Es vergibt zu diesem Zweck jährlich bis zu drei Forschungsstipendien und zwei Förderstipendien sowie alle drei Jahre den „Preis des Historischen Kollegs“. Die Forschungsstipendien, deren Verleihung zugleich eine Auszeichnung für die bisherigen Lei- stungen darstellt, sollen den berufenen Wissenschaftlern während eines Kollegjahres die Möglich- keit bieten, frei von anderen Verpflichtungen eine größere Arbeit abzuschließen. Professor Dr. Thomas Welskopp (Bielefeld) war – zusammen mit Prof. Dr. Gian Luca Potestà (Mailand), Dr. Martina Giese (Düsseldorf) und PD Dr. Jörg Ganzenmüller (Jena) – Stipendiat des Historischen Kollegs im Kollegjahr 2008/2009.

April 2009 im Histo- rischen Kolleg gehalten. Die Ergebnisse des Kolloquiums werden in diesem Band veröffentlicht. Das Historische Kolleg wird seit dem Kollegjahr 2000/2001 – im Sinne einer „public private part- nership“ – in seiner Grundausstattung vom Freistaat Bayern finanziert, die Mittel für die Stipendien stellen gegenwärtig die Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, der Stiftungsfonds Deutsche Bank, die Gerda Hen- kel Stiftung und der Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft zur Verfügung. Träger des Histo- rischen Kollegs, das vom Stiftungsfonds Deutsche Bank und vom Stifterverband errichtet und zu- nächst allein finanziert wurde, ist die „Stiftung zur Förderung der Historischen Kommission bei der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und des Historischen Kollegs“.

April 2009 am Historischen Kolleg München stattfand. Der experimentelle, offene Charakter eines Work- shops und der Mix der Beiträger, Kommentatoren und Gäste trugen zu einer außergewöhnlich intensiven Diskussionsatmosphäre bei, die für einen auch in- haltlich außergewöhnlich reichhaltigen Ertrag sorgte. Dieser Ertrag wird mit den folgenden Beiträgen dokumentiert, ergänzt durch den Essay aus der Feder Chri- stopher McKnight Nichols’, der nach der Konferenz eingeworben wurde. Die hier abgedruckten Beiträge haben von den engagierten Kommentaren An- gelika Epples, Andreas Etges’, Wolfgang Knöbls, Christof Mauchs und Kiran Klaus Patels auf der Tagung ungemein profitiert, deren Einlassen auf die Themen und Bereitschaft zu sorgfältiger Kritik nicht zuletzt auch dadurch motiviert wa- ren, dass ihnen kein druckfertiges Manuskript abverlangt wurde. Um die Ergebnisse der Diskussion eines „amerikanischen“ Themas auch für die amerikanische Fachwissenschaft zugänglicher zu machen, haben sich die Heraus- geber auf Anregung der Tagungsteilnehmer entschlossen, den Band in englischer Sprache zu veröffentlichen. Das konnte deshalb relativ unaufwändig geschehen, weil mit dem Mitherausgeber Alan Lessoff ein begnadeter muttersprachlicher Copy Editor zur Verfügung stand, der ein bewundernswertes Stück Arbeit in die finale Gestaltung dieses Bandes gesteckt hat. Zum Gelingen des Forschungskolloquiums und zur Motivation für den vor- liegenden Band hat schließlich fraglos der Genius Loci des Historischen Kollegs beigetragen, der meiner Ansicht nach optimalen Form der Forschungsförderung in der Geschichtswissenschaft. Hier sei für die Organisation der Tagung Frau Dr. Elisabeth Müller-Luckner ganz speziell gedankt und allgemein Herrn Dr. Karl-Ulrich Gelberg und dem ganzen Team von der Kaulbachvilla.

Without being expressly required to do so, most of the conference papers did indeed explicitly or implicitly deal with the problem of “modernity”. Whether or not the people or groups or institutions and organizations the authors analyzed made the question of “the modern” a topic of discourse, the papers gravitated to- wards issues such as the “dark underside” of modernity, its moral ambiguities and normative deceptions, its manipulative features, exclusionary tendencies, inherent violence, and cultural margins. Most papers focused on phenomena related to fac- ets of modernity and reactions to them regardless of whether the term itself played a role in the contemporary debate or not. For the present volume, the papers have been reworked into essays which have markedly sharpened this per- spective. We as the editors now have

  • Changing Attitudes Towards Immigration in the 1920S
    Higher History: European and World USA, 1918 – 1968: Changing Attitudes towards Immigration in the 1920s 2 Issue 1: An Evaluation of the Reasons for Changing Attitudes towards Immigration in the 1920s. A. Background Learning Intentions: To explain America’s demographics before 1920 and the reasons for this. To create an introduction. A Nation of Minorities The USA is often referred to as the ‘land of the free’ and ‘the land of opportunity’. People of many races emigrated from their country of birth to start a new life. The USA was willing to take in people who felt they had to leave their native country. The vast majority of those who journeyed to America did so in an attempt to improve their lives and the prospects for their children. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these the homeless, tempest tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door. 3 ‚An American is somebody who came from somewhere else to become someone else‛ In 1900, the USA was a mixture of all nationalities of people, so much so that it has often been referred to as a ‘melting pot’. ‚The great melting pot of America, the place where we are all made Americans…where men of every race and every origin…ought to send their children, and where, being mixed together, they are all infused with the American spirit and developed into the American man and the American woman.‛ Woodrow Wilson, 1915. There are few places in the world not represented within America’s population.

    Heike Jöns · Peter Meusburger Michael Heff ernan Editors Klaus Tschira Symposia Knowledge and Space 10 Mobilities of Knowledge Knowledge and Space Volume 10 Series editor Peter Meusburger, Department of Geography, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany Knowledge and Space This book series entitled “Knowledge and Space” is dedicated to topics dealing with the production, dissemination, spatial distribution, and application of knowledge. Recent work on the spatial dimension of knowledge, education, and science; learning organizations; and creative milieus has underlined the importance of spatial disparities and local contexts in the creation, legitimation, diffusion, and application of new knowledge. These studies have shown that spatial disparities in knowledge and creativity are not short-term transitional events but rather a fundamental structural element of society and the economy. The volumes in the series on Knowledge and Space cover a broad range of topics relevant to all disciplines in the humanities and social sciences focusing on knowledge, intellectual capital, and human capital: clashes of knowledge; milieus of creativity; geographies of science; cultural memories; knowledge and the economy; learning organizations; knowledge and power; ethnic and cultural dimensions of knowledge; knowledge and action; and mobilities of knowledge. These topics are analyzed and discussed by scholars from a range of disciplines, schools of thought, and academic cultures. Knowledge and Space is the outcome of an agreement concluded by the Klaus

  • Contesting the Nation, 1900–1965
    Contesting the Nation, 1900–1965 Fath Davis Ruffins In 1903, when the African American scholar and activist W. E. B. Du Bois wrote that “the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color-line,” he was in the middle of a very long life.1 Du Bois was born in 1868, the same year that the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed2 (Figure 1). He spent his childhood in a society reeling from the Civil War. After the war he lived through deeply oppressive years when the nation became segregated by law and by custom. Violence against people of color rose to new heights of brutality. He also witnessed some of the bittersweet triumphs of the modern civil rights movement.3 Du Bois died in Ghana, West Africa on 28 August 1963, the same day as the historic March on Washington, and his passing was announced from the podium. His prediction about the color line turned out to be completely correct. In 1900, most native-born white Americans believed that an Anglo-Protes- tant white supremacist racial hierarchy was crucial for national stability and iden- tity, and that all immigrants should assimilate as soon as possible. These views restricted all people of color to limited social, economic, and educational spheres. The related political movement meant to protect the interests of native-born or long-established inhabitants against those of immigrants was called “nativism,” and nativist elected officials developed new laws to restrict the number of immi- grants from certain parts of the world. Yet by the end of Du Bois’s lifetime, enough 137 Figure 1.
