可以忍受的书, 流亡海外, compares two groups of German-speaking Mennonites from Russia. One group was composed of voluntary migrants and the other was composed of refugees. The voluntary migrants traveled from Imperial Russia to Canada in 1870, 1927年从加拿大到巴拉圭. The refugees traveled from Soviet Russia to Germany in 1929, and from Germany to Paraguay in 1930. Settling next to each other in Paraguay’s Gran Chaco, the voluntary migrants established the Menno Colony and the refugees established the Fernheim Colony. 尽管这些群体使用相同的语言, 宗教, 和祖先, they refused to associate with each other for nearly two decades. While the Menno Colony remained isolated from the modern world, the Fernheim Colony proselytized to their indigenous neighbors, aided the Paraguayan government during the Chaco War (1932-1935), 得到了北美和德国的援助, and endeared themselves to the Nazi Party in Germany. 流亡海外 contrasts these dramatic case studies to shed light on how migrants and refugees negotiate loyalties to domestic and foreign governments, 援助组织, 同, 以及其他流动人口. 更广泛地说, it shows how mobile populations use (and abandon) national, 宗教, 以及种族认同来帮助他们的运动.

艾彻目前的项目, 《信誉最好的大网投平台》, the Plague Within” is the first cultural study of the 1918 influenza pandemic in Europe. It is also the first study to compare average Europeans’ understandings of healthcare during the pandemic, 他们对疾病成因的看法, 他们认为流感是全球性事件, and the experiences of both 城市和农村 survivors. Accompanied by common strains of bacterial pneumonia, the 1918 flu sickened over a billion people and killed upwards of 100 million individuals worldwide. 值得注意的是, the pandemic occurred amidst Europe’s increasingly urbanized and “rational” social landscape, and in the final months of a global war that had already taken the lives of twenty million people. 这个项目动用了将近1亿人的资金,000名流感幸存者的证词, 来自10个欧洲国家, to understand Europeans’ impressions of healthcare and disease at the beginning of Western medicine’s “golden age” and amidst the aftermath of the First World War. Using quantitative analysis for qualitative interpretation, 它描述了男人和女人的经历, 年轻人和老年人, 富人和穷人, 城市和农村, 在一系列的职业中, from nurses and professors to milkmaids and gravediggers.
