La crise sanitaire provoquée par la Covid-19 a révélé et accentué d’importantes inégalités sociales liées à la classe, au genre et à la race, et ce notamment dans de nombreux pays occidentaux. Ces inégalités mettent à l’épreuve les modèles politiques démocratiques et libéraux et permettent aussi de reposer la question de la solidarité à de nouveaux frais.

The Library of the Labour Movement, Finland, has supplemented its Collection of Socialism, Marxism and Other Leftist Ideologies with relevant, and partly rare, foreign ephemera and booklets. The material has been catalogued into the library’s database and is now available for public use. The cataloguing project was funded by Yrjö Sirola Foundation.

Organised workers’ movements first appeared as a significant social force in the British Caribbean Region Colonies before the Second World War. Anticolonial movements began to gather momentum in the region around the same time. Socialists and socialist ideas played a significant part in both sets of movements, particularly as they developed and began to see political success in the post-war era.

Zu den Aufgaben der Luxemburger Nationalbibliothek gehört u.a. die Erforschung der Luxemburger Bibliothekslandschaft vom Echternacher Skriptorium bis ins 21. Jahrhundert. Die Tagung NS-Bibliothekspolitik und -praxis in Europa schreibt sich in diesen Forschungsschwerpunkt ein. Ziel ist es, die Bibliothekslandschaft in den angeschlossenen und besetzten Gebieten im europäischen Vergleich zu beschreiben.

Although fighting in the European theatre of World War II officially ended in May 1945, for millions of displaced and homeless individuals the struggle had only begun. Large groups of ethnic minorities were subjected to resettlement policies that uprooted them from their former homes. Others, mainly from Eastern Europe, fought against repatriation to their countries of origin. At the same time, Allied occupiers and new governments across the continent began to rethink what sovereignty might look like after the war.

The research group “The Ottoman Europe: Methods and Perspectives of Early Modern Studies on Southeast Europe” (http://www.osmanisches-europa.de) is a Germany-based, open circle of scholars from different fields of historical research as East- and Southeast European history, Ottoman studies and philology of all relevant languages. Our common interest lies in multidisciplinary Early-Modern studies on Southeast Europe, roughly the zone of Ottoman dominance or influence.

"Special Issue Call for Papers - Journal of Labor and Society: Imperialism and Resistance in Middle East and North Africa A decade after the epochal revolutions of 2011, the Middle East and North Africa is subject to an extraordinary condensation of the old and new aspects of imperialism. For instance, the 'settler-colonialism' of Israel and the pertinent effects of the 'classical' occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq endure in tandem with new forms of external and regional military interventions.
