"Emmett Curran's masterful treatment of American Catholicism in the Civil War era is the first comprehensive history of the denomination in the North and South before, during, and after the war. It is the story of how the momentous developments of these decades impacted the Catholic community and how Catholics contributed to the reshaping of a nation that survived the greatest threat to its preservation that it has ever faced. It is also a significant part of the story of how the revolution that the war touched off remained unfinished, indeed was turned backward, in no small part by Catholics whose pursuit of "equality" was marred by a truncated vision of who deserved to share in its realization. Throughout early American history, most Protestants considered Catholics to be internal aliens, incapable of becoming full citizens because faith trumped nationality in determining their ultimate allegiance. By the mid-nineteenth century, conversions and immigration threatened to make them the nation's largest Christian denomination, a prospect particularly alarming to evangelical Protestants. By the late 1840s, most Catholics were foreign-born urban dwellers in the North. That startling demographic change revitalized a nativism that became a major political force, in large part by depicting Catholics as a danger to the republic. In the political realignment of the 1850s over immigration and slavery, Catholics became the backbone of the northern wing of a Democratic Party committed to both. During the Civil War, Catholics on both sides took pride in their transnational religious allegiance, a bond transcending sectional conflict. Most Catholics also shared a commitment to slavery. Northern Catholics initially supported the war since its goal was to preserve the Union, not abolish slavery. Catholics in the border states became part of the minority favoring the Confederacy, but for many northern Catholics, Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, in violating the property protections that the Constitution provided, delegitimized the war. In the press, in secret organizations, and in the streets, Catholics increasingly denounced the centralization of power and suppression of civil liberties to which the Lincoln administration resorted. Resistance to the war by Catholics became increasingly violent, culminating in the New York City riot of July 1863. Catholics became vital members of the Sons of Liberty and other organizations which sought to force a peace settlement by whatever means necessary. They were also part of the conspiracy to kidnap President Lincoln, which morphed into the president's assassination. That complicity exacerbated charges of disloyalty that Catholic resistance to the war had stirred over its latter course. Still, Catholics expected to secure, from their war service, an unprecedented equality of place among their fellow citizens, part of the "new birth of freedom" that Lincoln had proclaimed at Gettysburg. A racially restrictive vision of the American promise led Catholics to approach Reconstruction as a restoration of the old order. Catholics, particularly in Virginia and Louisiana, played key roles in "redeeming" the South from Republican governments. Catholics were prominent in the creation and promotion of Lost Cause mythology, which largely curtailed the pursuit of equality that had been a core part of the nation's mission since its inception. Catholics had known for generations the consequences of being treated inequitably. Nevertheless, when the moment came to be part of a revolution to right this historic imbalance for everyone, most white Catholics could not rise above their tribal interests to treat equality as something more than a zero-sum commodity"--

In the last decades, historical myths have been revived in Eastern Europe: "Folk culture" or religious traditions contribute just as much to politics of national identity as do memorials of modern history, such as within the context of athletics or pop culture. Focusing on Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia as well as Ukraine, the contributions found in this volume ethnographically explore this re-discovery of nationalism from the perspective of cultural studies. They illuminate the causes and specifics of these current developments in post-socialist countries and examine the consequences they have on the European process of unification.

Ostdeutsche Kleinstädte gelten häufig als der idealtypische Ort für rechtsradikale Strukturen und deren Aktivisten. Der Autor untersucht in seiner Studie den Umgang von Flüchtlingen, MigrantInnen und nicht-rechten Jugendlichen in Städten, die von einer rassistischen Dominanz geprägt sind. Die lokalen Aushandlungskonflikte um das "Recht auf Stadt" manifestieren sich für diese Gruppen in einer spezifischen sozialräumlichen Topologie der Stadt - einer Machtgeographie der alltäglichen Bewegungsmöglichkeiten. Der kontingente Charakter dieser symbolischen Ordnungen der Städte verdeutlicht die Bedeutung und Wirksamkeit eines lokalen Engagements nicht nur gegen die Präsenz von Neonazis, sondern auch gegen Formen eines strukturellen Rassismus wie etwa der Residenzpflicht oder der Lagerunterbringung von Flüchtlingen. Die Untersuchung verbindet Zugänge der Sozialgeographie und der empirischen Kulturwissenschaften, in einer Forschungskonzeption zur lokal-spezifischen Kleinstadtkultur in Ostdeutschland.

Die Autoren weisen in der Einleitung ihres Datenreports darauf hin, dass die Bundesrepublik Deutschland die EU-Gleichheitsrichtlinien 2000/43/EC und 2000/78/EC im untersuchten Zeitraum nicht umgesetzt hat und dass es daher an einem umfassenden rechtlichen Rahmen zur Antidiskriminierung mangelt. Dies beeinflusst auch negativ die vorliegende Datenlage zur Diskriminierung, die Erfolgsrate von Zivilprozessen und den Grad der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit für Diskriminierung. Die Autoren stellen in ihrem Bericht die Maßnahmen gegen ethnische Diskriminierung im Zeitraum 2000-2005 jeweils für die Bereiche Beschäftigung, Wohnverhältnisse, Recht, Bildung und rassistische Gewalt/Straftat detailliert dar. Sie zeichnen darüber hinaus die öffentliche Debatte zur ethnischen Diskriminierung im untersuchten Zeitraum nach. Eine größere gesellschaftliche und politische Aufmerksamkeit erlangte die Debatte über Rassismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit demnach nur gegen Ende des Jahres 2000 und führte aufgrund der drastisch gestiegenen Anzahl rechtsextremischer Anschläge zu zahlreichen Initiativen, wie z.B. zum staatlichen Aktionsprogramm "Jugend für Toleranz und Demokratie - gegen Rechtsextremismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Antisemitismus".

Rassismus ist politisch und das Politische ist geprägt von Rassismus. In vielen Teilen der deutschen Gesellschaft stehen sich Befürworter*innen der Homogenität und Vielfaltsbegeisterte unversöhnlich gegenüber. Der Autor analysiert die posthomogene Gesellschaft und zeigt, dass rassistische Politiken zum Kerngeschäft der Verfechter*innen der Homogenität gehören. Seine postkoloniale Kritik untersucht die tieferliegenden Gründe hierfür und liefert zugleich eine kritische Intervention in die (politik-)wissenschaftliche Forschung. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Rassismus weit mehr ist als Diskriminierung und Benachteiligung: Rassismus ist eine politische Ideologie.

Den Hintergrund dieser Untersuchung bildet das Ende der jahrzehntelang von Moskau propagierten sowjetischen Antisemitismuspolitik. Es wird die Frage untersucht, ob die staatliche Antisemitismuspolitik der vergangenen Jahrzehnte endgültig zu existieren aufgehört hat, und - falls dies bejaht werden kann - wie sie sich auf die posttotalitäre Gesellschaft in drei ausgewählten Nachfolgestaaten der UdSSR ausgewirkt hat. Dabei wird die Situation auswahlweise in Rußland und - als Vergleich - in der Ukraine und in Litauen untersucht, ohne bei der Betrachtung des Antisemitismus die historischen und kulturellen Unterschiede dieser drei Länder außer acht zu lassen.
