The Persianate World
The Frontiers of a Eurasian Lingua Franca

Een geschiedenis van de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 1923-2023
2024 || Hardcover || Jan Brabers || Boom
De Radboud Universiteit vierde in 2023 haar honderdjarig bestaan. In 1923 opende zij in het centrum van Nijmegen haar deuren onder de naam Roomsch Katholieke Universiteit. De stichting van de universiteit gold als een uniek en ambitieus project met als hoofddoel het stimuleren van katholieke jongeren tot het volgen van een academische studie. Bovendien wilden de stichters aantonen dat katholieken, naar wie doorgaans geringschattend werd gekeken, serieuze wetenschapsbeoefenaars konden zijn. Ho...

Filantropie
Hoe maatschappelijke betrokkenheid ons helpt te overleven
2021 || Paperback || Theo Schuyt || Boom || met inkijkexemplaar
In Filantropie rekent Theo Schuyt op overtuigende wijze af met de dominante beeldvorming van filantropie als een exclusief speeltje van de rijken. Hij laat zien dat filantropie van álle mensen is en in álle samenlevingen voorkomt, ook al zijn de uitingen ervan cultureel bepaald en kunnen ze onderling verschillen. Sterker nog: filantropie is volgens Schuyt een universeel sociaal arrangement dat ons – letterlijk – helpt om te overleven.

The Dutch Approach
Fifty years of transgender health care at the VU Amsterdam gender clinic
2021 || Paperback || Alex Bakker || Boom
‘God has given us the ability to repair a congenital heart defect: why not,
then, when body and mind do not match?’
‘Whenever a TV program had paid attention to transsexualism, my
phone would not stop ringing the next day.’
In the early seventies, when hardly a doctor or hospital in the world was willing to offer medical care to transgender people, a few pioneers in the VU hospital in Amsterdam started a gender clinic. It evolved from a weekly consultation hour for people being treate...

Ongelijk burgerschap
De Grondwet van Thorbecke en de koloniën
2023 || Paperback || Karwan Fatah-Black e.a. || Boom
De Grondwet van Thorbecke legde de basis voor ongelijkheid waarvan de gevolgen tot op de dag van vandaag voelbaar zijn. Er waren grote verschillen tussen wie burgers waren in Nederland en wie burgers waren in de koloniën. Inwoners van het Nederlandse Koninkrijk kregen en krijgen niet overal dezelfde rechten, plichten en behandeling. Deze verschillen vormen een belangrijk onderdeel van de discussie over postkoloniaal burgerschap in Nederland.
