Survivors of terrible events are often portrayed as unsung heroes or tragic victims but rarely as complex human beings whose lives extend beyond the stories they have told. Beyond Testimony and Trauma considers other ways to engage with survivors and their accounts based on insights gained from long-term oral history projects in a variety of contexts, including factory closures, industrial injury, eugenics and forced sterilization, the Holocaust, genocide in Rwanda and Cambodia, Argentinian torture camps, the Yugoslav Wars, and Jewish emigration from the Maghreb. The contributors, all innovators in the field of oral history, include Henry Greenspan who provides reflections from forty years of listening to Holocaust survivors as well as an insightful afterword. They demonstrate that – through deep listening, long-term relationship building, and collaborative research design – it is possible to move beyond the problematic aspects of “testimony” to shine light on the more nuanced lives of survivors of mass violence. In the process, they offer alternative approaches to the collection of oral history that will shake the foundations of current historiographical practice.

Otto Wilhelm Kuusinen est surtout connu pour avoir été pendant quinze ans l’un des secrétaires du Komintern, puis plus tard l’un des conseillers de Nikita Krouchtchev. En Finlande même, il incarne pour beaucoup la figure par excellence d’un communisme apatride, lié à « l’ennemi héréditaire ». Il fut pourtant de 1905 à 1918 un dirigeant social démocrate finlandais de premier plan, qui plus est patriote ardent et rédacteur de maints textes réclamant ou préparant l’indépendance du pays en 1917. Le présent ouvrage s’intéresse spécifiquement à cette partie-là de la vie de Kuusinen, non seulement parce qu’elle est souvent occultée, voire négligée par les historiens, mais aussi parce qu’elle pose le problème des continuités et des ruptures dans la vie d’un dirigeant du mouvement ouvrier dont la carrière a embrassé plusieurs époques distinctes. Le but de ce livre n’est toutefois pas d’être simplement une biographie, au sens classique du terme. Il s’agit aussi dans ces pages de comprendre pourquoi un jeune homme, que rien ne prédisposait a priori à devenir un révolutionnaire, s’est découvert et forgé une âme de socialiste, pourquoi il a en outre abandonné ses rêves d’ascension sociale pour embrasser une carrière aléatoire au sein d’un mouvement ouvrier qui lui était à l’origine étranger. Les raisons en fait apparaissent complexes, mêlant des facteurs structurels et conjoncturels, familiaux et sociétaux, individuels et organisationnels. Au total, il apparaît que l’engagement politique, au sens que lui a donné le xxe siècle, ne peut se réduire aux choix d’une personne ; il a également une dimension collective qui l’enracine profondément dans la société qu’il prétend transformer. C’est pourquoi le lecteur pourra découvrir, tout autant que l’individu Kuusinen, la Finlande des années 1881-1918, les mutations socio-économiques qui l’affectent, les débats intellectuels et politiques qui s’y déploient, les espérances et les colères qui animent les contemporains, la dureté enfin…

"Torn between the competing forces of scholarship as a profession and scholarship as a calling - between Babel and the Ivory Tower - the modern academic faces a dilemma: should she or he try to preserve the soul of higher education by cultivating the Muse of personal knowledge, or renounce the Muse and imitate a technician?" "Having come to the end of his own scholarly career, W. David Shaw felt out of place in the technological realm academia has become - where scholars increasingly model their work on that of scientists rather than that of the classical thinkers of the past, and where original ideas often only alienate scholars, rather than enrich them. Thus, Babel and the Ivory Tower is as much a eulogy as an elegy."--BOOK JACKET.

Migration is the talk of the town. On the whole, however, the current situation is seen as resulting from unique political upheavals. Such a-historical interpretations ignore the fact that migration is a fundamental phenomenon in human societies from the beginning and plays a crucial role in the cultural, economic, political and social developments and innovations. So far, however, most studies are limited to the last four centuries, largely ignoring the spectacular advances made in other disciplines which study the ‘deep past’, like anthropology, archaeology, population genetics and linguistics, and that reach back as far as 80.000 years ago. This is the first book that offers an overview of the state of the art in these disciplines and shows how historians and social scientists working in the recent past can profit from their insights.

In de negentiende eeuw bloeide de haven van Antwerpen en dat leidde tot een groeiende aantrekkingskracht op zowel internationale immigranten alsook werkmigranten uit andere hoeken van het land. In dit boek wordt onderzocht hoe de stad Antwerpen omging met buitenlandse nieuwkomers in een periode waarin niet enkel het aantal migratiebewegingen steeg, maar waarin ook de inmenging van de centrale staat alsmaar toenam. Na de onafhankelijkheid van België was de medewerking van de lokale bestuursniveaus aan het vreemdelingenbeleid geen evidentie: de meeste steden in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden hadden van oudsher een sterke traditie van politieke autonomie opgebouwd. Deze studie toont aan hoe de prioriteiten van het stedelijke vreemdelingenbeleid verschilden van die van de nationale staat, en hoe de stad het beleid ten aanzien van buitenlandse nieuwkomers soms bewust selectief toepaste. Het zijn tendens en die ook in de eenentwintigste eeuw nog actueel zijn en die het vreemdelingenbeleid - zowel vroeger als vandaag - vorm geven. -- Quatrième de couverture

There have always been mail-order brides in America--but we haven't always thought about them in the same ways. In Buying a Bride, Marcia A. Zug starts with the so-called "Tobacco Wives" of the Jamestown colony and moves all the way forward to today's modern same-sex mail-order grooms to explore the advantages and disadvantages of mail-order marriage. It's a history of deception, physical abuse, and failed unions. It's also the story of how mail-order marriage can offer women surprising and empowering opportunities. Drawing on a forgotten trove of colorful mail-order marriage court cases, Zug explores the many troubling legal issues that arise in mail-order marriage: domestic abuse and murder, breach of contract, fraud (especially relating to immigration), and human trafficking and prostitution. She tells the story of how mail-order marriage lost the benign reputation it enjoyed in the Civil War era to become more and more reviled over time, and she argues compellingly that it does not entirely deserve its current reputation. While it is a common misperception that women turn to mail-order marriage as a desperate last resort, most mail-order brides are enticed rather than coerced. Since the first mail-order brides arrived on American shores in 1619, mail-order marriage has enabled women to improve both their marital prospects and their legal, political, and social freedoms. Buying A Bride uncovers this history and shows us how mail-order marriage empowers women and should be protected and even encouraged.
