Homelandings is a critical exploration of the ways that postcolonial diasporas challenge exclusive formulations of ‘home’ and ‘homeland’ based on racist and heteronormative assumptions. It critically engages with Foucault’s notions of "biopolitics" and "governmentality" as a conjoined technology of governance in the era of neoliberal capitalism ushered into the global economy from the late 1970s. Drawing on texts produced by diasporic people in the UK and USA whose work resists and re-appropriates exclusive home sites produced by trends of Anglo-American neoliberalism, it exposes entrenched discourses of exclusion rooted in race, class, and sexuality. In doing so, it offers an urgent intervention for students and scholars of cultural studies, postcolonial studies, Anglophone literature, comparative literature, Race and Ethnicity studies, and Queer studies.

English | ISBN: 3700185049 | 2021 | 228 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This volume is the result of an international workshop in which scholars from several disciplines explored less familiar instances of the exchange of ideas across the Atlantic. In the 19th century many American graduates both in the humanities, social and natural sciences as well as medicine, appreciating the progress in these fields of learning in continental Europe, and noting an elective affinity with their peers there, spent time at universities and medical institutions in German-speaking countries and then tried to reform their educational and academic institutions on the basis of transatlantic models. American institutions also recruited scientists from Central Europe for their work. The book also describes new alliances in the field of politics in the 20th century, and analyses the formation of a joint transatlantic peace movement intent on preventing a nuclear apocalypse in the Cold War. It also traces the influence of continental European philosophy and of individual philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein in the USA and Canada, and investigates the inspiration of new branches of philosophy, like film philosophy, in Central Europe.

English | ISBN: 0520391438 | 2023 | 336 pages | PDF | 32 MB
In the two decades after World War II, a vibrant cultural infrastructure of cineclubs, archives, festivals, and film schools took shape in Latin America through the labor of film enthusiasts who often worked in concert with French and France-based organizations. In promoting the emerging concept and practice of art cinema, these film-related institutions advanced geopolitical and class interests simultaneously in a polarized Cold War climate. Seeking to sharpen viewers’ critical faculties as a safeguard against ideological extremes, institutions of film culture lent prestige to Latin America’s growing middle classes and capitalized on official and unofficial efforts to boost the circulation of French cinema, enhancing the nation’s soft power in the wake of military defeat and occupation. As the first book-length, transnational analysis of postwar Latin American film culture,

Author: Nicholas Radburn

A sweeping new history that reveals how British, African, and American merchants developed the transatlantic slave trade. During the eighteenth century, Britain’s slave trade exploded in size. Formerly a small and geographically constricted business, the trade had, by the eve of the American Revolution, grown into a transatlantic system through which fifty thousand men, women, and children were enslaved every year. In this wide-ranging history, Nicholas Radburn explains how thousands of merchants collectively transformed the slave trade by devising highly efficient but violent new business methods. African brokers developed commercial infrastructure that facilitated the enslavement and sale of millions of people. Britons invented shipping methods that quelled enslaved people’s constant resistance on the Middle Passage. And American slave traders formulated brutal techniques through which shiploads of people could be quickly sold to colonial buyers. Truly Atlantic-wide in its vision, this study shows how the slave trade dragged millions of people into its terrible vortex and became one of the most important phenomena in world history.

Free Download Anja Werner, "The Transatlantic World of Higher Education: Americans at German Universities, 1776-1914"
English | 2013 | pages: 344 | ISBN: 0857457829 | PDF | 3,3 mb
Between the 1760s and 1914, thousands of young Americans crossed the Atlantic to enroll in German-speaking universities, but what was it like to be an American in, for instance, Halle, Heidelberg, Göttingen, or Leipzig? In this book, the author combines a statistical approach with a biographical approach in order to reconstruct the history of these educational pilgrimages and to illustrate the interconnectedness of student migration with educational reforms on both sides of the Atlantic. This detailed account of academic networking in European educational centers highlights the importance of travel for academic and cultural transformations in nineteenth-century America.

Free Download Elizabeth Kenney, "Race and Transatlantic Identities"
English | ISBN: 0415792533 | 2017 | 156 pages | EPUB | 1312 KB
Race and Transatlantic Identities provides a rich overview of the complex relationship between the construction of race and transatlantic identity as expressed in a variety of cultural forms, refracted through different disciplinary and critical perspectives, and manifested at different historical moments. Spanning a period from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, the contributions provide a panorama of the wealth and variety of contemporary approaches to grappling with notions of race in a transatlantic context, raising questions about the permanence and fixity of racial boundaries. The volume, which focuses on the cultural sites where individuals construct and express their racial identities in the context of those boundaries, also explores strategies through which those boundaries are defined and redefined. The collection conducts this inquiry by juxtaposing essays on literature, history, visual arts, material culture, music, and dance in ways that encourage the reader to engage with concepts across traditional disciplinary boundaries. The articles in this book were originally published in the
