Genocide Denials and the Law
In Genocide Denials and the Law, Ludovic Hennebel and Thomas Hochmann offer a thorough study of the relationship between law and genocide denial from the perspectives of specialists from six countries. This controversial topic provokes strong international reactions involving emotion caused by denial along with concerns about freedom of speech. The authors offer an in-depth study of the various legal issues raised by the denial of crimes against humanity, presenting arguments both in favor of and in opposition to prohibition of this expression.

The Irritating Zen Master
Zen Master Udo is really irritating, and dangerous too when the razors fly but you can you love him? Well, maybe, perhaps, after enough Fiery Jack to blow your brains onto the ceiling. His pupil, Crudo Bhappat, is never sure but at least he has the consolation of being married to the lovely Jasmintha and owns a fine donkey for a pet. And he is a better footballer than Udo and has gorgeous hair. But, somehow Udo, Zen Master extraordinaire, always has the upper hand, the last word, the wise punch line. Or does he? Is he simply an aggressive misogynist with a few good wrestling moves? Or is he the cleverest man in Aberdabubajerstan? Do we really care? Travel the Silk Road to China, er, possibly, to find out.

German-Jewish Cultural Identity from 1900 to the Aftermath of the First World War
Despite the formal emancipation of German Jews in 1869-71, they were not integrated into German society. German Jewish intellectuals felt their socio-cultural inequality especially acutely. Examines how three such intellectuals of the first post-emancipatory generation solved the dilemma of being simultaneously Jews and Germans at a time when the spearhead of antisemitic hatred turned against assimilated Jews rather than those who were culturally alien. Of these, the writer and Zionist Moritz Goldstein (1880-1977) chose to remain a Jew in the national and cultural sense. He maintained that it was assimilation that brought about the new kind of cultural antisemitism. The literary critic Julius Bab (1880-1957) believed that he was able to preserve his double German and Jewish identity. The poet Ernst Lissauer (1882-1937) advocated the complete Germanization of the Jews. Paradoxically, his super-patriotic "Song of Hatred against England" caused an antisemitic backlash during and after World War I. Both World War I and the Nazi takeover caused them to revise their views on the perspectives of German-Jewish coexistence.
