THE LAST ARTICLE The Nazis had conquered the British Empire. But what use were Panzers and storm troopers against the Empire's most troublesome subject -- Mahatma Gandhi?

The Last Article. " The Last Article " is a short alternate history story by Harry Turtledove (originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction , January 1988; reprinted in There Will Be War VII: Call to Battle! (edited by Jerry Pournelle, 1988), the Turtledove collection Kaleidoscope (1990), in The Best Military Science Fiction of the Twentieth Century, (Turtledove and Martin H. Greenberg, eds., 2001), in the omnibus volume 3xT (2004) and in the collection The Best of Harry Turtledove (2021). It was also translated into German and reprinted in the anthology Hiroshima soll leben! ( Hiroshima Shall Live! , Karl Michael Armer, 1990). Set in 1947, "The Last Article" depicts the occupation of India by the Nazis following their victory in World War II. The point of divergence appears to be the success of Operation Sea Lion in 1940. Mohandas Gandhi continues to employ techniques of Satyagraha against the occupation forces led by Field Marshal Walther Model. While the techniques may have worked well against the British, the Germans respond with violence. Despite Jawaharlal Nehru's urging that Gandhi to change tactics, Gandhi does not comprehend the horrific violence the Nazis were willing to employ, and refuses. He is finally arrested and summarily executed by Model. The theme of this story is summed up at the end, as Gandhi realizes that his pacifism worked because the British were at least capable of being ethical, although they didn't always act ethically. The Nazis, on the hand, were by definition unethical, and so had to be met with force. The story title comes from a line in Gandhi's 1922 address to a British court. "Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed." Literary Note [ edit | edit source ] Turtledove includes certain details and plot points that suggest that "The Last Article" could take place in the same timeline as In the Presence of Mine Enemies . Specifically, American neutrality during World War II seems the primary Point of Divergence in both, Britain meets defeat early on, and the Soviet Union is finally defeated sometime later. Presence notes that India is a critical part of the Greater German Reich . Turtledove has never addressed this. "The Phantom Tolbukhin" could also fit into the In the Presence of Mine Enemies timeline. However, it cannot be in the same universe as "The Last Article". In "The Phantom Tolbukhin", Georgy Zhukov is killed during Stalin's Great Purge in 1937-8. In "The Last Article", Zhukov is executed by Walther Model in 1946. Since Zhukov is not mentioned in In the Presence of Mine Enemies , neither reference contradicts the longer book. "Shtetl Days" is set perhaps a century after a German victory in WWII. It is unclear whether this work is connected to any of the others. Throughout the Crosstime Traffic Series, we are told of numerous alternates where the Germans won WWII, without any specific detail.

"And So to Bed” -- Samuel Pepys, in a world where Neanderthals were never supplanted by modern man in the New World, develops the theory of evolution. I appreciated Turtledove’s technical skill in reproducing, via diary, Pepys world (and, I assume, style though I never read Pepys) with wit. *“Bluff” -- A story based – with acknowledgements – on the ideas of neurologist Julian Jaynes’ The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of Bicameral Mind. Jaynes postulated that primitive man was not truly conscious (defined by psychologist Helga Stein in this story, as being aware, of manipulating mentally metaphorical representations of objects and ideas) and operated on pattern recognition and habit. (Not as silly as it sounds. As Turtledove points out, complex activities like typing and playing a musical instrument are best done unconsciously.) When a novel situation presents itself, the right side of the brain generates auditory and visual hallucinations – often interpreted as gods and dead ancestors speaking. As earth survey mission finds an entire alien civilization at the Bronze Age level built by unconsciousness aliens. But just as Jaynes’ theory as consciousness developing when things get to complicated, so it is starting in this culture with alien soldier Tushratta (consciousness first begins in merchants and soldiers who deal with strangers who hear other gods’ voices; gradually, they realize that these strangers have inner selves and begin to think of their inner self). A casual poker game with Tushratta and the humans ends in the corruption of the alien culture, the emergence of tyranny, and the beginnings of Tushratta’s consciousness. He is introduced to the idea of bluffing and, its close relation, lying. Turtledove makes a valid point that lying – consciously holding an image of reality and then constructing a distortion of it for social presentation – is a quintessentially conscious act. Tushratta, at story’s end, is plotting his rise to power via the idea of “bluff”. An intriguing story that puts to good use an interesting scientific theory. *“A Difficult Undertaking” -- Basically a pun story set in Turtledove’s alternate Byzantine fantasy universe of the Empire of Videssos; allegedly, this story is based on an incident from Byzantine princess Anna Commena (Turtledove does, after all, have a PhD in Byzantine history) about a soldier escaping a siege by appearing to be dead and transported across enemy lines in a coffin. *”The Weather’s Fine” -- A strange, delightful fantasy based on the conceit that the years and not the temperature changes with the weather. “Year conditioners” maintain a constant time. Objects like clothes and calculators (or slide rules depending on the year) change with time as do people’s money and memories. A couple in the story, a couple with an unpleasant past, reunite as the man decides to leave the Eighties for the year-conditioned sixties his beloved is so fond of. (Appropriately enough, the story is told in present tense.) Rationally the story is absurd and rife with obvious violations of causality, and the society described seems, on close thought, unworkable, but rationality and plausibility are not what pure fantasy is about, and this story is a good, original fantasy. *”Crybaby” -- A mainstream horror story certain to scare prospective parents. Turtledove effectively shows a good, average man driven to near insanity by his colicky baby (Turtledove remarks, in the intro, that one of his daughters was colicky). Gradually he becomes convinced the child is deliberately tormenting him, challenging him to respond. He does, in a rage, and the story ends with the accidental killing of the man’s wife and his suicide. In a typical horror “the monster-is-not-dead” ending, the baby ends up with its aunt and uncle who think they can handle the child’s crying.

German Thought Pat- terns about Europe 132 pp. with 14 Illus., 210x 247,5 mm, hard-cover, English ISBN 978-3-936681-96-3 Euro 39.00, £ 29.90, US $ 46.00 The term Europe has not always been understood in the same way. Depending on the period and influenced by the dominant interpret- ing elites at the time, it was always different features that were emphasised, ›new‹ traditions that were discovered and ›created‹, and different values – specific to the period – that were claimed as European. Europe is a construct. That is as true today as in the period before 1945. This monograph focuses on »Sachbücher« (nonfiction books), travelogues and literary-political writings by eight authors who play- ed a key role in the discourse on Europe in the Third Reich and also partly in the early German Federal Republic. One of them is Walter Kiaulehn. In World War II, in the periodical Signal, Kiaulehn draws up a European »family tree« of a somewhat different, totalitarian kind – naturally excluding semi-Asiatic Russia as well as England, »a refugee from Europe«. England has »swum off« in the direction of the USA. For Ernst Wilhelm Eschmann, Great Britain and France belong to the »margins of Europe« anyway, while the central pow- ers, Germany and Italy, constitute the actual core of the continent. Europe evolves from the centre, and it is characteristically medial, balanced, mediating between tradition and progress.

Fink (3946959) 8th of August 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project is dedicated to all the people who are stuck in poverty as a result of marginalization and to the activists who are struggling for their own and others survival and recognition. I thank my co-researchers for being so open to share their words with a wider public, for their inspiration and curiosity. I am indebted to (queer) feminist communities that made me experience alternative ways of relating and for the conversations and actions in which we encountered each other. Particularly I thank Julka, who taught me how to build and nourish a meaningful relationship despite differences. My grateful thanks are also extended to Jacky, for the marvellous support and the time invested in this project. I would like to especially thank Domitilla, my supervisor and mentor for her expert advice, her encouragement and for the critical questions she provided throughout the research and writing process. I want to thank the Gender and Ethnicity Master-program for being a family of critical thinkers that provided inspiration for my activism. This project and my studies in Utrecht would have been impossible without the support of the scholarship from the Hans-Böckler-Stiftung. I would like to acknowledge the support from all the people around me, in Utrecht and elsewhere.

Contact: [email protected] MAHATMA GANDHI’S SATYAGRAHA MOVEMENTS DAVID M. TRABOULAY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In my hometown of San Fernando, Trinidad, in the old administrative center called Harris Promenade, there is an impressive statue of Mahatma Gandhi striding forward with his head high looking towards the sea. I became interested in Gandhi as a boy, as, indeed, did all Indians of Trinidad. The descendants of nineteenth century indentured immigrants from India organized the movement to erect a statue of Gandhi to commemorate the achievements of Indians in Trinidad. West Indians of Indian and African ancestry experienced the bitterness of indentured servitude and slavery but by the 1950s had happily achieved advancement socially, economically, and politically, and in 1962 Trinidad won its independence from Great Britain. The statue of Gandhi signified not only the achievement of independence in India and Trinidad, but also the particular achievements of former indentured laborers. I have taught a course on Modern India at the City University of New York every year since 1981 and always placed Gandhi’s Satyagraha struggle at the center of the course. There were times when I was amazed how interested my American students were in the figure of Gandhi.
