    Invisible Woman
    Invisible Woman: Growing Up Black in Germany, republished in a new annotated edition, recounts Ika Hügel-Marshall's experiences growing up as the daughter of a white German woman and an African-American man after World War II. As an «occupation baby», born in a small German town in 1947, Ika has a double stigma: Not only has she been born out of wedlock, but she is also Black. Although loved by her mother, Ika's experiences with German society's reaction to her skin color resonate with the insidiousness of racism, thus instilling in her a longing to meet her biological father. When she is seven, the state places her into a church-affiliated orphanage far away from where her mother, sister, and stepfather live. She is exposed to the scorn and cruelty of the nuns entrusted with her care. Despite the institutionalized racism, Ika overcomes these hurdles, and finally, when she is in her forties, she locates her father with the help of a good friend and discovers that she has a loving family in Chicago.

    The Theater of Operations: National Security Affect from the Cold War to the War on Terror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min
    How did the most powerful nation on earth come to embrace terror as the organizing principle of its security policy? In The Theater of Operations, Joseph Masco locates the origins of the present-day U.S. counterterrorism apparatus in the Cold War's "balance of terror". He shows how, after the attacks of 9/11, the U.S. global War on Terror mobilized a wide range of affective, conceptual, and institutional resources established during the Cold War to enable a new planetary theater of operations. Tracing how specific aspects of emotional management, existential danger, state secrecy, and threat awareness have evolved as core aspects of the American social contract, Masco draws on archival, media, and ethnographic resources to offer a new portrait of American national security culture. Undemocratic and unrelenting, this counterterror state prioritizes speculative practices over facts, and ignores everyday forms of violence across climate, capital, and health in an unprecedented effort to anticipate and eliminate terror threats - real, imagined, and emergent. ungekürzt.

    The Heart of Things: A Midwestern Almanac , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 274min
    “I’ve never believed that living in one place means being one thing all the time, condemned like Minnie Pearl to wear the same hat for every performance. Life is more complicated than that.” In this remarkable audiobook of days, John Hildebrand charts the overlapping rings - home, town, countryside - of life in the Midwest. Like E. B. White, Hildebrand locates the humor and drama in ordinary life: church suppers, Friday night football, outdoor weddings, garden compost, family reunions, roadside memorials, camouflage clothing. In these wry, sharply observed essays, the Midwest isn’t "The Land Time Forgot", but a more complicated (and vastly more interesting) place where the good life awaits once we figure exactly out what it means. From his home range in Northwestern Wisconsin, Hildebrand attempts to do just that by boiling down a calendar year to its rich marrow of weather, animals, family, and home - in other words, all the things that matter. ungekürzt.

    Insider-Outsider Research in Qualitative Inquiry (eBook, PDF)
    Insider-Outsider Research in Qualitative Inquiry: New Perspectives on Method and Meaning explores the history, practice and particular benefits of conducting cultural research through a partnership of two researchers: one who is an insider to the culture under study and one who is an outsider. This book unpacks terminology around this type of research that has become outdated or cumbersome, looks at ethical issues and suggests specific methodological approaches. It also locates insider-outsider research, which is by its nature qualitative, in the wider research landscape. The authors specifically describe a researcher partnership, a relationship more intimate and fruitful than a team, much greater than the sum of its parts. Through their own nearly twenty-year research partnership and study of the Israeli Druze, the authors have developed mutual trust that has led to new depths of insight in understanding cultural codes and the meanings they embody. This, and the methods they use, will be illustrated through examples of some of their studies with the Israeli Druze. A highly accessible guide, this book will be of interest to ethnographers and other qualitative researchers, both graduate students and researchers of all levels of experience.

    Kirchenvorstandsarbeit (eBook, PDF)
    Entlang der vier praktisch-theologischen Dimensionen von Kirche als Institution, Organisation, Interaktion und Inszenierung arbeitet die Studie Spannungsfelder der Gemeindeleitung vor Ort heraus. Die Datenauswertung dreier repräsentativer Erhebungen des Sozialwissenschaftlichen Instituts der EKD zeigt auf, inwiefern die Kirchenvorsteher eine besondere Gruppe von kirchlich hoch verbundenen Ehrenamtlichen bilden. Eigene qualitative Untersuchungen von Werbematerialien für Kirchenwahlen, Einführungsgottesdiensten für Kirchenälteste und KV-Tagen vertiefen diese Ergebnisse. Im Schlussteil der Arbeit werden Konturen einer Presbyterialtheologie gezeichnet, die das Kirchenvorstandsamt zwischen Allgemeinem Priestertum, Leitungscharisma und freiwilligem Engagement verortet. [Parish Councils. Dimensions and areas of conflict in late modern leading of congregations] Along the four practical-theological dimensions of church as institution, organization, interaction and staging the study describes areas of conflict for the parish councils. The data evaluation of three representative surveys that are carried out by the Social Science Institute of the EKD illustrates the board members as outstanding group of volunteers in the church. Qualitative analyses of promotion material for parish-elections, the inauguration of the elders and special conferences for them amplify the results. The volume finally outlines a theology of presbyters which locates the church councils in the triangle of universal priesthood, charisma of leadership and voluntary work.
