      Was wussten die Menschen in Europa in der Zeit zwischen 1500 und 1800 über die »fernen Welten« jenseits des Atlantiks? Und wie suchten sie, sich dieses Wissen zunutze zu machen? In der internationalen Forschung zur atlantischen Geschichte haben in den vergangenen Jahren Wissenswelten und Wirtschaftsbeziehungen auch jenseits der Anrainerstaaten dieses Ozeans an Interesse gewonnen. Der Band stellt ausgewählte Arbeiten zu diesen Themen vor; sie werfen ein neues Licht auf die Entstehung und Vernetzung von Märkten und Menschen in der Zeit nach 1492, die man heute oft als Phase der Globalisierung versteht.

      Historical work on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries suggests that as nation-states were solidifying throughout Western Europe, exiled groups tended to develop rival national identities—an occurrence that had been fairly uncommon in the two preceding centuries. Diaspora Identities draws on eight case studies, ranging from the early modern period through the twentieth century, to explore the interconnectedness of exile, nationalism, and cosmopolitanism as concepts, ideals, attitudes, and strategies among diasporic groups. Die hier versammelten Studien eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf Nationalismus und Kosmopolitismus. Sie machen deutlich, dass schon vor dem »nationalen« 19. Jahrhundert im Kontext von Diaspora, Exil und Migration Identitäten und Verhaltensweisen entstanden, die zugleich kosmopolitisch und nationalistisch waren.

      In June 2005, 17 experts on religious migrations, from the U. S. A., Britain, Ireland, Germany and France, met in Galway, Ireland, to discuss in an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective - both in time and space - the migration of religious refugees: Irish monks, the Sephardim, Anabaptists, Scottish Presbyterians, Huguenots, Quakers, Herrnhuters, the Acadians, Iranian Shiites, Arab Christians and Iraki Jews. Analysing migration policies, migrants' expectations, networks, integration and assimilation processes, this volume's essays will lead to a revised vision of religious migrations in the medieval, early modern and modern periods and could result in a re-evaluation of contemporary migration and integration policies.
