The Eugenic Fortress

Author(s): Tudor Georgescu / Language(s): English

The ever-growing library on the history of eugenics and fascism focuses largely on nation-states, while Georgescu asks why an ethnic minority, the German-speaking Transylvanian Saxons, turned to eugenics as a means of self-empowerment in inter-war Romania. The Eugenic Fortress examines the eugenic movement that emerged in the early twentieth century, and focuses on its conceptual and methodological evolution during this turbulent period. Further on, the book analyses the gradual process of radicalising and politicization by a second generation of Saxon eugenicists in conjunction with the rise of an equally indigenous fascist movement. The Saxon case-study offers valuable insights into why an ethnic minority would seek to re-entrench itself behind the race-hygienic walls of a “eugenic fortress,” as well as the influence that home nations had upon its design. Georgescu’s work is ground-breaking in the sense that the history of this uprooted community is usually handled with extreme sensitivity and serious (and critical) research into Transylvanian Saxon involvement with Nazism has been scant, until now.

Free Speech and Censorship around the Globe

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Free Speech and Censorship around the Globe contains stories about how imagination and rational thinking in wildly different cultures capture, imagine, and conceptualize what freedom of speech means. This book treats the reader not as a tourist, but as a traveler. It does not stop at every famous tourist site that have been the most visited. Instead, it goes up many side streets. It provides an opportunity for curious people who would like to understand whether free speech can be contextual to take a journey of exploration. It draws a map of the concepts and contexts of free speech in the second decade of the 21st century. 1989 and 2011 are only two recent turning points when freedom of speech and freedom of the press emerged, or at least powerful efforts were made to support their emergence, although disheartening backlashes followed in several countries. The book also tells many other free speech narratives that emerged, or evolved outside the frames of 1989 and 2011, also with several troublesome repercussions. Reborn restrictions to free speech—as have taken place, for example, in some Central European and East European countries, such as the backlash in Hungary that received broad international attention—make the critical assessments presented in this volume especially timely. Comparative studies must help to avoid such backwards steps and to create enabling environments needed by any culture in order to develop and sustain the spirit and practices of freedom of speech.

Overeducated and Over Here: Skilled EU Migrants in Britain

Author(s): Bradley Saunders / Language(s): English

The UK’s offer of immediate free access to A8 workers resulted in a larger-than-expected influx of A8 migrants to the UK, which caused a public backlash and heated debates over the benefits and costs of large-scale immigration. Much has been written about the political and economic impact of this influx. This book focuses instead on the complex interweaving factors affecting the work and non-work lives of skilled migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their work experience, skills and interests. The focus on the European context addresses the need for a better understanding of contemporary labour mobility within the EU. The important, though often neglected, perspective of individuals who take on work below their level forms the focus of this book. In-depth interviews analyse the lived experiences of migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their qualifications and experience."Having spent approximately half my life away from my home country, it is perhaps not surprising that I chose to examine the lives of others who made similar decisions. A culture of migration runs in the family. I have met many others who also left their home country’s shores. Whether these were academics from London or labourers from Lahore, my conversations with them made me reflect on and question our life choices and experiences. Why had we decided to leave one country and move to another? Was there something different about us compared to our peers who did not make such a move?"

Diskriminacija. Jedan pojam, mnogo lica

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian

Projekat Diskriminacija, jedan pojam – mnogo lica nastao je kao posljedica opservacija kroz koje je uočeno da u bosanskohercegovackom društvu postoje različiti oblici diskriminacija, koji traže kritičku refleksiju i aktivističku reakciju. Željeli smo da putem neformalnih predavanja i druženja na Filozofskom fakultetu Pale, koji nam je otvorio svoja vrata za ove aktivnosti, razmatramo različite oblike diskriminacije koji postoje u našem društvu. Analizirali smo kako sam pojam, tako i njegovu manifestaciju u političkom životu, obrazovanju, medijima i sl. Željeli smo da progovorimo u svoje ime, ali i ime onih koji nisu u poziciji da kažu svoje mišljenje, jer su lišeni mogućnosti da javno iznesu svoj problem, da ukažu na različite oblike sopstvene isključenosti iz društva, da progovore o obespravljenosti i diskriminaciji kojoj su izloženi, jer je njihova marginalizacija nevidljiva, a glas nečujan.

HELSINŠKE SVESKE №15: National minorities and law

Author(s): / Language(s): English

October 2000 political changeover did not produce the fundamental break with Milosevic's policy. There are numerous examples thereof, notably as regards Republika Srpska, Kosovo and Montenegro. Insistence on that orientation in the face of factual defeat had a negative impact on status of inter-ethnic relations in Serbia proper. National policy aiming at creating an ethnically pure Serb state ended with a catastrophic balance: hundreds of thousands of dead, several million displaced persons and refugees. In the past decade minorities, notably Croats (during the war in Croatia), Bosniaks (during the war in B&H) and Albanians (during the whole decade) bore the brunt of "ethnic-cleansing" policy. By extension, relations between the majority people and some minorities were exacerbated. In the meantime minorities have radicalised their stands and are waiting for resolution of their problems by dint of international community brokerage. Most conspicuous example of the aforementioned was South Serbia, in which the danger of conflict spill-over was great for a while. But thanks to NATO and other international organisations actions and efforts tension has eased and cooperation and revival of economy have been initiated owing to enormous political and financial support of the West. Serbia has entered the period of facing up to difficult and long-term consequences of nationalistic and war policy of the former regime. The entire society has been devastated, and institutions of system destroyed. Long wars, international isolation and bombardment campaign have impacted the general social mood, which is marked by high intolerance, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and emergence of neo-Nazi groups. This is all due to the political vacuum and absence of vision of Serbia's future. Such a general atmosphere affects national minorities, who feel increasingly threatened. The last census, according to unofficial information, indicates that Serbia remains a markedly multi-ethnic country. This may be explained by massive emigration or brain-drain of young and educated Serbs. About 400,000 refugees from Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo, contrary to some expectations, have not to a larger extent changed the demographic structure of the country. Despite emigration of minorities, their percentage remained the same, in view of de-assimilation of Vlahs and Romany (they stopped identifying with Serbs). This means that the minority issue would remain the hot issue, notably if the nationalistic block continues to persist on realisation of ethnically pure state. Some ethnic communities have been territorially homogenised, hence some of them, in some areas constitute the majority population. Some national minorities, notably Albanians, Bulgarians, Croats, Hungarians, Bosniaks/Muslims, and Romanians inhabit border areas. Thus their territorial homogenisation is a complex political fact. Despite current authorities efforts to fine-tune national minorities-related domestic legislation to the European standards, situation in that regard is slowly changing because of badly impaired inter-ethnic relations in the last decade. Ethnic distance had been increased, but as of late it started dwindling, but not everywhere and not with respect to all minorities.

In Search of the Self: Reconciling the Past and the Present in Immigrants’ Experience

Author(s): Larisa Fialkova,Maria Yelenevskaya / Language(s): English

This book is a follow-up to our project devoted to personal narratives of ex-Soviets in Israel. Our original plan was to collect previously published articles dealing with immigration issues but differing from the main themes of our book Ex-Soviets in Israel: From Personal Narratives to a Group Portrait (Fialkova & Yelenevskaya 2007). The themes of immigrants in the city, attitude to law, immigrants’ literature and humor were touched upon but not developed in depth in that volume.They were researched in a number of papers written later (Fialkova &Yelenevskaya 2006, 2006a, 2011, 2012, Yelenevskaya & Fialkova 2006,2008) and discussed in our presentations at 11 scholarly conferences.However, when we re-read the articles we realized that the situation in the Russian-speaking community was so dynamic that studies conducted three-five years ago should be seriously revised and updated.

Ми смо Немци. Етнички идентитет припадника немачке националне мањине у Војводини на почетку 21. века

Author(s): Aleksandar Krel / Language(s): Serbian

The presence of a German population in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, in the north of the Republic of Serbia, is the result of historical circumstances. They were settled there at the time of the mass colonisation of Southern Hungary and the Middle Danube region in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. This colonisation—aimed at boosting the economic and defensive military capacities of the territories annexed to the Habsburg Monarchy as a result of a series of Austro-Ottoman wars— changed noticeably the ethnic map of that part of Europe. During this highly complex migratory process, large numbers of crafts men, farmers, public servants and army veterans, attracted by enticing benefits, left the German lands/principalities to settle and make a home in the Pannonian Plain. Until the twentieth century most settlers lived in rural areas, functioning as small and rela tively closed agricultural communities. Their members lived abiding by religious principles and observing customs, which helped them to preserve their local German dialects and develop distinctive cultural features. Some of those settled in urban areas made a significant contribution to the economic and cultural de velopment of present-day Vojvodina. After the First World War and the disintegration of the Habsburg Monarchy, the Germans in Vojvodina, Croatia, Slove nia and Bosnia became citizens of the newly-created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (SCS) and were soon recognised as a national minority. In the interwar Kingdom of SCS (renamed Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929) the German minority made every effort to preserve its ethnic and cultural distinctiveness: many cultural and political organisations were active and productively participated in the public and political life of the country. The defeat of the Third Reich in the Second World War caused much trouble for the German community in Vojvodina. As was the case with the German minority in all of South-East Europe, the participation of many Yugoslavs of German origin in military, paramilitary and police forces which had fought on the side of the defeated Germany led to almost all members of the German minority being labelled as collaborationists and incurring widespread odium as such. For the purpose of punishment, Yugoslav authorities set up camps for mass internment of German Yugoslavs who had not fled before Yugoslav partisan and Soviet Red Army troops. Pursuant to newly-adopted regulations, the internment was combined with the loss of property and civil rights. Only a few thousand members of the German community were exempted from the sanctions and allowed to keep their citizenship and property, usually on account of their own or a family member’s participation in the People’s Liberation Movement (NOP). In the early 1950s the process of dissolving the camps and repatriation took place. As most members of the German minority chose to emigrate to Germany or Austria, in the mid-1960s there remained in Yugoslavia only a small number, and mostly concentrated in Vojvodina. Their position was gradually improving, but the hardships they had experienced and the strong antiGerman sentiment in the wake of the war led them to opt for the strategy of ethnic mimicry. In that period, the Germans of Vojvodina consciously concealed their own and publicly demonstrated ethnic identity symbols of the ethnic communities that enjoyed an advantageous social status. Their ethnic mimicry strategy was made much easier by the markedly multiethnic, multicultural and multilingual character of Vojvodina, and the transfer of ethnic identity symbols was also bolstered by a high rate of ethnic exogamy and their shared religious affiliation with members of neighbouring ethnic communities.

Срби у Темишвару

Author(s): Mirjana Pavlović / Language(s): Serbian

This book is dedicated to the customs, culture and way of life of Serbs in Timisoara. The emphasis is on the strategies of constructing and achieving community and layered identities (national/ethnic, dual, regional, local) within a historic discourse. The data presented in this book has been gathered through various means. Aside from archival material and statistical data on the life of the community, as well as relevant theoretical approaches in the study of ethnicity, the most important data was acquired through fieldwork. The research began in 2002, and took place over a series of short-term visits to the city in 2002, 2003 and 2005. The method of participant observation was applied to many everyday as well as festive situations in the family and social lives of Serbs in Timisoara. I have attended numerous liturgies, weddings, christenings, choir and folklore association rehearsals and performances, family and social celebrations and sporting events. Interviews, surveys and informal conversations were conducted with members of the community encompassing both sexes, all ages and varying social status, political and religious affiliations. Among my informants there were people whose connections to the church weren’t strong, as well as people from mixed marriages. Aside from this, I had tried to gather data on the lives of Serbs between the World wars or earlier indirectly – through the narratives of their descendants.

Žumberački uskoci - unijačenje i odnarođivanje

Author(s): Dragan Vukšić / Language(s): Croatian

Kad je reč o seobama žumberačkih uskoka, na prvi pogled se čini da o tome postoji obilje istorijskih dokumenata i da je taj deo prošlosti Žumberčana jasan. Međutim, kad se problemu priđe istraživački precizno i sa željom da čitalac dobije jasnu sliku o toku i problemima prilikom doseljavanja, dolazi se do zaključka da, ipak, nema dovoljno podataka, barem ne o trećoj i četvrtoj seobi. Zatim, autori se pozivaju uglavnom na iste izvore, ali ih različito koriste, navodeći samo ono šta oni smatraju značajnim i što žele da naglase, odnosno šta od njih očekuje »poručilac«. Posledica su značajne razlike u tumačenju da li se i kada nešto dogodilo i kako se dogodilo? Znamo da »istoriju pišu pobednici« i da su žumberački uskoci i njihovo doseljavanje vekovima bili »pod lupom« raznih pobednika i njihove politike te da su »pobednici« različito gledali na žumberačke uskoke pa i na njihovo doseljavanje. Surova istorijska stvarnost uticala je da su Žumberčani morali da vode računa ne samo o tome ko su »aktuelni« pobednici nego i ko će da pobedi u narednom periodu i kakvi će da budu ti budući pobednici.

Neostvarena prava i promašene politike 2: Zastupljenost nacionalnih manjina u državnoj upravi, pravosuđu i policiji

Author(s): Ljubomir Mikić / Language(s): English,Croatian

Relying on the fact of by law guaranteed right on proportional representation of national minorities members in public authorities that has for years presented a big problem and challenge for the Republic of Croatia, Serb National Council (SNC) published the analysis Unrealized Rights and Failed Policies: Representation of National Minorities in State Administration, Judiciary and Police in March of 2014. The analysis was based on competent authorities’ data about the representation of national minorities in stated institutions, highlighting the representation of Serbs followed and collected by SNC and the Independent Democratic Serbian Party Club in the Croatian Parliament between the middle of 2008 and the middle of 2013, respectively until the beginning of the EU membership of Republic of Croatia in July of 2013. The results of the analysis were devastating. It has been noticed that during the analysed period, despite the specific measures of the Government of Republic of Croatia, not only there was no improvement in realization of the rights, but previously achieved level of representation demonstrate tendencies of moderate to significant degradation. Former politics of the Government directed towards increasing the number of national minorities’ members in competent authorities have been rated as useless, and stated reasonable doubt they were only fulfilling the form in order to meet the criteria of the EU entry negotiations. The conclusion, among other, stated the necessity for the Government and other competent authorities to undertake decisive, comprehensive and concrete measures in collaboration and with participation of national minorities’ representatives and independent experts in the following period in order to implement the corresponding guaranteed rights.

Govor mržnje i nasilje prema Srbima u 2015.

Author(s): Tamara Opačić / Language(s): English,Croatian

The year behind us was marked by an increased number of physical assaults on Serbs in Croatia, threats against them and destruction of their property. In 2015 Cyrillic script1 in Vukovar was practically abolished and we have witnessed numerous attempts to rehabilitate the Independent State of Croatia (NDH)2 as well as an increased incidence of hate speech by public figures and part of the media. For this reason 2015 will be remembered as the year in which nationalist and anti-minority atmosphere – which became more intense since Croatia’s accession to the European Union in 2013 – has reached a worrying scale.

Alternativni izvještaj o primjeni Okvirne konvencije za zaštitu nacionalnih manjina

Author(s): Ljubomir Mikić / Language(s): English,Croatian

The Serb National Council (SNC), a national coordination of councils of Serb national minority representatives, is an elected political, advisory and coordination entity that operates as a self-government of Serbs in the Republic of Croatia. The SNC is engaged with the protection and promotion of Serbs’ human, civil and ethnic rights, and issues of their identity, participation and integration into Croatian society.The SNC was founded per the Erdut Agreement and the Letter of the Croatian Government about the completion of peaceful reintegration, which guarantees the Serb minority self-government as well as the right to organise as based upon the centuries old tradition of Serb self-government: from church/popular parliaments, to legislative and political acts which regulated the position of Serbs in the 13th and 14th century, to the documents of the National Antifascist Council. It was established in 1997, in Zagreb, at the initiative of the Alliance of Serb Organisations (SKD Prosvjeta, Serb Democratic Forum, Community of Rijeka and Istria Serbs and Joint Council of Municipalities) and among the founders were also the Idependent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS) , Baranja Democratic Forum, Association of refugee and displaced Serbs, representatives of parts of the Serb Orthodox Church (SPC) church municipalities, members of parliament and prominent individuals.

Dva doma. Hrvatska radna migracija u Njemačku kao transnacionalni fenomen

Author(s): Jasna Čapo / Language(s): Croatian

Der vorliegende Band analysiert Umstände und Folgen der kroatischen Arbeitsmigration nach Westdeutschland in den 60er und 70er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Bekannt unter dem Begriff Gastarbeitermigration wurde diese Wanderung in der ersten Zeit als vorläufige Beschäftigung der vornehmlich jüngeren männlichen Population mit niedriger Berufsqualifikation realisiert, in der Folge entwickelte sie sich aber zu einem längerfristigen Verbleib sowie Nachzug ganzer Familien nach Deutschland. Das Buch enthält Kapitel über Migranten und ihre Nachkommen, die sogenannte transnationale Generation in Deutschland. Die Grundlage für das Buch lieferten die mit Kroaten in Deutschland geführten Gespräche in der Zeitspanne von 2002 bis 2017. Dabei werden Schlüsselthemen und Metaphern erörtert, die aus dem Leben der Kroaten im Aufnahmeland (damaliges Westdeutschland) und dem Herkunftsland (damaliges Jugoslawien, heute Kroatien und Bosnien und Herzegowina) entspringen, aber auch jene, die sich aus dem transnationalen sozialen, jenseits der staatlichen Grenzen geschaffenen Raum herleiten.

Moj glas odjekuje...

Author(s): Masha Durkalić / Language(s): Bosnian

Budući da se bavim novinarstvom/spisateljstvom, dok razmišljam o životu na margini, prva asocijacija mi je uvijek ona margina u samom Wordu, koju vidim čak i dok ovo pišem, i koja se miče po potrebi kako bi sav tekst mogao upasti na jednu stranu onako kako to meni odgovara. Iako je asocijacija jako banalna, njena uporedivost sa stvarnošću je neupitna. Ako zamislimo društvo kao prazan list papira koji se svakim danom ispisuje do određene granice i ako nemogućnost pomicanja margine poistovjetimo s manjkom želje onoga/e i/ili onih koji/e pišu po toj stranici da to urade, lako je shvatiti zašto su marginalizovane grupe u našem društvu u poziciji u kojoj jesu – poziciji siromaštva, diskriminacije, odbacivanja i socijalne isključenosti. Očito je – (privilegovano) društvo ne želi da one budu na unutrašnjoj strani margine na kojoj ih pušta da egzistiraju.

Izvješće o pojavama govora mržnje I kaznenih djela učinjenih iz mržnje u Bosni i Hercegovini u razdoblju od lipnja 2018. godine do lipnja 2019. godine

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian

Tijekom 2016. i 2017. godine došlo je do unapređenja zakonskog okvira kada su u pitanju govor mržnje i kaznena djela učinjena iz mržnje. Unatoč tome, budući da bosansko-hercegovačko društvo općenito nije dovoljno senzibilizirano, a stručnjaci/kinje koji/e se bave ovom oblasti nisu dovoljno educirani/e, u praksi ova kaznena djela i dalje nisu odgovarajuće prepoznata, procesuirana i sankcionirana. Sve ovo doprinosi tome da žrtve govora mržnja i kaznenih djela učinjenih iz mržnje defacto najčešće ostaju nezbrinute, a djela neprocesuirana, što nekažnjenim počiniteljima/cama u ovakvim slučajevima šalje vrlo jasnu poruku da su njihova djela prihvatljiva i opravdana. Stoga žrtve i potencijalne žrtve govora mržnje i kaznenih djela učinjenih iz mržnje (pripadnici/e manjinskih skupina) nisu u mogućnosti voditi siguran i bezbrižan život sa svim temeljnim ljudskim pravima. Naime, ova prava su im uskraćena i/ili ograničena jer dijele neke od zaštićenih karakteristika zbog kojih mogu biti žrtve govora mržnje i kaznenih djela učinjenih iz mržnje. Unatoč tome što je legislativa poboljšavana u proteklom razdoblju, ni država ni nadležne ustanove za ovu oblast nisu uradile ništa kako bi se ova kaznena djela počela prvo prepoznavati, potom procesuirati, te na kraju odgovarajuće i sankcionirati. U prilog ovome govori i činjenica da država ne poduzima apsolutno ništa za sustavnu edukaciju policijskih službenika/ca, tužitelja/ica, sudaca/tkinjana ovu tematiku i problematiku, dok neke pravosudne ustanove nisu zainteresiraneni za suradnju kako bi svoje stručnjake/inje educirale kroz neformalni sustavo brazovanja. Iz svega navedenog očito je da izostaje odnos povjerenja između žrtava govora mržnje i kaznenih djela učinjenih iz mržnje i policije i pravosuđa. Zapravo, ova se kaznena djela ne prijavljuju policiji i pravosuđu, ili zbog straha, ili zbog izostanka povjerenja u cijeli lanac kaznenog progona. Nužno je kontinuirano senzibilizirati i educirati policijske službenike/ce, tužitelje/ice, suce/tkinje o tematici i problematici govora mržnje i kaznenih djela učinjenih iz mržnje, kako bi se promijenila prvenstveno njihova svijest, ali i unaprijedilo znanje i vještine o težini problema koju ova kaznena djela imaju po žrtve, a potom razvila i svijest i povjerenje žrtava da ta djela i prijave. Također, potrebno je poboljšanje trenutnog zakonskog okvira, odnosno harmonizacija kaznenih zakona u Federaciji BiH i Brčko distriktu s kaznenim zakonom Republike Srpske.

Elite Migrants: South Asian Doctors in the UK

Author(s): Yasmin Ghazala Farooq / Language(s): English

This book makes a major contribution to the community cohesion literature and adds a new dimension to our understanding of community cohesion in the UK. Previous research in this area has remained overly focused on the experiences of low/semi skilled migrants. The author provides an analysis of her funded empirical research that investigated the first time the integration experiences of overseas-trained South Asian doctors in three different UK geographical locales. She reflects on their experiences from the point of migration to settlement in the UK society and describes this elite group as existing somewhere between privilege and marginalisation. The book highlights how identities are more plural than discourses of belonging often allow.
