Their object was to immobilize a great force of British troops around the Canal, to keep the Mohammedan population in Palestine impressed with Turkish power, and to stir up religious unrest among the natives in Egypt.

    Refugee crises are one of the gravest problems facing the modern world. This book explores the paradox of why countries such as Britain pride themselves on their past treatment of refugees yet are suspicious and hostile towards asylum seekers trying to gain entry. It explores the contemporary treatment and representation of refugees ranging from the Huguenots in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries through to the many groups that have gained entry more recently. Was the treatment of refugees such as Jews escaping Tsarist and later Nazi persecution as welcoming as politicians and others now make out? Why have some groups been remembered positively, whilst others have been forgotten? Remembering refugees plays particular attention to how historians and those in the heritage industry have dealt with the refugee presence. By adopting an original and critical framework, it asks why a variety of academic disciplines, as well as politicians, the media and the general public, have difficulty with refugees. A richly textured book that utilizes a huge range of sources from parliamentary debates through to novels, films and autobiographical writing, it argues that the current panic about refugees and asylum seekers says more about the moral failings of contemporary society than it does about those fleeing persecution.

    Die Untersuchung erhellt die wiederkehrenden Vorgehensweisen und Ursachen des Genozids. Erreicht wurde dies durch Urteilsanalysen von acht Verfahren zu 25 Angeklagten vor internationalen Strafgerichtshöfen. Über alle untersuchten Genozide hinweg stechen die Faktoren Bedrohungsszenarien, Autorisierung und Dehumanisierung hervor. Es ist eine Eigenschaft des Genozids, dass sich die gesellschaftlich dominante Bevölkerungsgruppe - meist die Mehrheit - von der genozidalen Opfergruppe bedroht fühlt. Der Genozid wird in diesem Zusammenhang als "Bedrohungsabwehr" eingesetzt. Sowohl die Bedrohungsassoziation als auch der Bedrohungsgrad werden verstärkt, indem auf die Andersartigkeit der Opfergruppe verwiesen wird, wonach sie von Natur aus nicht anders könne, als die dominierende Bevölkerungsgruppe anzugreifen.

    A woman wearing a ballgown singing in the snow for returning ski troops; a technician's tears ruining a master recording of a new wartime song; fresh recruits spontaneously standing and doffing their caps to a new song, thereby creating the new wartime anthem. This well researched, multi-faceted book depicts the relationship between song and society during World War II in the USSR. Chapter topics range from the creation and distribution of the songs to how the public received and shaped them. The body of song that came out of that era created a true cultural legacy which reflected both the hearts of the individuals fighting as well as the narrative of the party and state in bringing the nation to victory.
