"Alba, Schmidt and Wasmer have assembled an impressive group of
well-informed authors whose contributions provide much-needed insight
and clarification about the situation in which ethnic minorities find
themselves in post-reunification Germany. Combining statistical evidence
with in-depth qualitative analysis, this volume is an excellent example
of how scholarship can be relevant and readable at the same time. This
book is essential reading for academics and students interested in
contemporary Germany and its minorities."
 - Stefan Wolff, University of Bath
In this carefully researched and balanced analysis, Richard Alba and his German colleagues present powerful evidence concerning so many of the key issues in the debate about Germany's current attitudes towards diversity. Various chapters provide insight and analysis of
ethnocentrism, civil rights, anti-semitism, authoritarianism, the Far Right, and the legacy of regional divisions. This is a fascinating and authoritative study for anyone wishing to understand the complexity of contemporary Germany and the ethnic dynamics of the new Europe. - John Stone, Boston University
Focussing on immigration demographics and the social and psychological determinants of mass-level German xenophobia, this edited volume gives English-speaking readers unparalleled access to the work of Germany's top scholars of ethnic attitudes. Especially path-breaking are the authors' application of "symbolic racism" theory in the German context and their findings that current German anti-Semitism is linked to anti-Muslim sentiment and that Germany's proportion of immigrants is higher than even the United States'. This book is mandatory reading for all students of contemporary German public opinion, immigration politics, and ethnic relations.

'This Handbook reveals the interlocking organizational, political and multi-level dimensions of the EU's administrative system. The individual chapters enrich our understanding of its distinctive institutional and behavioral aspects; together, they delimit how this emerging administrative order enhances and limits the EU's role as an autonomous policymaker.'
 Chris Ansell, University of California, Berkeley, USA

"Shakespeare came to India during the British empire on the project of the 'civilizing mission.' Bollywood Shakespeares compellingly brings to life appropriations and adaptations of Shakespeare as a window into hybrid, post-national identities emerging from a global consumer culture in India today. In a theoretically nuanced framing argument, Dionne and Kapadia explore the interface between Shakespeare's theatre and the global stage of Bollywood cinema, while the ensuing essays examine in rich detail how Bollywood "uses" Shakespeare to represent and examine modern Indian life. Bollywood Shakespeares is an important and timely study into the politics of global culture and of the place of Shakespeare within it." - Jyotsna G. Singh, Professor of English, Michigan State University, USA

"This edited collection traces the historical origins of Bollywood's engagement with the Bard to Parsi theater, provides nuanced readings of well-established films (such as Shakespeare Wallah), and introduces readers to some less familiar ones (such as The Last Lear). Collectively, the essays in Bollywood Shakespeares demonstrate how both terms in the book's title are complicated and unsettled by their interaction. The volume also makes a significant contribution to theoretical discussion of the relationship between Shakespearean appropriation/adaptation and the rapidly changing field of Global Shakespeare." - Christy Desmet, Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of English, University of Georgia, USA

“Angermuller’s book develops enunciative pragmatics, a formal-qualitative approach that originates in the French tradition of discourse analysis. … Angermuller’s Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis is a unique addition to the Anglophone field of pragmatics and discourse analysis. … I expect Angermuller’s book to become an important input for the pragmatic study of language and discourse after structuralism.” (Jaspal Naveel Singh, Journal of Pragmatics, Vol. 88, 2015)'A valuable addition to the discourse analysis literature in English, this book is a much-needed introduction to the enunciative pragmatics developed by French poststructuralists and an application of it in analysis of intellectual and academic discourse.' - Norman Fairclough, Lancaster University, UK

'Johannes Angermuller is one of the few authors I know who has evolved a robust model of 'theory into practice' for applying poststructuralist discourse analysis to written texts. He resolves the problem of a text's interpretive authority by analysing the 'markers of enunciation' readers follow in order to grasp the competing voices within any text. This is ground-breaking work in the field of discourse analysis.' - Judith Baxter, Aston University, UK

"Developing a spatial-territorial approach to crime and applying it to Honduras - a country that suffers one of the world's highest rates of crime - Lirio Gutiérrez Rivera makes a significant and high quality contribution to the literature on crime. This is a key case study with a useful and much-needed theoretical framework." - Mark Ungar, The City University of New York - Brooklyn College, USA

"This is the first in-depth study of the structure and culture of violence in Honduras. It emphasizes the origins and the influence of organized crime, focusing in particular on the maras, the youth gangs that are the 'family' of the marginalized youth. Written with ethnographic excellence, it also demonstrates the failures of the anti-mara public policies of the Central American countries deeply affected by youth violence." - Dirk Kruijt, Emeritus Professor, Utrecht University, the Netherlands

“Theatre’s Heterotopias is a rigorous and disciplined study of a high scholarly standard, but it is also intelligent and flexible in its approach, combining extended intellectual work with rich experiential material. … book is an important and original, erudite but graceful contribution to theatre studies and all those variously involved in the theory and practice of the field, but it can also be used productively in other domains of spatial development and construction beyond the boundaries of theatre and performance.” (Elizabeth Sakellaridou, Journal of Contemporary Drama in English, Vol. 4 (2), November, 2016)

“The volume is an extremely well researched study of pilgrimage in medieval Wales that demonstrates how popular many of these sites remained in the early sixteenth century. It is packed with interesting insights relating to the pilgrim’s experience and deftly weaves together historical and literary sources to shed fresh light on a wide range of Welsh pilgrimage sites.” (Jane Cartwright, Speculum, Vol. 96 (2), April, 2021)

“This monograph makes significant contributions to studies on the history of medicine, colonial history, African history, and diaspora studies. It offers a new lens into medical practice in the African colony and raises new ideas about the history of South-South global biomedical intervention.” (Donna A. Patterson, American Historical Review, Vol. 122 (2), April, 2017)“The authors wield an impressive command of the scholarly literature on colonial medicine, Kenyan history, and the Indian diaspora, but their thematic interests rarely stray far from the biographical trajectories and political and economic conditions of Indian doctors. … Readers interested in colonial Kenya, the Indian diaspora, and of course colonial medicine will find several gems in this study. … this is an authoritative study that will serve as a valuable reference for a host of overlapping readerships.” (James R. Brennan, Journal of the History of Medicine, Vol. 71 (4), October, 2016)“Anna Greenwood and Harshad Topiwala set out to detail the complex position of western-trained Indian doctors in Kenya from the late nineteenth century to 1940. … the book offers a unique and important view into a group of elite individuals who struggled with their complex positions in an ever-changing and segregationist society and in turn offers us a new window into the various players that were involved in the colonial process.” (Tiffany F. Jones, Social History of Medicine, Vol. 29 (3), August, 2016)

“This is a valuable addition to the literature on women’s involvement in foreign affairs. A focus on gender encourages the reader to look at appeasement differently, while the author’s attempt to dig below the rhetoric of politicians and newspapers and to seek to uncover the perspectives of rank and file women is to be welcomed, and should provide an incentive for further research in this area.” (June Hannam, Twentieth Century British History, Vol. 28 (2), March, 2017) “This book provides an enormous amount of information on British women’s interest in foreign affairs in the 1930s … . Readers interested in British women in the political arena will find plenty to draw upon here.” (Robert Boyce, Cercles, cercles.com, November, 2016)“Julie Gottlieb has done the scholarly community an enormous service by providing the first gendered history of British foreign policy in the age of appeasement. … Guilty Women undoubtedly provides a much-needed and long-overdue corrective to the tendency within the existing literature to position women on the periphery … . This is a work of admirable scholarship and ambition, and the ever-expanding canon of appeasement literature is richer for the contributions it makes.” (Professor Daniel Hucker, Reviews in History, history.ac.uk, July, 2016)“Julie Gottlieb’s impressive study is a wonderful example of their complementarity and, in her skilful hands, their combination profoundly recasts the familiar story of the ‘Munich Crisis’ of 1938. … Bringing gender and women’s history together, Julie Gottlieb has thus provided us with an immensely rich and rewarding analysis of appeasement. … this work of stunning craftswomanship and path-breaking scholarship.” (Marc Calvini Lefebvre, Revue Française de Civilisation Britannique, rfcb.revues.org, July, 2016)
