Book Synopsis Stories of the Indian Immigrant Communities in Germany by : Amrita Datta
Download or read book Stories of the Indian Immigrant Communities in Germany written by Amrita Datta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the stories of Indian immigrants in Germany, including Blue Card holders and students categorized as highly skilled migrants, as well as others choosing shadow migration pathways in order to leave the country. It investigates their motivations for leaving India and choosing Germany as an immigration destination. Grappling with the stories of tech workers fleeing the pandemic, activists fleeing the witch hunting of the government, women escaping gender(ed) violence and queer people seeking freedom, this book uses reflexivity as an analytical tool. Investigation of their transcultural practices also reveals a general intent among Indians to create homes in Germany, despite several challenges to such efforts, including structural and everyday symbolic racism.
Book Synopsis Germans and Indians by : Colin Gordon Calloway
Download or read book Germans and Indians written by Colin Gordon Calloway and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over three hundred years, the Indian peoples of North America have attracted the interest of diverse segments of German society?missionaries, writers, playwrights, anthropologists, filmmakers, hobbyists and enthusiasts, and even royalty. Today, German scholars continue to be drawn to Indians, as is the German public: tour groups from Germany frequent Plains reservations in the summer, and so-called Indianerclubs, where participants dress up in "authentic" Indian costume, are common. In this fascinating volume, scholars and writers illuminate the longstanding connection between Germans and the Indians. From a range of disciplines and occupations, the contributors probe the historical and cultural roots of the interactions between Germans and Indians and examine how such encounters have been represented in different media over the centuries. Particularly important are reflections and insights by modern Native American writers on this relationship. Of special concern is why such a connection has endured. As the contributors make clear, the encounters between Germans and Indians were also imagined, sometimes as fantasy, sometimes as projection, both resonating deeply with the cultural sensibilities and changing historical circumstances of Germans over the years.
Book Synopsis The Indian Community in German Media Reports by :
Download or read book The Indian Community in German Media Reports written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being rather small, the Indian diaspora in Germany rarely receives much attention in the German media. If it does, however, reports are mostly positive, usually characterizing Indian migrants as part of a highly educated, aspiring, and well-integrated 'migrant elite'. This media image remains heavily influenced by the stereotype of the 'Computer-Indian', brought about by the introduction of a Green Card scheme for IT experts in 2000. Most reports, however, reveal a rather instrumental perspective on Indian migrants; they focus more on the benefits they bring to the German economy than on the migrants' themselves.

This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2014 in the subject Sociology - Politics, Majorities, Minorities, grade: A, Jawaharlal Nehru University , language: English, abstract: The aim of this research is to get a complete picture of the sociolinguistic and sociocultural aspects of Punjabi Indian migrants settled in Germany. Migration brings with it an increased cultural diversity. The question for this thesis is how Punjabi identity is shaped and maintained in Diaspora, what mechanisms allow the Punjabi-speaking migrants to live and work within the new cultural milieu of Germany. The objective is to see, what happens to individuals, who are born and brought up in one cultural context, when they live in a new cultural context. To what extent are cultural identity and characteristics important for the migrants, and what is being done for language and culture maintenance? The basis for this research is intercultural communication and intercultural understanding between the Indians and the Germans. Primary source research for the thesis consisted of surveys and interviews with 240 Punjabi-speaking migrants, mostly Sikhs, of different age, social class and occupation living primarily in 7 different cities of Germany namely Wuppertal, Essen, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Frankfurt and Nuremberg.
Book Synopsis A Peculiar Mixture by : Jan Stievermann
Download or read book A Peculiar Mixture written by Jan Stievermann and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through innovative interdisciplinary methodologies and fresh avenues of inquiry, the nine essays collected in A Peculiar Mixture endeavor to transform how we understand the bewildering multiplicity and complexity that characterized the experience of German-speaking people in the middle colonies. They explore how the various cultural expressions of German speakers helped them bridge regional, religious, and denominational divides and eventually find a way to partake in America’s emerging national identity. Instead of thinking about early American culture and literature as evolving continuously as a singular entity, the contributions to this volume conceive of it as an ever-shifting and tangled “web of contact zones.” They present a society with a plurality of different native and colonial cultures interacting not only with one another but also with cultures and traditions from outside the colonies, in a “peculiar mixture” of Old World practices and New World influences. Aside from the editors, the contributors are Rosalind J. Beiler, Patrick M. Erben, Cynthia G. Falk, Marie Basile McDaniel, Philip Otterness, Liam Riordan, Matthias Schönhofer, and Marianne S. Wokeck.
Download or read book Indianapolis written by M. Teresa Baer and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2012 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The booklet opens with the Delaware Indians prior to 1818. White Americans quickly replaced the natives. Germanic people arrived during the mid-nineteenth century. African American indentured servants and free blacks migrated to Indianapolis. After the Civil War, southern blacks poured into the city. Fleeing war and political unrest, thousands of eastern and southern Europeans came to Indianapolis. Anti-immigration laws slowed immigration until World War II. Afterward, the city welcomed students and professionals from Asia and the Middle East and refugees from war-torn countries such as Vietnam and poor countries such as Mexico. Today, immigrants make Indianapolis more diverse and culturally rich than ever before.
Book Synopsis Christoph Feuge by : Robert Lamar Feuge
Download or read book Christoph Feuge written by Robert Lamar Feuge and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has been and still is a land of immigrants, a melting pot of many races and creeds. From 1832 until 1847, people poured into Texas from the American backwoods and from Europe. They sought the same things: land and a new life in a democratic society. As part of that wave, German immigrants came between 1845 and 1847. They came legally and helped establish what would become major cities in Central Texas. This story is about one immigrant and his family who left Germany expecting to rise from subsistence farming to commercial farming in the New World, only to be thrust into the role of pioneering farmer by an inept emigration company, the Adelsverein. Of course, legal emigration was more difficult in 1846 than it is today. The statement, they came over on the boat, belies the fact that voyages across the ocean were long, tedious, and dangerous. Wagon trains from the coast into the interior of the state were no easier. Hostile Indians, intent on keeping their cultures intact, occupied the land they settled. Creating a farm out of raw wilderness was not for the weak of heart or weak of limb. It took work, more difficult and more dangerous than most of us in the 21st century can imagine. See what it was like to emigrate during the nineteenth century through the story of Christoph Feuge and his large family from Heiningen (Germany) as they travel to Karlshafen (Texas) and on to the colony of Fredericksburg (Texas). Through luck, bold action, and sheer determination, he manages to survive hurricanes, disease, and years of absolute destitution to establish his dream in America. To round out his story of emigration, anecdotes and accounts from other emigrant diaries are added into his story. Thus, the story remakes Christoph Feuge into a Everyman German Immigrant, one who experiences all of what those early German Pioneers went through to put down roots in Texas. Robert Lamar Feuge was born and raised in Fredericksburg, Texas. He is the great, great grandson of the title character of this book. From his earliest days, he has been interested in the history of Fredericksburg and the German settlers who lived it. What was it like to emigrate from Germany to Texas in 1846? A graduate of Fredericksburg High School and Howard Payne College, Robert received his PhD from the University of New Mexico in 1969 and spent much of his adult life in San Diego. He has been an avid beach volleyball player, hiker, and collector of southwestern Indian art. Today, he lives in retirement with his wife, Margaret, and two miniature Dachshunds in Sedona, Arizona.
Book Synopsis Undervalued Dissent by : Manjusha Nair
Download or read book Undervalued Dissent written by Manjusha Nair and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention, 2018 Global Division Book Award presented by the Global Division of the Society for the Study of Social Problems Historically, the Indian state has not offered welfare and social rights to all of its citizens, yet a remarkable characteristic of its polity has been the ability of citizens to dissent in a democratic way. In Undervalued Dissent, Manjusha Nair argues that this democratic space has been vanishing slowly. Based on extensive fieldwork in Chhattisgarh, a regional state in central India, this book examines two different informal workers' movements. Informal workers are not part of organized labor unions and make up eighty-five percent of the Indian workforce. The first movement started in 1977 and was a success, while the other movement began in 1989 and still continues today, without success. The workers in both movements had similar backgrounds, skills, demands, and strategies. Nair maintains that the first movement succeeded because the workers contended within a labor regime that allowed space for democratic dissent, and the second movement failed because they contested within a widely altered labor regime following neoliberal reforms, where these spaces of democratic dissent were preempted. The key difference between the two regimes, Nair suggests, is not in the withdrawal of a prolabor state from its protective and regulatory role, as has been argued by many, but rather in the rise of a new kind of state that became functionally decentralized, economically predatory, and politically communalized. These changes, Nair concludes, successfully de-democratized labor politics in India.

Book Synopsis Becoming German by : Philip L. Otterness
Download or read book Becoming German written by Philip L. Otterness and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming German tells the intriguing story of the largest and earliest mass movement of German-speaking immigrants to America. The so-called Palatine migration of 1709 began in the western part of the Holy Roman Empire, where perhaps as many as thirty thousand people left their homes, lured by rumors that Britain's Queen Anne would give them free passage overseas and land in America. They journeyed down the Rhine and eventually made their way to London, where they settled in refugee camps. The rumors of free passage and land proved false, but, in an attempt to clear the camps, the British government finally agreed to send about three thousand of the immigrants to New York in exchange for several years of labor. After their arrival, the Palatines refused to work as indentured servants and eventually settled in autonomous German communities near the Iroquois of central New York.Becoming German tracks the Palatines' travels from Germany to London to New York City and into the frontier areas of New York. Philip Otterness demonstrates that the Palatines cannot be viewed as a cohesive "German" group until after their arrival in America; indeed, they came from dozens of distinct principalities in the Holy Roman Empire. It was only in refusing to assimilate to British colonial culture—instead maintaining separate German-speaking communities and mixing on friendly terms with Native American neighbors—that the Palatines became German in America.

Download or read book Indianthusiasm written by Hartmut Lutz and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indianthusiasm refers to the European fascination with, and fantasies about, Indigenous peoples of North America, and has its roots in nineteenth-century German colonial imagination. Often manifested in romanticized representations of the past, Indianthusiasm has developed into a veritable industry in Germany and other European nations: there are Western and so-called “Indian” theme parks and a German hobbyist scene that attract people of all social backgrounds and ages to join camps and clubs that practise beading, powwow dancing, and Indigenous lifestyles. Containing interviews with twelve Indigenous authors, artists, and scholars who comment on the German fascination with North American Indigenous Peoples, Indianthusiasm is the first collection to present Indigenous critiques and assessments of this phenomenon. The volume connects two disciplines and strands of scholarship: German Studies and Indigenous Studies, focusing on how Indianthusiam has created both barriers and opportunities for Indigenous peoples with Germans and in Germany.
Book Synopsis Comanches and Germans on the Texas Frontier by : Daniel J. Gelo
Download or read book Comanches and Germans on the Texas Frontier written by Daniel J. Gelo and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2018 Presidio La Bahia Award, sponsored by the Sons of the Republic of Texas In 1851, an article appeared in a German journal, Geographisches Jahrbuch (Geographic Yearbook), that sought to establish definitive connections, using language observations, among the Comanches, Shoshones, and Apaches. Heinrich Berghaus’s study was based on lexical data gathered by a young German settler in Texas, Emil Kriewitz, and included a groundbreaking list of Comanche words and their German translations. Berghaus also offered Kriewitz’s cultural notes on the Comanches, a discussion of the existing literature on the three tribes, and an original map of Comanche hunting grounds. Perhaps because it was published only in German, the existence of Berghaus’s study has been all but unknown to North American scholars, even though it offers valuable insights into Native American languages, toponyms, ethnonyms, hydronyms, and cultural anthropology. It was also a significant document revealing the history of German-Comanche relations in Texas. Daniel J. Gelo and Christopher J. Wickham now make available for the first time a reliable English translation of this important nineteenth-century document. In addition to making the article accessible to English speakers, they also place Berghaus’s work into historical context and provide detailed commentary on its value for anthropologists and historians who study German settlement in Texas. Comanches and Germans on the Texas Frontier will make significant contributions to multiple disciplines, opening a new lens onto Native American ethnography and ethnology.

Book Synopsis Immigration and Conflict in Europe by : Rafaela M. Dancygier
Download or read book Immigration and Conflict in Europe written by Rafaela M. Dancygier and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary debates give the impression that the presence of immigrants necessarily spells strife. Yet as Immigration and Conflict in Europe shows, the incidence of conflict involving immigrants and their descendants has varied widely across groups, cities, and countries. The book presents a theory to account for this uneven pattern, explaining why we observe clashes between immigrants and natives in some locations but not in others and why some cities experience confrontations between immigrants and state actors while others are spared from such conflicts. The book addresses how economic conditions interact with electoral incentives to account for immigrant-native and immigrant-state conflict across groups and cities within Great Britain as well as across Germany and France. It highlights the importance of national immigration regimes and local political economies in shaping immigrants' economic position and political behavior, demonstrating how economic and electoral forces, rather than cultural differences, determine patterns of conflict and calm.
Book Synopsis Germans in the Civil War by : Walter D. Kamphoefner
Download or read book Germans in the Civil War written by Walter D. Kamphoefner and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German Americans were one of the largest immigrant groups in the Civil War era, and they comprised nearly 10 percent of all Union troops. Yet little attention has been paid to their daily lives--both on the battlefield and on the home front--during the war. This collection of letters, written by German immigrants to friends and family back home, provides a new angle to our understanding of the Civil War experience and challenges some long-held assumptions about the immigrant experience at this time. Originally published in Germany in 2002, this collection contains more than three hundred letters written by seventy-eight German immigrants--men and women, soldiers and civilians, from the North and South. Their missives tell of battles and boredom, privation and profiteering, motives for enlistment and desertion and for avoiding involvement altogether. Although written by people with a variety of backgrounds, these letters describe the conflict from a distinctly German standpoint, the editors argue, casting doubt on the claim that the Civil War was the great melting pot that eradicated ethnic antagonisms.
