What kind of questions of social solidarity are posed to European societies by increasing numbers of migrants? How should the left, with a tradition of defending internationalism and progressive forms of social solidarity respond? What can we learn from historical and global examples? Within the scope of this symposium, social and cultural activists, professors from Indiana University and re:work fellows will discuss critical questions about labor migration and the role of the state in regional width as well as in historical depth.

10:00am-12:00pm 

Les temps sont venus de donner aux socialismes africains et/ou aux socialismes en Afrique la place qui leur revient dans l’historiographie générale du socialisme et dans celle de l’Afrique. Les histoires du, des socialismes, qu’ils soient ou non « réels » oublient systématiquement l’Afrique.

1917 was an important year for historical change on a global scale - not only due to the American entry into the War and the Russian Revolution. The year can rightly be considered the turning point of the First World War and the foundations for the decisive structures of the short 20th century. Contemporary observers recognized these global connections very well. But in the historiography limited to the Nation State these global connections did not matter for decades. This has changed during recent years.

On 25 February 2016 the seventy-fifth anniversary of the February Strike will be commemorated in front of the synagogue and the Dokwerker [Dockworker] Monument in Amsterdam. Exactly seventy-five years ago, on 25 February 1941, a general strike broke out in Amsterdam in protest at the German occupation and persecution of the Jews. It was commemorated for the first time in 1946, and then in every subsequent year.
