This volume revisits legal scholar Cheryl I. Harris' influential concept of ‘whiteness as property,’ which shows how racial identity has been transformed into a legally protected property interest throughout U.S. history. Building on Harris' groundbreaking analysis, this book traces how this logic has shaped legal orders, property relations, and everyday life from colonial origins to the present day. Through eight compelling case studies, contributors reveal how whiteness operates within legal and political institutions, continually securing advantages for some while systematically denying them to others. The volume explores the racialization and criminalization of poverty, exploitation of Black labour, challenges to affirmative action, and dispossession of non-white communities through land and housing policies.Timely and incisive, this collection illuminates how the past lives on in the present, offering a powerful lens for understanding widening inequalities, the current racial backlash, and the high stakes struggles that are redefining American democracy today. It is essential reading for scholars and students of American studies, critical race theory, legal history, and sociology. The chapters in this book were previously published as a special issue in Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Gemeinsame, aus mitgliedstaatlichen und unionalen Kräften zusammengesetzte Teams mit operativen Befugnissen kommen in unterschiedlichen Bereichen des Unionsrechts zum Einsatz. Sie stellen eine vergleichsweise junge Handlungsform im Europäischen Verwaltungsverbund dar. Ins Bewusstsein der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung gerückt sind sie etwa durch Ermittlungserfolge von mitgliedstaatlichen Behörden, Eurojust und Europol im Zusammenhang mit EncroChat. Auch in der Berichterstattung über mögliche Menschenrechtsverletzungen bei Einsätzen im Mittelmeer unter Beteiligung der Grenzschutzagentur Frontex werden sie sichtbar. Felix Krämer untersucht ihre konkrete praktische und rechtsstaatliche Relevanz sowie ihre generelle Bedeutung als Figur der operativen Verwaltungskooperation an der Schnittstelle von unionaler und mitgliedstaatlicher Kompetenz. Systematisch setzt er sich dazu mit den primär- und sekundärrechtlichen Voraussetzungen und Grenzen ihres Einsatzes auseinander.

Making van Gogh focuses on the œuvre of Vincent van Gogh in the context of its reception. The publication examines the particular role which German gallerists, collectors, critics and museums played in the story of his success. At the same time it sheds light on the importance of van Gogh as a role model for the avant-garde generation of artists.“Van Gogh is dead, but the van Gogh-chaps are alive! And how alive they are! It is van Goghing everywhere”, was how Ferdinand Avenarius described it in 1910 in the magazine Der Kunstwart. Vincent van Gogh’s paintings exerted a particular fascination on young artists in Germany at the beginning of the twentieth century. Barely fifteen years after his death the Dutch artist was seen as one of the most important forerunners of modern painting. A selection of key works from all van Gogh’s creative phases are juxtaposed with works by Max Beckmann, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and others.

The invitation to create his own show Untold Stories at Kunstpalast Düsseldorf Kunstpalast served Lindbergh as a blank canvas for the his unrestrained vision and creativity. Given artistic freedom, he curated an uncompromising collection that sheds an unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre. This artist's book offers an extensive, firsthand look at the highly personal collection. When it came to printing his photos, Lindbergh chose a special uncoated paper – a thin sheet with a soft, open surface – as a deliberate aesthetic statement.Renowned the world over, Lindbergh’s images have left an indelible mark on contemporary culture and photo history. Here, the photographer experiments with his own oeuvre and narrates new stories while staying true to his lexicon. In both emblematic and never-before-seen images, he challenges his own icons and presents intimate moments shared with personalities who had been close to him for years, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Robin Wright, Jessica Chastain, Jeanne Moreau, Naomi Campbell, Charlotte Rampling and many more.This XL volume presents more than 150 photographs—many of them unpublished or short-lived, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, or The Wall Street Journal. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and Kunstpalast director Felix Krämer, as well as an homage by close friend Wim Wenders, offer fresh insights into the making of the collection. The result is an intimate personal statement by Lindbergh about his work.
