Is the Atlantic World in a state of crisis? At a time when many political observers perceive indeed a crisis in transatlantic relations, critical evaluation of past narratives and frameworks in Transatlantic Relations and Atlantic History alike become crucial. This volume provides an academic foundation to critically assess the Atlantic World and to rethink transatlantic relations in a transnational and global perspective. The TransAtlantic reconsidered brings together leading experts such as Harvard historians Charles S. Maier and Bernard Bailyn and former ERC scientific board member Nicholas Canny. All the scholars represented in this volume have helped to shape, re-shape, and challenge the narrative(s) of the Atlantic World and can thus (re-)evaluate its conceptual basis in view of historiographical developments and contemporary challenges. -- .
In recent decades historians have emphasized just how dynamic and varied early modern Europe was. Previously held notions of monolithic and static societies have now been replaced with a model in which new ideas, different cultures and communities jostle for attention and influence. Building upon the concept of interaction, the essays in this volume develop and explore the idea with specific reference to the ways in which diasporas could act as translocal societies, connecting worlds and peoples that may not otherwise have been linked. The volume looks at the ways in which diasporas or diasporic groups, such as the Herrnhuters, the Huguenots, the Quakers, Jews, the Mennonites, the Moriscos and others, could function as intermediaries to connect otherwise separated communities and societies. All contributors analyse the respective groups' internal and external networks, social relations and the settings of social interactions, looking at the entangled networks of diaspora communities and their effects upon the societies and regions they linked through those networks. The collection takes a fresh look at early modern diasporas, combining religious, cultural, social and economic history to better understand how early modern communication patterns and markets evolved, how consumption patterns changed and what this meant for social, economic and cultural change, how this impacted on what we understand as early developments towards globalization, and how early developments towards globalization, in turn, were constitutive of these.
The Yearbook of Transnational History is dedicated to disseminating pioneering research in the field of transnational history. This fifth volume advances the frontier of transnational history into early modern times. The six chapters of this volume explore topics and themes from early modern times to the fall of Communism. This volume includes chapters about the Huguenots and Sephardi Jews as transnational nations in the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the construction of cannabis knowledge cultures in the transatlantic world of the nineteenth century, the role of the German pastor Martin Niemoeller in the construction of transnational religious identities in the aftermath of World War II, and the labor migration - from Cuba to East Germany - within the Socialist world in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Yearbook of Transnational History is dedicated to disseminating pioneering research in the field of transnational history. This inaugural volume provides readers with articles on topics such as soccer, travel, music, and social policy. These articles highlight the movement of ideas, people, policies, and practices across various cultures and societies and explore the relations and connections, and spaces created by these movements. These articles make clear that historical phenomena from travel to music cannot be contained and explained within just one national setting. The volume offers, further, a number of theoretical and methodological articles that provide insights into the concept of transnational history and the approach of intercultural transfer studies. Last but not least, the volume also includes a number of review articles. These review articles provide an examination of books central to teaching transnational history as well as a historiographical exploration of the impact of transnational history on the field of sports history.
Der vorliegende Sammelband analysiert in komparatistischer und transnationaler Perspektive die Immigration und Integration von Hugenotten in unterschiedlichen deutschen Territorien. Er zeigt, wie deutsche Landesherren auf die Franzosen und die "typisch" franzosische bzw. franzosisch-protestantische Kultur der Glaubensfluchtlinge reagierten. Er fragt nach den Massnahmen, welche die deutschen Regierungen ergriffen, um den Refugies zu helfen, nach den Erwartungen, die mit der Ansiedlung der Franzosen verknupft wurden, und nach den Programmen, die entwickelt wurden, um die Neuburger zu integrieren soweit dies uberhaupt erwunscht war. Der Band bindet in transnationaler Perspektive die Integrations- und Assimilierungsprozesse der Hugenotten in die Frage des kulturellen Transfers zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich ein und greift gesellschaftspolitisch auch heute relevante Fragestellungen auf, die uber den deutsch-franzosischen Kontext hinausweisen."

Im Mittelpunkt der Studie stehen Zeitungen und Zeitschriften einer Gruppe von deutschen Emigranten, die sich zur Zeit der Franzosischen Revolution dauerhaft im Elsass niederliess. Susanne Lachenicht macht anschaulich, wie bedeutsam diese Emigranten fur die Entwicklung des Pressewesens im spaten 18. Jahrhundert waren, und zeigt neue Facetten des Phanomens "deutscher Jakobinismus" auf. Welchen Stellenwert hatte das journalistische Wirken deutscher Jakobiner im franzosischen Exil fur Transferprozesse im untersuchten Zeitraum und inwiefern motivierten ihre Presseerzeugnisse das Entstehen neuer (Teil-)Offentlichkeiten? Neben einem Gruppenprofil der journalistisch in Strassburg tatigen deutschen Jakobiner entsteht eine Analyse von Herstellung, Formen, Diskurs, Inhalten, Verbreitungsraum und -modus ihrer Periodika."
Historical work on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries suggests that as nation-states were solidifying throughout Western Europe, exiled groups tended to develop rival national identities--an occurrence that had been fairly uncommon in the two preceding centuries. "Diaspora Identities" draws on eight case studies, ranging from the early modern period through the twentieth century, to explore the interconnectedness of exile, nationalism, and cosmopolitanism as concepts, ideals, attitudes, and strategies among diasporic groups.
