“John Quincy Adams warned Americans not to search abroad for monsters to destroy, yet such figures have frequently habituated the discourses of U.S. foreign policy,” offers a succinct summation of newly published U.S. Foreign Policy and the Other. Following, editors Michael Patrick Cullinane and David Ryan use Herman Melville’s classic Moby Dick as a cautionary tale, explaining that the U.S. should revise its policy of “othering” to avoid a fate similar to that of Captain Ahab and crew.
____________________________
Herman Melville’s Moby Dick persists in literary history as one of the greatest American novels. The book takes readers on a terminal voyage in the Pequod as it sails over oceans in search of a monstrous white whale that robbed its captain, Captain Ahab, of his leg on an earlier expedition. As literature goes, this classic depicts the struggle for identity, identification, and the distinctiveness between the self and the “other.”

The following is a guest blog post written by Paolo Gaibazzi, Social Anthropologist and Research Fellow at the Centre for Modern Oriental Studies (ZMO). Gaibazzi is also the author of Bush Bound: Young Men and Rural Permanence in Migrant West Africa. Below, Gaibazzi discusses how ‘staying put’ may shed light on current West African migrations.
How can the experience of a small, migrant-sending West African village contribute thoughts on the current migration crisis in Europe? Sabi is a rural community in the Gambia River valley with a long history of male international emigration in which I have had the privilege to live and do research. The resulting book – titled Bush Bound – is an account of how migration pervades everyday life in the community, but especially of how people continue staying on the land. I suggest that this small but significant laboratory of (im)mobility might help us rethink the assumptions about freedom, movement and sedentariness informing, and often distorting, European debates about African immigration.

We are especially excited to announce the publication of Final Sale in Berlin, by Christoph Kreutzmüller.
“Christoph Kreutzmüller’s book is vigorously researched, elegantly structured and well-written, and succeeds in providing new information on a subject already exhaustively studied, namely ‘Aryanization’ and the destruction of business, that extends beyond the borders of Berlin.” · H-Soz-u-Kult
