Navigating Socialist Encounters
This edited volume firmly places African history into global history by highlighting connections between African and East German actors and institutions during the Cold War. With a special focus on negotiations and African influences on East Germany (and vice versa), the volume sheds light on personal and institutional agency, cultural cross-fertilization, migration, development, and solidarity.
Rethinking the Anthropology of Islam
The contributions of this volume discuss the broad field of transformation processes in Muslim societies from different perspectives with various disciplinary approaches.

Kwame Nkrumah's Quest for Restoration
Examining Kwame Nkrumah's time in exile, Tunde Adeleke challenges existing and popular understandings of Nkrumah's ideas and struggles. In Kwame Nkrumah's Quest for Restoration: Nkrumaism and Pan-Africanism in Exile Tunde Adeleke examines Kwame Nkrumah's life and the six years he spent in exile in Conakry, Guinea, exploring the extraordinary efforts and resources he invested on attempts to return and regain political power. Adeleke contends that Nkrumah's overthrow and exile compelled him to reimagine, revise, and fundamentally alter the essence of Pan-Africanism. This book shows how Nkurmah spearheaded the Pan-Africanist movement for greater continental unification, deviating from some of the essential values and principles of Pan-Africanism. His time in exile exposed a personality in sharp contrast to the consummate Pan-Africanist memorialized in Black Nationalist discourses. Through textual analysis of Nkrumah's letters and political writings, Adeleke argues that Nkrumah's fundamental change and redirection on Pan-Africanism not only shaped the movement's new purpose but also impacted Ghana.
(Re)Figuring Human Enslavement
"The publications of the interdisciplinary and internationally networked Research Platform "World Order - Religion - Violence" seek to improve our understanding of the relationship between religion, politics and violence. It therefore deals especially with the return of religious themes and symbols into politics, with the analysis of the link between political theory and religion, and finally with the critical discussion of the secularization thesis. At the centre of the research are questions concerning the causes of violent conflict, the possibilities for a just world order and the conditions for peaceful coexistence on a local, regional, national and international/worldwide scale between ...

Die Erste Intifada und der Friedensprozess von Oslo
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: Naher Osten, Vorderer Orient, Note: 2, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Israelis und Palästinenser leben nebeneinander auf einem Gebiet, das in etwa 2/3 der Fläche der Schweiz umfasst. Beide Völker leben in direkter Nachbarschaft, und dennoch ist die Beziehung zwischen ihnen von einer großen Ungleichheit geprägt. Israel kann aufgrund seiner wirtschaftlichen Stärke und Dominanz in der Region als „Land des Nordens“ betrachtet werden, während die palästinensische Gesellschaft durch ihre schwache Stellung gegenüber der Besatzungsmacht zum „Süden“ gezählt werden kann. Die Dominanz Israels ...
Africa and its Historical and Contemporary Diasporas
Africa and its Historical and Contemporary Diasporas edited by Tunde Adeleke and Arno Sonderegger is an interdisciplinary study of the changing and complex nature of the Africa-Black Diaspora relationship. The contributors highlight the problems and challenges of this relationship and provide strategies for developing a more functional and mutually beneficial engagement in a radically changing global environment. This book presents new methodological approaches and research to study the many dimensions and complexities of Africa and its Diasporas. Collectively, this book addresses three vital themes. First, it foregrounds new and emerging forces reshaping the Africa-Black Diaspora nexus. Second, it highlights new and interdisciplinary approaches to “Diaspora” and “Pan-Africanism” (culture, religion, ideology, literature, philosophy, and epistemology). Third, it examines factors infusing the transformation in, and challenges of, African Diaspora and Pan-Africanist collaborations, and possible strategies of strengthening the relationship.
