Experienced Life and Narrated Life Story
How do people narrate events in their life story and in the history of their family or families when making a self-presentation? How are narratives and experiences in the present related to experiences and narratives in the past? This book answers these questions with a theoretical and empirical study of the interconnections between remembering, experiencing, and presenting what was experienced, at different points of the life course and of the associated collective histories. It also discusses rules for conducting interviews that support processes of remembering, and for carrying out an analysis that does justice to this dialectic. The author exploits ideas from phenomenology and Gestalt theory in this book, which has become a classic. Since its first publication in 1995, she has increasingly taken inspiration from the figurational sociology of Norbert Elias. Accordingly, this English edition contains a new introduction and a new chapter on this later expansion of her approach to sociological biographical research.

Identity, Belonging and Human Rights: A Multi-Disciplinary Perspective
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. This edited volume explores the concepts of identity and belonging, by bringing together both chapters that engage with the two terms on a theoretical and a more practical level. The theoretical chapters, found in Part I of the volume, explore dilemmas and difficult questions that have to do with identity and belonging, while the more practical contributions, found in Part II of the volume, discuss the effects of identity and belonging in our everyday lives. The final chapters, found in Part III, seek to take the discussion on identity and belonging further and explore how these twin concepts relate to and can be seen through the prism of human rights.

Anja Schmidt-Kleinert examines the case of young Israelis who are actively engaged with the nationalist Yisra'el Beitenu party, led by the Israeli minister of defense, Avigdor Lieberman.
