Rosa Lehmann - Böcker

In Poland and elsewhere there has been a noticeable increase of interest in various aspects of the Polish-Jewish past which can be explained, the author argues, in terms of a broader intellectual need to explore the "blank spots" of Poland's national history. This quest begins and ends with Polish anti-Semitism and the Shoah, during which most of Europe's Jews were annihilated on Polish soil, but also focuses on the events of 1946-1968, the years of pogroms, anti-Semitic campaigns, and mass emigration of the Jews from Poland. All these became main issues of public reflection in Poland after a silence for almost forty years and led to the widespread view that Polish-Jewish relations are irredeemably poisoned by anti-Semitism.If this is the case, how is it possible then, the author asks, that Jews still play an important role in the cultural expressions and the consciousness of the Polish people? To find an answer, she explored Polish-Jewish relations in a small Galacian town from the early 19th century to the end of World War II. Detailed analysis of archival materials as well as interviews with Polish inhabitants of this town and Jewish survivors living elsewhere reveal a pattern of Polish-Jewish interdependence that has led to a far more complex picture than is generally assumed.

This open access book focuses on the meanings, agendas, as well as the local and global implications of bioeconomy and bioenergy policies in and across South America, Asia and Europe. To what extent does the bioeconomy affect existing socio-ecological inequalities in rural areas?

Windenergieanlagen sind aus Klimaschutzgründen wünschenswert, doch im südmexikanischen Isthmus von Tehuantepec ist die Produktion von Windenergie äußerst konflikthaft. Rosa Lehmann beschreibt den Kontext des Konflikts, Machtasymmetrien zwischen den Konfliktparteien und umstrittene Entscheidungsprozesse. Diskurse um die Windenergie als klimafreundliche Energieform und Beitrag zur lokalen Entwicklung drängen die Kritik an der ungleichen Verteilung von Kosten und Nutzen und mangelnder Mitbestimmung in den Hintergrund. Die Arbeit zeigt: Die Frage nach einer sozial gerechten Ausgestaltung der globalen Energiewende ist noch nicht beantwortet.
