Book Description
Die Ausgabe beschäftigt sich mit Menschen aus der früheren Sowjetunion in der Diaspora, ihren Migrationserfahrungen, ihrem täglichen Leben und ihren Sinngebungsprozessen. Untersucht werden die komplexen Geschichten, Gegenwartsrealitäten und Zukunftserwartungen, die alle durch verschiedene räumlich-zeitliche Ordnungen und ihre Wechselbeziehungen geprägt sind. Der Blick richtet sich dabei auf die produktiven Synergien zwischen Konzepten wie 'Diaspora' und 'Postsozialismus', die durch Migrationsprozesse begünstigt werden. Wie werden neue Verbindungen geknüpft und Trennungen überwunden? Wie werden vergangene Erfahrungen in postmigrantischen Kontexten neu eingebunden und rekonfiguriert? Durch die Zusammenführung verschiedener Perspektiven über unterschiedliche örtliche und zeitliche Zusammenhänge hinweg und die Anwendung verschiedener Methoden und disziplinärer Zugänge wird eine umfassende Analyse der Komplexität und der Mehrdeutigkeiten sowohl individueller Narrative als auch gesellschaftlicher Dynamiken ermöglicht.

Unequal under Socialism
Author: Miglena S. Todorova
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487528434
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Unequal under Socialism examines the formation of racial, gender, and national identities and relations in the socialist state. With a specific focus on Bulgaria, a former socialist country in the Balkans, Miglena S. Todorova traces the intertwined local and global forces driving racialization, socialist state policies, and Eurocentric Marxist and Leninist ideologies, all of which led to valued and devalued categories of women. Roma women, Muslim women, ethnic Bulgarian women, sex workers, and female factory and office workers were among those marked by socialist authorities for prosperity, accommodation, violent reformation, or erasure. Covering the period from the 1930s to the present and drawing upon original archival sources as well as a constellation of critical theories, Unequal under Socialism focuses on the lives of different women to articulate deep doubt about the capacity of socialism to sustain societies where all women prosper. Such doubt, the book suggests, is an under-recognized but important force shaping how women in former socialist countries have related to one another and to other women in the global North and South.

The Other Special Relationship
Author: R. Kelley
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137392703
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The close diplomatic, economic, and military ties that comprising the "special relationship" between the United States and Great Britain have received plenty of attention from historians over the years. Less frequently noted are the countries' shared experiences of empire, white supremacy, racial inequality, and neoliberalism - and the attendant struggles for civil rights and political reform that have marked their recent history. This state-of-the-field collection traces the contours of this other "special relationship," exploring its implications for our understanding of the development of an internationally interconnected civil rights movement. Here, scholars from a range of research fields contribute essays on a wide variety of themes, from solidarity protests to calypso culture to white supremacy.

Redefining Russian Literary Diaspora, 1920-2020
Author: Maria Rubins
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1787359417
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Over the century that has passed since the start of the massive post-revolutionary exodus, Russian literature has thrived in multiple locations around the globe. What happens to cultural vocabularies, politics of identity, literary canon and language when writers transcend the metropolitan and national boundaries and begin to negotiate new experience gained in the process of migration? Redefining Russian Literary Diaspora, 1920-2020 sets a new agenda for the study of Russian diaspora writing, countering its conventional reception as a subsidiary branch of national literature and reorienting the field from an excessive emphasis on the homeland and origins to an analysis of transnational circulations that shape extraterritorial cultural practices. Integrating a variety of conceptual perspectives, ranging from diaspora and postcolonial studies to the theories of translation and self-translation, World Literature and evolutionary literary criticism, the contributors argue for a distinct nature of diasporic literary expression predicated on hybridity, ambivalence and a sense of multiple belonging. As the complementary case studies demonstrate, diaspora narratives consistently recode historical memory, contest the mainstream discourses of Russianness, rewrite received cultural tropes and explore topics that have remained marginal or taboo in the homeland. These diverse discussions are framed by a focused examination of diaspora as a methodological perspective and its relevance for the modern human condition.

Sephardic Jews in America
Author: Aviva Ben-Ur
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814725198
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
A significant number of Sephardic Jews, tracing their remote origins to Spain and Portugal, immigrated to the United States from Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans from 1880 through the 1920s, joined by a smaller number of Mizrahi Jews arriving from Arab lands. Most Sephardim settled in New York, establishing the leading Judeo-Spanish community outside the Ottoman Empire. With their distinct languages, cultures, and rituals, Sephardim and Arab-speaking Mizrahim were not readily recognized as Jews by their Ashkenazic coreligionists. At the same time, they forged alliances outside Jewish circles with Hispanics and Arabs, with whom they shared significant cultural and linguistic ties. The failure among Ashkenazic Jews to recognize Sephardim and Mizrahim as fellow Jews continues today. More often than not, these Jewish communities are simply absent from portrayals of American Jewry. Drawing on primary sources such as the Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) press, archival documents, and oral histories, Sephardic Jews in America offers the first book-length academic treatment of their history in the United States, from 1654 to the present, focusing on the age of mass immigration.
