Carl Brinitzer, 1907–1974
(2017)
Der aus deutsch-jüdischer Familie stammende Jurist Carl Brinitzer lebte ab 1933 im Exil, zunächst in Italien, ab 1936 in London. Dort erlernte er als Mitarbeiter der BBC u. a. das Handwerk des Übersetzens. Nach Kriegsende blieb er in England als freischaffender Journalist für deutsche Blätter, übersetzte auch mehrere Bücher, darunter zwei Biografien und vier Kriminalromane.
Die Goethe-Universität ernannte 1959 den Frankfurter NS-Schul- und Kulturdezernenten Rudolf Keller sowie den NS-Stadtkämmerer Friedrich Lehmann zu Ehrenbürgern. Vor allem: sie erklärte beide feierlich zu NS-Gegnern. In welche NS-Untaten aber waren beide involviert und worüber waren sie informiert? Das Ergebnis ist die Historiographie: „Schuld und Ehrung. Die Kommunalpolitiker Rudolf Keller und Friedrich Lehmann zwischen 1933 und 1960 - ein Beitrag zur NS-Geschichte in Frankfurt am Main“. Es wird vielfältig und en détail dargelegt, wie beide an NS-Verbrechen und Vergehen beteiligt waren; ihre Rolle im „Dritten Reich“ wird nachgezeichnet. Die Untersuchung fügt sich in aktuelle Forschungen zum erweiterten Täterkreis und zu intellektuellen Unterstützern ein. Die Studie wendet sich an das lokale wie das überregionale Fachpublikum und an die Frankfurter Stadtgesellschaft.
Walking, Falling
(2017)
Walking, Falling is Kelwyn Soles seventh collection of poetry. It extends and deepens themes that emerged in his earlier books: love and human relationships; the exposing of false and clichéd perspectives in our socio-political life; our relationship as South Africans to land and landscape. Rustum Kozain has written about his work: Whether the theme is the end of a relationship or the murder of immigrants, there is the calm look of analysis, a voice, like a conscience, that threatens to disturb the readers complacency, but a voice simultaneously gentle with empathy and sincerity.
Radical land reform programmes generate changes in agrarian structures and capital accumulation trajectories in the countryside. This book examines how capital accumulation is being reshaped by changing financing and marketing of agricultural commodities and presents an emerging Quadi-PMMR-model agrarian structure composed of the poor, middle, middle-to-rich peasants and some rich capitalists with a growing middle scale farmer base constituting two thirds of the rural population in Zimbabwe. This evidence based assessment, 15 years after the FTLRP, sheds light on policy outcomes and impacts on communities, revealing the changing production, marketing, capital accumulation and class formation tendencies across Zimbabwe's settlement models and agro-ecological settings. The book fuses the reliance on agrarian political economy lenses and factor component analysis to reveal the dynamics of agrarian change and to explore the dialectic between production and circulation and between the centre and periphery in exceptional fashion that expands our understanding of Zimbabwe's agrarian transition.
Navigate
(2017)
In her second volume of poetry, Karin Schimke explores the idea of home, contemplating notions of belonging and un-belonging and the various places and ways in which one is at home. With her characteristic lyricism, Schimke questions the poets right or duty to speak, while delivering a meditation on love in all its cruel, gleaming facets, as she traces her own psychic constellations back into the blistering orbit of her father. Drawing from the blood and milk of memory, in symphonic shifts of language, her poems are as forgiving as they are furious, summoning both the elemental and the numinous in a masterful painting of the relationship between people and the natural world. Traversing the haunted landscapes of the past and present, the political and the personal, Navigate is a psalm, startling in its honesty, unforgettable in its beauty.
