Comparison of the attitudes towards migration in German, British, American, Soviet and South African archaeological publications. The article suggests that recent attitudes in the interpretation of archaeological evidence for or against migration strongly depend on the past historical experiences of the respective countries, and on respective government policies concerning immigration and nationalisation.

The defense of gay rights and other liberal values by some right-wing populists is often perceived as an opportunistic strategy to justify anti-Muslim policies. But this explanation for co-optation of liberal values by parties that are considered to be in conflict with liberalism circumvents a proper analysis of the phenomenon. I will therefore investigate this ...
