Both provide an important lens to re-examine the simultaneous heralding of &#8220;welcome culture&#8221;, a sharp rise in arson attacks on asylum centers and the current legislative roll-back of refugee rights in Germany. In bringing these perspectives together the text offers a corrective of both the current image of Germany as a welcoming champion of refugee rights and the problematic notion of refugees as objects of German policies and civil society &#8220;help&#8221; rather than subjects with a long history of resistance in Germany.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sicherheitspolitik-blog.de\/2015\/11\/09\/beyond-refugeeswelcome-the-spectre-of-racist-violence-and-lessons-from-refugee-resistance-in-germany\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This text by Joshua Kwesi Aikins and Daniel Bendix reframes the current debate about refugees in Germany by contrasting Germany&#8217;s recent history of racist violence and limitations of asylum laws with the resistance and agency of refugee movements across Germany.
