Andy, Der Musik Begeisterte, Andy, Der Sport Liebhaber, Andy, Der Sozial Engagierte, Andy, Der Hundefreund...Andy Andy, der Musik Begeisterte, Andy, der Sport Liebhaber, Andy, der Sozial Engagierte, Andy, der Hundefreund...Andy... Welchen Andy wollen wir zu seinem 60. Geburtstag ansprechen? Ich dachte mir, einer Deiner liebsten Eigenschaften ist die Treue mit der Du zu Deinen Freunden stehst, sie nie vergisst und mit ihnen, wo immer Du auch sein magst, im Kontakt bleibst - das ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Deine große Liebe gehört dem geschriebenen Wort. Bücher begleiteten Dich von Früh an durchs Leben, also ist es nur natürlich, dass Du zu Deinem großen Geburtstag, auch was "Geschriebenes und Gebundenes" bekommst. Es ist ein Band zusammengestellt mit viel Liebe von einem Teil Deiner Freunde - wir konnten nur einen Querschnitt nehmen, der Dir zeigen soll, wie verbunden alle mit Dir sind und es nicht als selbstverständlich nehmen, Dich Freund nennen zu können. Du wirst hier Studenten, alte Freunde, Kollegen wieder finden, deren Leben Du in irgendeiner Weise berührt hast und die Dir mit ihrem Beitrag zeigen wollen, wie wichtig der Kontakt mit Dir ihnen ist und wie sehr Du ihr Leben beeinflusst hast. Ich habe viele dieser Freunde kennen gelernt, noch nicht alle, manche davon sind auch meine Freunde geworden alle sind was Besonderes - Du kannst Dich glücklich schätzen und ich weiß, dass Du das tust, umringt, geschätzt, geliebt und getragen zu werden von Menschen, die zu Dir stehen und Deine Ideen, die Dir am Herzen liegen verstehen und unterstützen. Ein ganz besonderer Freundschaftsbeweis kommt von Yvonne de Andrés, die dieses Buch erst wirklich zum Leben erwachen ließ und mich wo, sie nur konnte unterstützte. Ich wünsche Dir viel Freude mit diesem Band und hoffe, dass wir noch viele "runde" Geburtstage mit Dir feiern können. Innigst verbunden, Kiki Andys Birthdaybook 1 How Andy and I met: by Eric Ambinder An e-mail address brought Andy and I together, sparking a unique study that we worked on throughout my four years at Michigan. More importantly, it spawned a life-long friendship. [email protected]. “You are a Knick fan? So am I. Of course you can take my class,” was Andy’s response to an e-mail requesting that I be added to the closed Sociology 212: Sports and Society course. I boasted to family and friends that UM professors must be cool if they grant overrides for Knick fans. Little did I know how much cooler Andy was than all other Michigan professors. I truly got to know Andy when he asked for help in Sports and Society class about an idea he had on sports culture. I had been the only student to come to office hours that afternoon to offer help. “You’re just a freshman,” Andy said surprisingly. I guess he was impressed because that afternoon we started brainstorming ideas about how to measure UM students’ and student- athletes’ cultural and casual involvement with sport. Our research project was born. When we weren’t administering questionnaires to the men’s basketball team (and 30 other Michigan sports teams) or meeting with the folks at the ISR or coding the questionnaires, we grew closer over long discussions about Michigan football and basketball, the New York Knicks, dogs and our families. And then one day Andy invited me to his house for dinner. The great Andy Markovits asking me over so his wife can cook us a delicious dinner!?! After our first dinner together, “Andy the great” became Andy, a great friend. Andy’s wonderful wife Kiki and I quickly bonded. And I bonded with the family’s golden retriever Stormy, who I babysat occasionally. and the rest is history. Andys Birthdaybook 2 Andy, Your mentorship and friendship have made an indelible mark on my life. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. I wish you a wonderful 60th birthday filled with love and happiness. I will never forget what you have added to my life. Lots of love, Eric Ambinder Andys Birthdaybook 3 Gulie Ne'eman Arad It was in the late 1980s (at my advanced age and being a historian I am not expected to remember exact dates), that it was announced that an American visiting professor will give a graduate course at Tel Aviv University. As soon as he walked into class and opened his mouth, I was back in Berkeley of 1968. He was funny, smart, and so erudite – I immediately wish he could stay so I could book him as my dissertation advisor. However, nothing impressed me as much as when I discovered his Yiddishkeit, a language and culture I love, and a feature that unfortunately few of my generation of Israelis possess. Despite our political differences, we share a historical past (his real, mine acquired), that binds us. As in every relationship, nothing is perfect and my biggest fault, which I trust he would never forget, was calling him one year in the middle of the Super- Bowl. He was so disappointed that I violated the sacredness of the day, and punkt had to call. Och und vei, may God forgive me. I have learned so much form Andush, but I am most thankful to him for having taught me to love dogs. Blackie, Arad and I are wishing you a happy birthday and many more happy years with Kiki. Love, Gulie Andys Birthdaybook 4 How I Met Andy by David Art It was February 2000, and the Austrians had just formed their infamous blue- black coalition. This was bad news for most Austrians, but a welcome development for me as I was preparing to write a doctoral dissertation at MIT comparing and contrasting the politics of the Nazi past in Germany and Austria. I first heard Andy’s voice when he jabbed with Danny Goldhagen and Roger Cohen on “The Connection” with Christopher Lydon. Later that month, Tony Judt organized a conference on the Austrian crisis at NYU to which Andy was invited. It was kind of a long ride (Boston-New York--Boston) for a two-hour event, but I wanted to meet this guy. After the panel, I introduced myself to Andy and told him I had come specifically to hear him (hopefully I had the tact to mention this after the other speakers were out of earshot, but I can’t remember). His response: “when I was your age, I used to follow The Dead. And now you are following me!” Several months later, Andy agreed to join my dissertation committee. He and Kiki had just moved to Ann Arbor, and he suggested I come out to schmooze with him. This was an invitation I couldn’t pass up, and we spent the better part of two days discussing the ins-and-outs of Austrian politics, far right movements in Germany, the legacy of the Nazi past, and, of course, sports. In fact, I’m pretty sure we talked sports for most of the time. He gave me a ton of names for my field-work in Germany and Austria. But, more importantly, he helped convince me that I was on the right track during the most intellectually ambiguous period in my life. I’m pretty sure he also continued to pull some strings as I turned the dissertation into a book. In short, taking that bus-trip down to New York was one of the smarter things I’ve done in my life. It helped me find a fantastic advisor, brilliant scholar, fellow sports junky, and mensch extraordinaire. I remain a Markovits roadie: I’ve heard him in Berlin, Chicago, DC, Cambridge, and probably some other cities I’ve forgotten about. There is nothing better for the mind and soul after a day of sitting through trivial political science panels than listening to Andy. His passion for social science Andys Birthdaybook 5 and questions that matter is infectious. My only wish is that I could see him more often. Happy sixtieth Andy! David Art Andys Birthdaybook 6 Volker Bahl & Angelika Bahl-Becker Lieber Andy, wo und wann habe ich (V.) dich kennen gelernt? Jedenfalls im Berlin der „nach 68-Jahre“, an der FU Berlin bei Wolf-Dieter Narr. In diesen 70er Jahren, in denen sich der spontane Aufbruch von 68 eher dogmatisch verfestigte, war es besonders schön, sich unter dem Signum „undogmatisch“ geistig zu begegnen und zu verständigen. Nach der Wissenschaft in Berlin (Thema von V.: „Strukturwandel des Staates - insbesondere am Beispiel der Kohlewirtschaft") - war Volker Redakteur bei den "Gewerkschaftlichen Monatsheften", der wissenschaftlichen Zeitschrift des DGB. Andy war darin - bis zur bedauerlichen Einstellung der Hefte - ein gern gelesener Autor, entdeckte Volker im Impressum, rief an und erinnerte an die Berliner Gespräche. Das war der Beginn eines inzwischen über die Jahrzehnte währenden Kontakts und Dialogs - nicht nur über Gewerkschaften! Ach Andy, unvergessen sind besonders zwei impressionistische Essays in den GMH: einer über die Frauen in den Gewerkschaften, der andere über Gewerkschaftshäuser und ihre kommunikationseinschränkende bis - verhindernde Wirkung. Vielleicht wurde dabei mehr über deutsche Gewerkschaften „erzählt“ als in manch wissenschaftlicher Erörterung. Du hast damals am "Center for European Studies" in einem großen Projekt über die west- europäischen Gewerkschaften geforscht; wir arbeiteten beide in den Gewerkschaften (V.: DGB, A.: IG Metall) - das brachte uns zu spannenden Diskussionen in unserer Frankfurter Wohnung, in der du damals häufiger und hoch willkommener Gast warst! 1980 besuchten wir dich in Harvard und lernten das „Center“ kennen. Dein Büro, übernommen von K.W. Deutsch, war so schön und ich (V.) habe es besonders geliebt! Wir haben in diesem Sommer von dir viel über die USA gelernt und in New York bekamen wir deine persönliche Führung an der Columbia University über „deine Orte" von 68. Ein paar Tage später hatten wir das seltene Erlebnis, dich auf einem Panel des amerikanischen Politologenkongresses zum deutschen Stahlarbeiterstreik (35-Stundenwoche) zu erleben.

  • 2015 University of Michigan Press Book Award Andrei Markovits
    2015 University of Michigan Press Book Award Andrei Markovits Arthur F. Thurnau Professor Karl W. Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies Professor of Germanic Languages and Literature Professor of Political Science Professor of Sociology College of Literature, Science, and the Arts From Property to Family: American Dog Rescue and the Discourse of Compassion (2014) by political scientist, sociologist, and award-winning teacher Andrei Markovits and co-author Katherine Crosby is the culmination of his longtime scholarly interest in the "discourse of compassion," which alters the way we treat people and ideas previously scorned by the social mainstream. The authors posit that compassion has been a driving force in the reshaping of human–animal relations and public discourse, resulting in better conditions for animals in the United States. Breed specific canine rescue organizations, led primarily by women volunteers, are among the institutions that arose from this attitudinal and behavioral shift, identified by the authors as a “culture turn,” which led to an “animal turn” with animals becoming family members rather than property. From Property to Family, the first academic research on this development, explores the history of breed specific canine rescue and rescue of stigmatized breeds, topography of dog registrations by breed, the rise of anti-cruelty statutes between 1970 and 2013, regional differences in rescue efforts, and the role of social media, among other topics. Professor Markovits holds five degrees from Columbia University, a B.A., M.B.A., M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D., and received an honorary doctorate from Germany’s University of Lueneburg.

  • The Myth of “Ethnic Conflict”: Politics, Economics, and “Cultural” Violence
    The Myth of “Ethnic Conflict”: Politics, Economics, and “Cultural” Violence Edited by Beverly Crawford and Ronnie D. Lipschutz Description: In the last decade, discourses of economic and political liberalization and globalization have swept the world. Yet during this same period and all across the globe, many states are fragmenting and more than 30 ethnic and sectarian conflicts have displaced or killed millions of people — and far more civilians than soldiers. The authors in this volume argue that much of this violence is closely linked to those globalizing forces and demands for economic liberalization which have weakened states' capacities, both political and financial, for redistributing resources. As a result, many states have been forced to break established social contracts, often dramatically changing power relations in heterogeneous societies that previously had been relatively stable. Drawing on case studies from Asia, Eastern Europe, North Africa, the former Soviet Union, and the United States, the authors demonstrate how these distributional issues and power shifts have been experienced as ethnic and religious discrimination and are often at the root of identity politics and violent, so-called “cultural,” conflicts.
