The 1840 Rhodes Blood Libel

Ottoman Jews at the Dawn of the Tanzimat Era

Borovaya, O.

Based on newly discovered Ottoman and Jewish sources and using a legal lens on Levantine practices, The 1840 Rhodes Blood Libel argues that the acquittal of Rhodian Jews following a ritual murder charge is only adequately understood in the context of the Tanzimat and the Sublime Porte’s foreign relations, and in the context of a shared Ottoman and Jewish history.

The Absent Jews

Kurt Forstreuter and the Historiography of Medieval Prussia

Hess, C.

For nearly a century, it has been a commonplace of Central European history that there were no Jews in medieval Prussia. This groundbreaking historical investigation demonstrates the very weak foundations upon which that assumption rests, tracing it to the ideologically compromised work of a single Nazi-era historian who badly mishandled evidence.

Alsace to the Alsatians?

Visions and Divisions of Alsatian Regionalism, 1870-1939

Fischer, C. J.

The region of Alsace, located between the hereditary enemies of France and Germany, served as a trophy of war four times between 1870–1945. With each shift, French and German officials sought to win the allegiance of the local populace. In response to these pressures, Alsatians invoked regionalism—articulated as a political language, a cultural vision, and a community of identity—not only to define and defend their own interests against the nationalist claims of France and Germany, but also to push for social change, defend religious rights, and promote the status of the region within the larger national community.

Anti-liberal Europe

A Neglected Story of Europeanization

Gosewinkel, D. (ed)

The history of modern Europe is often presented with the hindsight of present-day European integration, which was a genuinely liberal project based on political and economic freedom. Many other visions for Europe developed in the 20th century, however, were based on an idea of community rooted in pre-modern religious ideas, cultural or ethnic homogeneity, or even in coercion and violence. Anti-liberal Europe examines these visions, including those of anti-modernist Catholics, conservatives, extreme rightists as well as communists, arguing that antiliberal concepts in 20th century Europe were not the counterpart to, but instead part of the process of European integration.

The Armenian Genocide

Evidence from the German Foreign Office Archives, 1915-1916

Gust, W. (ed)

The 1915-1916 annihilation of the Armenians was the archetype of modern genocide, in which a state adopts a specific scheme geared to the destruction of an identifiable group of its own citizens. Official German diplomatic documents are of great importance in understanding the genocide, as only Germany had the right to report day-by-day in secret code about the ongoing genocide. The motives, methods, and after-effects of the Armenian Genocide echoed strongly in subsequent cases of state-sponsored genocide. Studying the factors that went into the Armenian Genocide not only gives us an understanding of historical genocide, but also provides us with crucial information for the anticipation and possible prevention of future genocides.

This collection of essays examines German-language cultural production pertaining to modern China and Japan, and explicitly challenges orientalist notions by proposing a conception of East and West not as opposites, but as complementary elements of global culture, thereby urging a move beyond national paradigms in cultural studies. Essays focus on the mid-century German-Japanese alliance, Chinese-German Leftist collaborations, global capitalism, travel, identity, and cultural hybridity. The authors include historians and scholars of film and literature, and employ a wide array of approaches from postcolonial, globalization, media, and gender studies. The collection sheds new light on a complex and ambivalentset of international relationships, while also testifying to the potential of Asian German Studies.

Transnational and Cross-Cultural Exchanges in (Post)Colonial Education

Bagchi, B., Fuchs, E. & Rousmaniere, K. (eds)

The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.

It emphasizes that the ways in which we currently understand “conservation” in the West, which is generally presumed to be a modern invention, are deeply rooted in the environmental practices and regulation of medieval and early modern Europe.

A Transnational History of the Swiss National Park

The history of the Swiss National Park, from its creation in the years before the Great War to the present, is told for the first time in this book. The Swiss park became the prime example of a “scientific national park,” thereby influencing the course of national parks worldwide. Creating Wilderness consequently situates the park’s fascinating history within a transnational conservation framework.

Creole Identity in Postcolonial Indonesia

Knörr, J.

Contributing to identity formation in ethnically and religiously diverse postcolonial societies, this book examines the role played by creole identity in Indonesia, and in particular its capital, Jakarta. While, on the one hand, it facilitates transethnic integration and promotes a specifically postcolonial sense of common nationhood due to its heterogeneous origins, creole groups of people are often perceived ambivalently in the wake of colonialism and its demise, on the other. In this book, Jacqueline Knörr analyzes the social, historical, and political contexts of creoleness both at the grassroots and the State level, showing how different sections of society engage with creole identity in order to promote collective identification transcending ethnic and religious boundaries, as well as for reasons of self-interest and ideological projects.

He also visited numerous sites personally, which lends him a further layer of authority over his subject matter and allows him to make observations on how quickly certain spatial elements of socialist sepulchral culture are disappearing.” · Heléna Tóth, Ludwig Maximilians Universität, Munich

The Historical Consumption of Slaves and Foreigners and the Cannibalistic Trade in Human Flesh

Siefkes, C.

While human cannibalism has attracted considerable notice and controversy, certain aspects of the practice have received scant attention. These include the connection between cannibalism and xenophobia: the capture and consumption of unwanted strangers. Likewise ignored is the connection to slavery: the fact that in some societies slaves and persons captured in slave raids could be, and were, killed and eaten. This book explores these largely forgotten practices and ignored connections.

The Enemy on Display

The Second World War in Eastern European Museums

Bogumił, Z., Wawrzyniak, J., Buchen, T., Ganzer, C. & Senina, M.

Eastern European museums represent the traumatic events of World War II, such as the Siege of Leningrad, the Warsaw Uprisings, and the bombardment of Dresden, in ways that cast the enemy in a specific light. This image results from the interweaving of historical representations, cultural stereotypes and beliefs, political discourses, and the dynamics of exhibition narratives. This book presents a useful methodology for examining museum images and provides a critical analysis of the role historical museums play in the contemporary world. As the catastrophes of World War II still exert an enormous influence over the national identities of Russians, Poles, and Germans, museum exhibits can play an important role in this process.

“While there is a lot of information for readers to take in, the subject is inherently complex, spanning different aspects of French foreign policy and the politics of other countries and institutions. In spite of this complexity, Martin displays a good grasp of the material. The book is the product of archival research in England, France, and the United States, as well as engagement with published collections and the relevant secondary literature on the topic. Martin has thus covered most of his bases.” · H-France Review

“[The book] is extremely well researched, well written, and Martin accomplishes his stated objective: namely, to provide a more balanced account of de Gaulle that goes beyond views of him as either a visionary, or an irresponsible and anti-American nationalist…Martin’s analysis makes a unique contribution in that it examines the linkages between the General's economic, political and security policy in order to understand how the three came together to shape his overall policy toward the US.” · Erin Mahan, Chief Historian, Office of the Secretary of Defense
