Henkes investigates various responsibilities and loyalties towards family and nation, as well as other major ethical obligations towards society and humanity when historical subjects have to deal with a repressive political regime. In the first section we follow three pre-war German immigrants in the Netherlands during the era of National Socialism. The second section explores the positions of three Dutch post-war emigrants who left for South Africa. The narratives of these transnational agents and their relatives provide a lens through which changing constructions of national identities, and the personal acceptance or rejection of a nationalist policy on racial grounds, can be observed in everyday practice.Egodocuments and history series ;Volume 11.Race discriminationNetherlandsHistory20th centuryRace discriminationHistory305.8009492Henkes Barbara1498928MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793918303321Negotiating racial politics in the family3724671UNINA
