Item "An Everlasting Scar": Civilian Internment on Wartime Kaua'i(Honolulu, Hawaiian Historical Society, 2011) Rosenfeld, AlanItem An ‘Excess of Liberation’?: Terror and the Demonization of Women’s Political Activity in 1970s West Germany(ALTIJA, 2017) Rosenfeld, AlanItem ‘Anarchist Amazons’: The Gendering of Radicalism in 1970s West Germany(Cambridge University Press, 2010) Rosenfeld, AlanThis article examines the intersection between reactions to urban guerrilla violence and anxieties over the women's liberation movement in 1970s West Germany. State officials and the mainstream press focused a disproportionate amount of attention on women's contributions to left-wing violence, claiming that female guerrillas suffered from an 'excess of women's liberation'. However, while commentators juxtaposed domineering women with effeminate men, the actual experiences of women inside groups such as the Red Army Faction often featured expressions of male dominance. Evidence suggests that female guerrillas suffered more from a compulsion to self-sacrifice than excessive emancipation.Item Barbed-Wire Beaches: Martial Law and Civilian Internment in Wartime Hawai‘i(University of Illinois Press, 2011) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Militant Democracy: The Legacy of Germany’s War on Terror in the 1970s(Taylor & Francis, 2014-07-29) Rosenfeld, AlanIn the 1970s the Federal Republic of Germany found itself locked in a battle with leftwing extremism, when groups of self-styled urban guerrillas attempted to press through a radical agenda using methods that included bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations. This essay examines the counterterrorist initiatives of West Germany’s ruling social-liberal coalition as anti-state violence forced officials to reconsider the principles of democracy and state power. With the collapse of the Weimar Republic casting an ominous shadow, political leaders gradually forged a consensus around the concept of “militant democracy.” In practice, this meant a more centralized state, prepared to forcefully defend the lives and property of its citizens against terrorist attacks. Although the country embraced a new image of German militarism in the form of counterterrorist commandos, citizens expressed a growing concern over computerized crime fighting as an intrusive surveillance of their private lives.Item Neither Aliens nor Enemies: The Hearings of “German” and “Italian” Internees in Wartime Hawai‘i(University of Hawaiʻi Press, 2014) Rosenfeld, AlanAlthough officially billed by J. Edgar Hoover as an “Alien Enemy Control” program, an examination of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s wartime internment of civilians in Hawai‘i reveals that the bureau grossly overstepped the authority provided under the Alien Enemies Act. Specifically, the hearing board transcripts of those detained as German and Italian alien enemies demonstrate that wartime authorities in martial law Hawai‘i proceeded emphatically on the side of caution and security, even at the expense of justice. In fact, those apprehended for the purposes of “Alien Enemy Control” and subsequently interned at the Sand Island and Honouliuli detention camps included numerous US citizens—both by naturalization and by birth—and several men who had served in the US Armed Forces. One could also find people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds among the ranks of Hawai‘i’s “German” and “Italian” internees, ranging from civilians of Scandinavian descent to an Irish American woman and a family of Jewish refugees from Nazi-occupied Austria. The stories of this diverse array of internees underscore the importance of defending democratic principles, particularly in moments of crisis.Item P/pacific Propaganda: The Nazi Appropriation of Aloha in Klaus Mehnert’s The XXth Century(Peter Lang Verlag, 2020-11) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of 'Propaganda der Tat: Die RAF und die Medien' by Andreas Elter(H-German, 2010-01) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of Disability in Twentieth-Century German Culture, by Carol Poore(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of Europe since the Seventies, by Jeremy Black(H-German, 2010-06) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of Genteel Women: Empire and Domestic Material Culture, by Dianne Lawrence(Cambridge University Press, 2016-08) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of Hitler at Home by Despina Stratigakos and Stormtrooper Families: Homosexuality and Community in the Early Nazi Movement by Andrew Wackerfuss(University of Hawaiʻi Press, 2017) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of Holocaust Survivors in Postwar Germany, by Margarete Myers Feinstein(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011-02) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of Life Behind Barbed Wire: The World War II Internment Memoirs of a Hawai'i Issei(University of Illinois Press, 2009-10) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of Nazis and the Cinema, by Susan Tegel(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of Pineapple Culture: A History of the Tropical and Temperate Zones(University of Illinois Press, 2010) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Review of The Routledge History of Genocide(University of Illinois Press, 2016) Rosenfeld, AlanItem Thwarting Ambitions: The Rhetoric of Vocational Education in Depression-Era Hawai‘i(UH Press, 2020) Rosenfeld, Alan
