📣Out now on #firstview! Emile Chabal @emile-chabal.bsky.social, Angéline Escafré-Dublet (Université Lumière Lyon 2) and Daniel A. Gordon @oxhistoryfaculty.bsky.social on 'Insiders and Outsiders: The Historiography of Immigration in France' 👉Read open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The history of immigration has become a dynamic subfield of French history since the 1970s. We examine its origins in both academic and activist milieus, and we consider its development in relation to some of the most important civic debates that have animated the French public sphere. In particular, we explore how histories of immigration expose some of the central concerns of modern French history – about the boundaries of citizenship, the power of the state, and the revolutionary potential of those who are kept on the margins of Frenchness. We also discuss the relationship between French and foreign scholars of immigration, and, by way of conclusion, we consider the future of a field that faces threats from a growing political backlash to immigration.

Nico Lange is currently the best German security expert because he is one of the few political advisers with the clarity of mind to understand that the wars waged by russia's allies in the Middle East and Africa are part of the same war that the russians are waging against the free world.

„Zu diesem legitimen Meinungsspektrum gehört auch ein ethnischer Volksbegriff, der staatsbürgerliche Realitäten vollumfänglich anerkennt, aber eine entsprechende Steuerung von Zuwanderung erlaubt.“ schreibt Kollege Stecker auf den Seiten der Politikwissenschaft der Uni Darmstadt und zündelt weiter.

AfD-stjernen Ulrich Siegmund vil lære tyske barn mindre om Hitler, og mer om patriotisme. Partiorganisasjonen hans er klassifisert som høyreekstrem og antidemokratisk av tysk etterretning, men måler likevel 42 prosent oppslutning før helgens delstatsvalg.

Well, my university library would like us to read all books digitally. However, when I suggest a book for acquisition, I always insist on a paper copy. EBooks often limit the number of pages/chapters you are allowed to print or download, thus making them completely useless for research and teaching.
