This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,1, Technical University of Chemnitz, 28 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Gegenstand dieser Magisterarbeit ist die deutsche Auswanderung in die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika im Zeitraum von 1800 bis 1914. Eine Besonderheit stellt dabei sicherlich die Ber cksichtigung der R ckwanderung nach Deutschland dar. Anders als in den meisten Werken zum Thema Auswanderung wird hier auf die Auswirkung der Erfahrungen, welche im Zielland gemacht wurden, im Hinblick auf die m gliche Entscheidung zur R ckkehr in die Heimat eingegangen. In der heutigen medialen Berichterstattung wird ein teilweise zu einseitiges, in jedem Falle aber ein zu romantisierendes Bild der Auswanderung als Abenteuer vermittelt. Der Prozess der Migration galt jedoch seit jeher nicht nur als Hoffnungstr ger f r konomisch, sozial, politisch oder religi s Benachteiligte und Unterdr ckte. F r viele war und ist Auswanderung der letzte, quasi unausweichliche Ausweg aus einer inakzeptablen Existenz im Heimatland. Dass die transkontinentale Wanderung, speziell w hrend der ra der Massenwanderung im 19. Jahrhundert, mit zahlreichen Gefahren, Entbehrungen und Strapazen verbunden war, wird gern vergessen zu erw hnen. Diese Arbeit soll Aufschluss ber die Schicksale von Auswanderern und den Akt dieser Migration geben, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der Betrachtung der negativen Erfahrungen liegt.
Download or read book German Immigration and Servitude in America 1709 1920 written by Farley Grubb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the most comprehensive history of German migration to North America for the period 1709 to 1920 than has been done before. Employing state-of-the-art methodological and statistical techniques, the book has two objectives. First he explores how the recruitment and shipping markets for immigrants were set up, determining what the voyage was like in terms of the health outcomes for the passengers, and identifying the characteristics of the immigrants in terms of family, age, and occupational compositions and educational attainments. Secondly he details how immigrant servitude worked, by identifying how important it was to passenger financing, how shippers profited from carrying immigrant servants, how the labor auction treated immigrant servants, and when and why this method of financing passage to America came to an end.

Download or read book A History of Migration from Germany to Canada 1850 1939 written by Jonathan Wagner and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human migration figures prominently in modern world history, and has played a pivotal role in shaping the Canadian national state. Yet while much has been written about Canada's multicultural heritage, little attention has been paid to German migrants although they compose Canada's third largest European ethnic minority. A History of Migration from Germany to Canada, 1850-1939 addresses that gap in the record. Jonathan Wagner considers why Germans left their home country, why they chose to settle in Canada, who assisted their passage, and how they crossed the ocean to their new home, as well as how the Canadian government perceived and solicited them as immigrants. He examines the German context as closely as developments in Canada, offering a new, more complete approach to German-Canadian immigration. This book will appeal to students of German Canadiana, as well as to those interested in Canadian ethnic history, and European and modern international migration.
Download or read book Germans as Minorities during the First World War written by Panikos Panayi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a global comparative perspective on the relationship between German minorities and the majority populations amongst which they found themselves during the First World War, this collection addresses how ’public opinion’ (the press, parliament and ordinary citizens) reacted towards Germans in their midst. The volume uses the experience of Germans to explore whether the War can be regarded as a turning point in the mistreatment of minorities, one that would lead to worse manifestations of racism, nationalism and xenophobia later in the twentieth century.
Download or read book In Search of Peace and Prosperity written by Hartmut Lehmann and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together essays by leading German and American historians on the subject of German emigration in the eighteenth century when Germans were moving to a variety of destinations: Russia, Prussian Lithuania, and various other German territories as well as North America.What drove men and women from different regional and social backgrounds to leave their homes during this time? Some migrations were forced, as for the Mennonites, the Salzburger emigrants, and the French Huguenots; some were voluntary and determined by the wish for one's own land and greater social and economic opportunity. In all groups, religion was a prominent motivator and primary element of social identification and cohesion. Inevitably, migrants carried with them traditional skills and other indispensable cultural "baggage." A key strength of this book is that contributors emphasize the mutual exchanges that occurred among cultures.

Download or read book The Political Fragmentation of Germany written by Zef M. Segal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the development of German territorial states in the nineteenth century through the prism of five Mittelstaaten: Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, Württemberg, and Baden. It asks how a state becomes a place, and argues that it involves a contested and multi-faceted process, one of slow and uneven progress. The study approaches this question from a new and crucial angle, that of spatiality and public mobility. The issues covered range from the geography of state apparatus, the aesthetics of German cartography and the trajectories of public movement. Challenging the belief that territorial delimitation is primarily a matter of policy and diplomacy, this book reveals that political territories are constructed through daily practices and imagination.

Download or read book Germany s Colonial Pasts written by Eric Ames and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany’s Colonial Pasts is a wide-ranging study of German colonialism and its legacies. Inspired by Susanne Zantop’s landmark book Colonial Fantasies, and extending her analyses there, this volume offers new research by scholars from Europe, Africa, and the United States. It also commemorates Zantop’s distinguished life and career (1945–2001). Some essays in this volume focus on Germany’s formal colonial empire in Africa and the Pacific between 1884 and 1914, while others present material from earlier or later periods such as German emigration before 1884 and colonial discourse in German-ruled Polish lands. Several essays examine Germany’s postcolonial era, a complex period that includes the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany with its renewed colonial obsessions, and the post-1945 era. Particular areas of emphasis include the relationship of anti-Semitism to colonial racism; respectability, sexuality, and cultural hierarchies in the formal empire; Nazi representations of colonialism; and contemporary perceptions of race. The volume’s disciplinary reach extends to musicology, religious studies, film, and tourism studies as well as literary analysis and history. These essays demonstrate why modern Germany must confront its colonial and postcolonial pasts, and how those pasts continue to shape the German cultural imagination.
Download or read book Migration and Mobility written by S. Ghatak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-09-12 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People move, individually and collectively, for a combination of economic, social, political and cultural reasons. The impact of migration on the individuals concerned, their families, the countries they leave and the societies they join raises issues that are hotly contested by academics, policymakers and politicians. By using a wide variety of analytical approaches the contributors to this book reveal the complexity and significance of this increasingly important phenomenon in Western European countries, which links these societies to the wider world. They engage directly with the challenge which human mobility represents by examining the reasons for migration, the contribution and needs of those migrating, and the ways in which public debate about migration may be manipulated for political reasons.
Download or read book KulturConfus o On German Brazilian Interculturalities written by Anke Finger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analyses of German and Brazilian cultures found in this book offer a much-needed rethinking of the intercultural paradigm for the humanities and literary and cultural studies. This collection examines cultural interactions between Germany and Brazil from the Early Modern period to the present day, especially how authors, artists and other intellectuals address the development of society, intervene in the construction and transformation of cultural identities, and observe the introduction of differing cultural elements in and beyond the limits of the nation. The contributors represent various academic disciplines, including German Studies, Luso-Afro-Brazilian Studies, Cultural Studies, Linguistics, Art History and the social sciences. Their essays cover a wide range of works and media, and the issues they address are relevant not only for each of the scholarly disciplines involved, but also in discussions of current cultural practices in connection to all forms of media. The collection thus serves as a model for further intercultural research, since it calls into question the very terms through which we understand the relationships between cultures, as well as their products, practices, and perspectives.
Download or read book Labour Migration from Turkey to Western Europe 1960 1974 written by Ahmet Akgunduz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundbreaking in its comprehensiveness, this book illuminates the migration of workers from Turkey to Western Europe with new perspectives previously overlooked in research. Indeed, this is the first study of its kind to cover the entire migration process, making extensive use of primary as well as secondary sources in four languages, and it draws on both the historiography and the social sciences of migration. It presents new analyses of the so-called 'push' factors behind this movement and explores the role of the sending state, the system and channels through which labour exits, the labouring population's attitudes towards moving to the West and the relevance of social networks in the migration process. The volume offers a critical assessment of the significance of Turkish labour migration with regard to the demand for foreign labour in Europe, with particular emphasis on the cases of Germany and the Netherlands.
