Jetzt wird die Sarrazin-Geschichte offenbar neu geschrieben: Zum neueren Rechtsruck/Zur Faschisierung gehört, dass ihre vormaligen (und ja immer nur zur Hälfte) diskreditierten "Vordenker" rehabilitiert und rückwirkend anerkannt werden, damit es in der Gegenwart ideologisch auch wieder passt.

Die ZEIT entschuldigt sich bei Thilo Sarrazin, dass sie damals seine eugenischen Auslassungen kritisch kommentiert hat, sowas komme nicht wieder vor, schliesslich seien die Erkenntnisse der Rassenhygiene ja jetzt der allgemein anerkannte Forschungsstand, sorry nochmal #Faschisierung

'The longer I have spent in this field, the more convinced I have become that much of the research culture activity that helps individuals navigate and survive harmful institutional systems may inadvertently help those systems survive, too. I call this the paradox of “compensatory culture work.”'

Some research culture work may be sustaining the practices it seeks to change

Really pleased to share my (open access!) article on immigration control in early modern England, feat. rights-bearing subjects, rightsless migrants, and experiments in immigration control

The Historical Journal@historicaljnl.bsky.social · 4mo ago

📣Out now on #firstview Kathleen Commons @kabcommons.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social on 'Discovering ‘Immigration Control’ in England, c. 1540 – c. 1640' #Migration #History #EarlyModern #England #Immigration 📜 16thc 17thc 👉Read open access here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Migration history is a growing field – yet the legal status of migrants in early modern England has not yet been investigated in detail. Reconstructing the legal system that governed migrants in early modern England does not just add significant depth and nuance to histories of migration and migrants, but also provides fresh insight into the status of English subjects. Furthermore, it enables historians to trace longer histories of the exclusion of migrants from rights in England and Britain. This article reconstructs the common law governance of migrants between c. 1540 and c. 1640, showing how common law principles and practices excluded migrants from the rights-bearing status of English subjects. Rather than being governed by the law, migrants were substantively governed under prerogative, a form of governance repeatedly resisted by English subjects. Although some migrants could access (unstable) liberties granted under prerogative, for the most part migrants were also subject to discriminatory local byelaws and licences and commissions granted by the crown for their exploitation. The repeated ‘molestation’ of migrants by informers for working contrary to statute, and petitions against this harassment from migrants suggest this early modern system of immigration control was relatively well understood by both subjects and migrants.
