Minorities in Global History - Cultures of Integration and Patterns of Exclusion: Holger Weiss Minorities in Global History - Cultures of Integration and Patterns of Exclusion
Holger Weiss
R3,030 Discovery Miles 30 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This collection analyses the concept of minority and minorities in global history. Taking transnational, transregional and comparative approaches, it explores narratives of inclusion and exclusion both conceptually and through case studies. Exploring examples of marginalization in Imperial Russia, early-20th century Korea, WWII China and Postcolonial Africa amongst others, the chapters in this volume seek to understand the entanglements of ‘fluid minorities’ and native populations in various historical settings. They explore dynamics between nation states and empires, minority-majority processes in (post)imperial and (post)Soviet contexts, fourth world perspectives and transnational minority movements. Taken together, the contributions to this collection address the exposure to and challenge of historical and contemporary treatments of marginalization, exclusion, belonging and inclusion in global history.

Locating the Global - Spaces, Networks and Interactions from the Seventeenth to the Twentieth Century (Hardcover): Holger Weiss Locating the Global - Spaces, Networks and Interactions from the Seventeenth to the Twentieth Century (Hardcover)
Holger Weiss
R3,045 Discovery Miles 30 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume adds to the plurality of global histories by locating the global through its articulation and manifestation within particular localities. It accomplishes this by bringing together interlinked case-studies that analyse various temporal and spatial dimensions of the global in the local and the interactions between the local and the global. The case-studies apply a spatial approach to analyse how global questions of space, movement, networks, borders, and territory are worked out at a local level. The material draws on the Nordic countries, Europe, the Atlantic world, Africa, and Australia and ranges from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. It is further divided into sections that address topics such as the translocality of humans and goods, local articulations of identities and globalities, parliamentarism and anti-colonialism, the organization of knowledge and the construction of spaces of representation and memory.

The Internationalisation of the Labour Question - Ideological Antagonism, Workers' Movements and the ILO since 1919... The Internationalisation of the Labour Question - Ideological Antagonism, Workers' Movements and the ILO since 1919 (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Stefano Bellucci, Holger Weiss
R3,911 Discovery Miles 39 110 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This edited collection is a global history of workers' organisations since 1919, the year when the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Comintern and the International Federation of Trade Unions were formed. This historical moment represents a caesura in labour history as it epitomises the beginning of what the editors and the contributors in this book call the internationalisation of the labour question. The case studies in this centenary volume analyse the relationship between global workers' organisations and the new ideological confrontation between liberal capitalism, socialism and communism since the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Workers' organisations, trade unions in particular, grew in importance and managed to organise internationally, forming alliances cemented by ideology and sustained by international institutional bodies or centrals. In the nascent capitalist versus communist struggle, trade unions thrived. Is it mere coincidence that today's decline of unionism coincides with the end of ideological antagonism? This book emphasises important global labour issues such as gender as well as international workers' histories from Latin America, Asia and Africa.
