Da Flüchtlingsströme häufig als vorübergehendes Problem angesehen werden, staatliche Schutzfunktionen auf Flüchtlinge anderer Nationalitäten keine Anwendung finden, und die UNO-Flüchtlingsorganisation (UNHCR) weitgehend machtlos ist, ist die Menschenrechtslage für Flüchtlinge miserabel. (DÜI-Spe)

On April 16, 2007, a Virginia Tech student killed 32 of his classmates and professors and then turned the gun on himself. The media focused their power and our attention on the campus, the students and faculty of Virginia Tech, and the gunman and his victims. But we have yet to understand fully what happened in Blacksburg. There is a Gunman on Campus brings our thoughts back to the shocking campus shootings and the public reactions to the event, shining needed light on what occurred at the university, how American society reacted, and how it all fits into contemporary culture

""All history," writes Maximillian Alvarez in his contribution, "is the history of empire--a bid for control of that greatest expanse of territory, the past." Evil Empire confronts these histories head-on, exploring the motivations, consequences, and surprising resiliency of empire and its narratives. Contributors grapple with the economic, technological, racial, and rhetorical elements of U.S. power and show how the effects are far-reaching and, in many ways, self-defeating. Drawing on a range of disciplines--from political science to science fiction--our authors approach the theme with imagination and urgency, animated by the desire to strengthen the fight for a better future."--Page 4 of cover
