Description
Hasta alrededor de 1900, el concepto de »afro« no existía en la historia de las esclavitudes. Las denominaciones de origen africano servían para menospreciar a los esclavos en la esclavitud atlántica. Se temía una »africanización« de la sociedad en las Américas. Ningún esclavo o ex esclavo se hubiera descrito a sí mismo como »afro«. Fernando Ortiz desarrolló el concepto en su libro Hampa-afrocubana como seguidor de Cesare Lombroso (1906)....

What could certainly be termed a turn in the study of slavery has also intensified...

Description
In the recent cultural heritage boom, community-based and national identity projects are intertwined with interest in cultural tourism and sites of the memory of enslavement. Questions of historical guilt and present responsibility have become a source of social conflict, particularly in multicultural societies with an enslaving past. This became apparent in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, when statues of enslavers and colonizers...

Description
Given that strong asymmetrical dependencies have shaped human societies throughout history, this kind of social relation has also left its traces in many types of texts. Using written and oral narratives in attempts to reconstruct the history of asymmetrical dependency comes along with various methodological challenges, as the 15 articles in this interdisciplinary volume illustrate. They focus on a wide range of different (factual and fictional) text...

Description
As part of the German Jewish Cultural Heritage project, the expert contributors to this volume examine the cultural influence of the German-speaking Jewish intelligentsia around the world. This influence continues to be felt in many countries of origin and exile without being adequately reflected in collective consciousness. This volume makes a substantive contribution to the search for traces of German-speaking Jewish culture in the wake of emigration.
