Prisoners Of Jan Smuts - Italian Prisoners-Of-War In South Africa In WWII (Paperback): Karen Horn Prisoners Of Jan Smuts - Italian Prisoners-Of-War In South Africa In WWII (Paperback)

Equally skilled in different trades than in the art of love, the Italian prisoners-of-war (POWs) who were incarcerated in South Africa during the Second World War are a source of great fascination to this day.

The first Italian POWs arrived in the Union of South Africa in early 1941, most of them being held in Zonderwater Camp outside Cullinan or in work camps across the country. The government of Jan Smuts saw them as a source of cheap labour that would contribute to harvesting schemes, road-building projects such as the old Du Toit’s Kloof Pass between Paarl and Worcester and even to prickly-pear eradication schemes.

Prisoners of Jan Smuts recounts the stories of survival and shenanigans of the Italian POWs in the Union through the eyes of five prisoners who had documented their experiences in memoirs and letters. While many POWs seemed to appreciate the opportunities to gain new skills, others clung to the Fascist ideas they had grown up with and refused to work.

Many opted to remain in South Africa once the war had ended, forging quite a legacy. These included sculptor Edoardo Villa, who left an important mark in the local and international art world, and businessman Aurelio Gatti, who built an ice-cream empire whose gelato was to delight generations of South Africans.

Historian Karen Horn painstakingly tracked down a number of former POWs in which their interviews reveal rich narratives of hardship, endurance, humour, longing and self-discovery. Instead of fighting, these men adapted to another war, one which was fought on the inside of many prison camps.

In their interviews, all the POWs expressed surprise at being asked to share their experiences of almost 70 years earlier.They returned home in 1945 to a country which soon afterwards tried its utmost to promote national amnesia with regard to the country’s participation in the war.

With great insight and empathy, Karen Horn shines a light on a neglected corner of South African history. Karen Horn is a lecturer at Stellenbosch University.

In diesem ersten Band der "Allgemeinen Wirtschaftspolitik" vermittelt Herbert Giersch ein bis heute essenzielles Stuck staatsburgerlichen Wissens. Zugleich stellt dieses Buch ein faszinierendes Dokument der wirtschaftspolitischen und intellektuellen Zeitgeschichte dar. Tiefe oekonomische, sozialphilosophische und wissenschaftstheoretische Erkenntnis schlagt sich darin nieder. Der Autor behandelt Wesen, Ziele, Konflikte, Konzeptionen und Institutionen der Wirtschaftspolitik, den Beitrag der OEkonomik und insbesondere der Wohlfahrtstheorie. Philosophische, politische und oekonomische Perspektive vereinend, widmet er auch den bis heute pragenden Denkgebauden der Wirtschaftspolitik viel Raum, vom Merkantilismus uber den klassischen Liberalismus und den Marxismus bis hin zum Neoliberalismus und zur sozialen Marktwirtschaft. Daruber hinaus schildert er den Weg zur praktischen Umsetzung wirtschaftspolitischer Vorschlage innerhalb der Willensbildungsprozesse pluralistischer demokratischer Gesellschaften.

In diesem zweiten Band der "Allgemeinen Wirtschaftspolitik" liefert Herbert Giersch ein Kompendium des konjunkturpolitischen Wissens seiner Zeit, das noch heute fasziniert. Es vereinigt die Erkenntnisse volkswirtschaftlicher Theorie und wirtschaftspolitischer Praxis, die der Autor in eineinhalb Jahrzehnten der universitaren Lehre und Forschung sowie der Tatigkeit als akademischer Berater fur sich erschlossen und weitergegeben hat. Damit umfasst es ein riesiges Spektrum von Themen, die in den sechziger und siebziger Jahren auf der Tagesordnung standen. Der Zusammenbruch des Bretton-Woods-Systems und der erste OElpreisschock lagen bei Erstveroeffentlichung dieses Bandes gerade einmal vier Jahre zuruck. Damit endete die Phase dynamischen industriegetriebenen Wachstums, die Deutschland nach Auslaufen des Wirtschaftswunders Vollbeschaftigung bei starker Zuwanderung beschert hatte. Das Buch enthalt alles, was Giersch vor diesem Hintergrund in der Auseinandersetzung mit Denkrichtungen vom Keynesianismus uber die Neoklassik bis zum Monetarismus zu sagen hat.

Imagining Europe: Essays on the Past, Present and Future of the European Union examines the EU from a variety of perspectives. The collection begins with the expectation that, despite its challenges, the European Union is here to say, but it also proceeds from the premise that imaginative thinking is necessary to guide the 27 member organization into the future. The book offers nine chapters and a substantive introduction to examine the EU from the point-of-view of a commercial enterprise, the writings of Jose Ortega y Gasset, immigration and public opinion, its relationship with China, its management of political populism, the American Federalist papers-and more. The first chapter is a summary of the history, structure and processes of the European Union for the convenience of those using this text in the classroom. The last chapter considers this latest chapter of European development, in light of the historical quest for a united Europe. The contributors to the volume are scholars residing in the U.S., Poland, France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Turkey.
