wider context to show how networks were actually created, how they functioned and their impact on the broader history of the radical Atlantic.Trade Review‘Transatlantic Radicalism is empirically rich and serves as a welcome addition to the growing literature on migration, exile and transnationalism.’ Jessica Thorn, Labour History ReviewTable of Contents1.

Lexington Books German Scholars in Exile
Book SynopsisGerman Scholars in Exiledeals with intellectuals who fled Nazi Germany and found refuge in either the United States or in American Services in Great Britain and post-WWII Germany. The volume focuses on scholars who were outside the commonly known Max Horkheimer-Hannah Arendt circles, who are less well-known but not less important. Their experiences ranged from an outstanding career at an Ivy-League university to a return to the German Democratic Republic and a position as an economic advisor to East Berlin''s party leadership. None had actual political power, but many asserted some degree of influence. Their intellecutal legacies can still be seen in today''s political culture.Trade ReviewGerman Scholars in Exile: New Studies in Intellectual History is a diverse collection of intellectual biographies of not-soon-to-be-forgotten scholars. The volume is both a grim testament to the intellectual upheavals resulting from fascist oppression and the violence of war as well as a celebration of the tenacity and determination of those exiled by war to develop innovative and lasting contributions to academia. A fascinating and valuable collection of essays. -- Alexandra E. Hui, Mississippi State UniversityThis collection of essays profiles ten exiled German and Austrian intellectuals who, the editors claim, are “less well-known but not less important figures” (ix) than contemporaries such as Hannah Arendt or Max Horkheimer. The book complements and expands upon the analyses in David Kettler and Gerhard Lauer’s edited volume Exile, Science, and Bildung: The Contested Legacies of German Émigré Intellectuals (New York, 2005). The essays vary in length and depth, ranging from brief sketches to lengthier analyses. * German Studies Review *Table of Contents1 Preface 2 Werner Jaeger and Robert Ulich: Two Émigré Scholars on Educational Theory 3 Karl Loewenstein: From Public Law to Political Science 4 Hans Rothfels and the Paradoxes of Cosmopolitan Conservatism 5 Woman, Refugee, Historian: The Life and Career of Helene Wieruszowski 6 Between Communism and Anti-Communism: Franz Borkenau 7 Franz L.

State University Press of New York (SUNY) East German Historians since Reunification A
Book SynopsisSurveys how reunification in 1990 impacted historical scholarship in the former East Germany. With German reunification and the demise of the German Democratic Republic in 1990, East German historians and their traditions of historiography were removed from mainstream discourse in Germany and relegated to the periphery. By the mid-1990s, few GDR-trained historians remained in academia. These developments led to a greater degree of intellectual pluralism, yet marginalized many accomplished scholars. East German Historians since Reunification assesses what was gained and lost in the process of dissolving and remaking GDR institutions of historical scholarship. The collection combines primary and secondary sources: younger scholars offer analyses of East German historiography, while senior scholars who lived through the dismantling process provide firsthand accounts. Contributors address broad trends in scholarship as well as particular subfields and institutions. What unites them is a willingness to think critically about the achievements and shortcomings of GDR historiography, and its fate after German reunification.
