September 2019Akte Luftballon
Zwei Mädchen, eine Mauer, eine Freundschaft fürs Leben
by Stefanie Wally
Ein kleiner gelber Luftballon überwindet Grenzen und schenkt der sechsjährigen Stefanie aus Dossenheim bei Heidelberg im Frühling 1977 eine Brieffreundin aus Lommatzsch bei Meißen. In unzähligen Briefen, die anfangs die ersten Schreibversuche der Mädchen sind, verbinden sie im Laufe der Jahre ihre Leben miteinander. Stefanie Wally erzählt die wahre Geschichte dieser tiefen und ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft und schildert in mitreißender Frische, was die Generation der in den 1970er-Jahren Geborenen umtrieb. Eine ebenso flott geschriebene wie nachdenklich machende Geschichte zweier Freundinnen im geteilten Deutschland. Eine Frauenfreundschaft, die Grenzen überwindet.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2021Ireland and the European Union
Economic, political and social crises
by Michael Holmes, Kathryn Simpson, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Kathryn Simpson, Paul Tobin
This book examines how Ireland's relationship with the EU was affected by a succession of crises in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The financial crisis, the Brexit crisis and the migration crisis were not of equal significance on the island of Ireland. The financial crisis was a huge issue for the Republic but not Northern Ireland, Brexit had a major impact in both polities, the migration and populism issues were less controversial, while foreign policy challenges had a minimal impact. The book provides a summary of the main features of each of the crises to be considered, from both the EU and the Irish perspective. Ireland and the European Union is the first volume of its kind to provide a comprehensive analysis on British-Irish relations in the context of Brexit. It assesses the Withdrawal Agreement and Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, the devolution settlement and the 1998 Agreement, as well as the European dimension to Northern Ireland's peace process. The contributors explore a number of policy areas that are central to the understanding of each of the crises and the impact of each for Ireland. Chapters examine issues such as security, migration and taxation as well as protest politics, political parties, the media, public opinion and the economic impact of each of these crises on Ireland's relationship with the EU.

MedicineNovember 2019Migrant architects of the NHS
South Asian doctors and the reinvention of British general practice (1940s-1980s)
by Julian Simpson, Keir Waddington
Migrant architects of the NHS draws on forty-five oral history interviews and extensive archival research to offer a radical reappraisal of how the National Health Service was made. It tells the story of migrant South Asian doctors who became general practitioners in the NHS. Imperial legacies, professional discrimination and an exodus of UK-trained doctors combined to direct these doctors towards work as GPs in some of the most deprived parts of the UK. In some areas, they made up over half of the general practitioner workforce. The NHS was structurally dependent on them and they shaped British society and medicine through their agency. Aimed at students and academics with interests in the history of immigration, immigration studies, the history of medicine, South Asian studies and oral history. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about how Empire and migration have contributed to making Britain what it is today.

September 2019Die Walliser Vierzeiler/Les Quatrains Valaisans
Deutsch und französisch
by Rainer Maria Rilke, Gerhard Falkner, Nora Matocza, Christophe Mitlehner
Auf der Suche nach einem neuen Wohnsitz bereiste Rainer Maria Rilke im Sommer 1919 auch den Kanton Wallis, wo er sich nur wenige Jahre später dauerhaft niederließ. Von Anfang an, so bezeugen es zahlreiche Briefe, war Rilke eingenommen von dem breiten, von Hochgebirgsketten flankierten Tal. »Welches Land«, schrieb er 1921, »hat so viele Einzelheiten in so großem Zusammenhang; es ist wie der Schlußsatz einer Beethoven-Symphonie.« Und im selben Jahr heißt es in einem anderen Brief: »Dieses Wallis … ist eine unvergleichliche Landschaft.« Im Spätsommer 1924 entstand in französischer Sprache der Zyklus der Quatrains Valaisans, der Walliser Vierzeiler. In ihrer Übertragung realisieren Gerhard Falkner und Nora Matocza den konsequenten Endreim des Originals erstmals auch in deutscher Sprache.
