De inhoud van de handboeken wordt vergeleken met The Cambridge COmpanion to the Golden Age om de verschillen tussen de handboeken en academische literatuur bloot te leggen. Onder meer de presentatie van het slavernijverleden, het belang van de krijgsmacht en de omgang met mensen vanuit buiten de Republiek verschilt in de handboeken en de Companion.Show less

The research is based on qualitative interviews with twelve Dutch Somalis, seven of which made the journey to the UK and returned to the Netherlands. The interviews focused on the reasons why the "returnees" chose to return to the Netherlands. The participants cited safety reasons as the principal reason for return, alongside the belief in superior living standards in the Netherlands. The participants also expressed that in spite of returning to the Netherlands they did not feel entirely accepted there as a result of the assimilationist model of integration and racial discrimination. This paradoxical conclusion challenges some of the previous attempts to theorise return migration, which label return as emblematic of either success or failure.Show less

Instead of measuring „integration‟ in terms of cultural differences between migrants and the native population, this study uses a comparative approach to understand the political behaviour of Turkish migrants. A comparison is made between, firstly, the refugees and expellees who settled in the FRG after World War II and, secondly, internal migrants in Turkey. Although the migration period as well as settlement conditions for the refugees and expellees, and the Turkish workers were different, the similar situation of these groups in the West German labour market enables a comparison between them. The comparison between internal and external migrants of Turkey also enables the evolution of the MHP to be better understood. Moreover, this study uses Turkish workers‟ relationship with the MHP as a lens to understand their political behaviour. In addition, the paper investigates the changes in government policy in both Turkey and the FRG, and the impact of these policies on the Turkish population. This work uses as its primary sources issues from a Turkish diasporic journal published in 1979 by Turk Federation, an organization affiliated with the MHP, and government reports produced by the Turkish authorities from 1966-78.Show less

It goes into the more overall image and treatment of cats around 1900, but also more explicitly within the domestic sphere and the ideal of domesticity. However, the final chapter demonstrates how cats could actually be utilized by women to escapte the narrow notion of domesticity. Animal agency and the animal experience are important factors as well.Show less

Using case studies of women migrating from western countries to serve in Spain during the Spanish Civil War as well as studying the more recent migration of western women to join ISIS in Iraq and Syria, this thesis explores how female volunteers fit into existing frameworks of the foreign fighter despite often being unrecognised as such.Show less

Daarnaast is er onderzocht of de motieven van de Nederlandse Machal afwijken van de vrijwilligers waar eerder onderzoek op gebaseerd is. De volgende hoofdvraag staat daarom centraal in dit onderzoek: waarom gingen Nederlandse vrijwilligers vechten in de Arabisch-Israëlische oorlog van 1948 en hoe wijken hun motieven af van de vrijwilligers afkomstig uit andere, met name geallieerde, landen? Door egodocumenten, overheidsverslagen en krantenartikelen te toetsen aan de secundaire literatuur en de typologie theorieën, wordt in deze masterscriptie inzichtelijk gemaakt wat de drijfveren van de Nederlandse Machal waren en hoe deze eventueel verschillen van de bestaande literatuur en theorieën.Show less

De doorreis van deze migranten was voor Europese transitlanden, waaronder Nederland, niet zonder risico: De mogelijkheid bestond dat de migranten ziektes verspreidden, de publieke orde verstoorden of achterbleven en een last werden voor de samenleving. Deze scriptie onderzoekt hoe de controle op transmigranten in Nederland in het Interbellum er uitzag en waarom de controle er zo uitzag. Specifiek is er in dit onderzoek ingegaan op de reactie tegenover de mogelijke verspreiding van ziektes door transmigranten, de terugkerende migranten en de doorreis van Joodse vluchtelingen uit Nazi-Duitsland. Om de invulling van de migratiecontrole te kunnen verklaren is een governance-benadering toegepast: Naast het beleid van de centrale overheid is er gekeken naar de rol van lokale autoriteiten en de scheepvaartmaatschappijen in de controle op transmigranten. Deze scriptie laat bovenal zien dat het Nederlandse transmigratiebeleid in het Interbellum niet-lineair was: De controle werd verstevigd als gevolg van crisissen en werd verminderd als de spanning verdwenen was.Show less

Yet one region in Germany remained largely closed to the refugees and expellees: the French zone of military occupation. In 1945, the French occupying authorities refused entry to the refugees, and though they eventually took in some over the course of their occupation, it was an order of magnitude lower than those absorbed into the American, British and Soviet zones. This thesis investigates the reasons behind this initial French position of refusal and its evolution from the immediate end of hostilities in 1945 to the creation of the West German state in 1949. In doing so, it places the question of the refugees in the broader context of France’s overall war aims and its policy towards post-war Germany and Europe. The same security, economic and demographic concerns that drove France’s Germany policy also shaped its response to the refugee crisis; the issue of the refugees and expellees usefully illustrates the trajectory French policy took over the occupation period.Show less

Deze vraag wordt gesteld in het kader van de "gap hypothesis", een hypothese die stelt dat er een groeiende kloof bestaat tussen de doelen en resultaten van nationaal migratiebeleid in hedendaagse liberale staten. Om meer te zeggen over deze kloof is in dit onderzoek gebruik gemaakt van vreemdelingendossiers van de Vreemdelingendienst met betrekking tot vreemdelingen in Nederland die een gevaar vormden voor de openbare orde, veiligheid, zedelijkheid en gezondheid. Uit de analyse van deze dossiers blijkt dat momenten van crisis, zoals de periode vlak na de Eerste Wereldoorlog, een impuls gaven aan de uitvoering van het migratiebeleid en een grote mate van consensus creëerden onder de actoren die verantwoordelijk waren voor de uitvoering van het beleid, waardoor de kloof tussen migratiebeleid en praktijk tijdelijk kromp. De kloof tussen het migratiebeleid en de praktijk hiervan is dan ook een dynamischer fenomeen dan de gap hypothesis suggereert. Crisismomenten zijn "windows of opportunity" waarbinnen ideeën die door een gebrek aan consensus vastzaten, alsnog gerealiseerd kunnen worden.Show less

The analysis is build on a content analysis as well as a qualitative analysis of the material. This thesis explores genre-specific tropes through a gendered lense. Overall it was found that the sexualisation of female characters has increased notably over time, but they have been portrayed to be tougher simultaneously. Contrary to previous research this thesis maintains that the discussed zombie films effectively criticise stereotypical notions of gender roles through their ironic treatment of masculinity and overall favourable treatment of their female characters, who have a greater chance to thrive and survive if they transgress such roles.Show less
