Abstract:

The end of the First World War saw a shift in the political expectations of the national elites in East Central Europe from autonomy to national sovereignty. The acceptance of democratic values and promise of social improvement informed the debate over the meaning of national self-determination and forms of its implementation. In this context, the reality of an ethnically mixed population presented a challenge. While cultural autonomy continued to occupy an important place in the political thought of especially Jewish and German communities, generally the vision of a unitary nation became domi

Abstract:

The First World War quintessentially defined the future of ‘minorities’ on the Continent of Europe. Even before representatives met at Versailles, a number of determined national movements had engaged in bloody campaigns bent on independence or unification with their ethnic kin. Still larger numbers of ‘small peoples’ endeavoured to integrate themselves into the norms and cultures of their home states. Likewise, governments of the era were often compelled to make peace with the demographic, political, and economic realities that “national” minority populations. The arrival of refugees and migr

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the first manifestations of Islam in America from the eighteenth century to 1975. The first US Muslims were West African Sunnis who had been deported through the transatlantic slave trade. Most came from Senegal, Gambia, and Guinea. Despite being enslaved in a Christian land, they maintained their faith, and evidence shows that some continued to pray, fast, give charity, and follow a particular diet and dress code. Their literacy was well known and manuscripts they wrote in Arabic have been preserved. Part of their legacy can still be heard in American music. After their

Black South African choral music has a rich and complex history rooted in the cultures and communities that first gave voice to it, in modern times contributing to the anti-apartheid struggle and the fight against AIDS. In striving to perform this world music authentically, Western choirs can introduce a sense of solidarity with and understanding of South African people, whose music is often oversimplified and westernized in published arrangements and transcriptions. This chapter provides an overview of techniques and resources directors can use in teaching this repertoire to choirs. Focus on

The book explores the transformation of three northwestern Russian towns from provincial backwaters into the symbolic homelands of the Soviet and Russian nations. The book's central argument is that the Soviet state exploited the cultural heritage of the Northwest to craft patriotic narratives of the people's genius, heroism, and strength that could bind the nation together after 1945.

Abstract:

This concluding chapter presents the four key discursive processes and scripts that may be pertinent to other sites and regions racialized as black across Afro-Latin America. First is the systematic use of “black” as a category that people attach to spaces and communities via metaphors and symbols that racialize particular communities and bodies, while constructing the rest of the nation as nonblack. Second, discourses of benevolent slavery bolster the racialization of such communities as exceptional by creating sites of “condensed slavery,” where the historical effects of bondage are exaggera

In the decades since it was identified in 1981, HIV/AIDS has devastated African American communities.

They struggled not only to overcome the stigma and denial surrounding a “white gay disease” in Black America, but also to bring resources to struggling communities that were often dismissed as too “hard to reach.” To Make the Wounded Whole offers the first history of African American AIDS activism in all of its depth and breadth.

Ever since independence, revolts and riots in North Africa have structured relations between society and the state. While the state has always managed to restore order, the unexpected outbreak of the Arab Spring revolts has presented a real challenge to state stability.

Earned Citizenship first applies the principle of civic membership as reciprocity to support the argument that military service by unauthorized immigrants in particular merits naturalization in the United States, given its strong citizen-soldier tradition.

The division of Germany separated a nation, divided communities, and inevitably shaped the life histories of those growing up in the socialist dictatorship of the East and the liberal democracy of the West.

What has been much less explored, however, is what division meant to the millions of Germans in East and West who lived far away from the Wall and the centres of political power.

This book uses the Catholic parish to view Mexican immigration and ethnicity in the United States with a focus on Chicago. For Mexican immigrants, the parish had an Americanizing influence on its members. At the same time, many Mexican Americans gained a sense of mexicanidad by participating in the parish’s religious and social events. This process of building a Mexican identity and community in Chicago began in the 1920s. The first parishes served as refuges and as centers of community and identity.

History emerged as a professional discipline with the establishment of new state-sponsored institutions of research and teaching. Attached to the institutionalization was the political imperative of a newly independent nation in search of a coherent and comprehensive historical narrative to support its nation-building efforts. At the same time, there was a desire to establish an autonomous Indian perspective, free of colonial constraints and distorti

This chapter introduces three theses that guide the subsequent chapters’ history of Catholic social teaching on the economy. The first is that the church needs a “theology of interruption” to respond adequately to the condition of postmodernity. The church must neither reject the world nor fully embrace it but, rather, live out the distinctive Christian narrative in the world while remaining open to God’s presence in the Other. The second thesis is that running through the church’s social teaching is an organicist communitarianism that sees local communities and associations as a central part
