The Israeli juridical field elevated in the opposite direction, from a formalistic arena to a liberal, active, individual-oriented and human […]

Abstract: The legacy of settler-colonialism permeates American culture. Remnants of westward expansion remain in our societal divides, political differences, environmental inequities and economic inequalities. Conversations about decolonization, gentrification, and other ongoing practices that precipitate and uphold colonialism are notably found in literature, art, social structures, icons and symbols.

Abstract: Frederick Engels’ 1856 tour of Ireland was key to his and Karl Marx’s political shift away from the idea that colonialism might have a progressive element.

Abstract: Since the first Merkel government in 2009, Germany’s reason of state (Staatsrason) has been increasingly formulated as ‘unconditional solidarity’ with the state of Israel, thus evolving into a logic and practice of erasing Palestine and Palestinians. In such a context, the article delves into the most recent events at German schools and universities since […]

Description: Land and Labour narrates the history of the Potters’ Emigration Society, the most widely discussed project of its kind in the era of mass migration to America.
