Description: Minority Discourses in Germany since 1990 by Ela Gezen, Priscilla Layne, Jonathan Skolnik Opens the question of why ethnic minorities in Germany are often discussed in isolation. Whereas most studies examine Black Germans, Jews in Germany, or Turkish Germans on their own terms vis-à-vis the majority German society, this volume takes on unique and comparative perspectives on an increasingly complex German society. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description While German unification promised a new historical beginning, it also stirred discussions about contemporary Germanys Nazi past and ideas of citizenship and belonging in a changing Europe. Minority Discourses in Germany Since 1990 explores the intersections and divergences between Black German, Turkish German, and German Jewish experiences, with reflections on the evolving academic paradigms with which these are studied. Informed by comparative approaches, the volume investigates social and aesthetic interventions into contemporary German public and political discourse on memory, racism, citizenship, immigration, and history. Author Biography Ela Gezen is Associate Professor of German at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

At the same time, they share a commitment to reading, writing, and thinking across and beyond the borders of white Germanistik…Each contributor is carefully and differently attuned to the need to decolonize German studies from a spectrum of positions, with reference to a growing archive of creative, performative, and political interventions from German-speaking and polylin-gual Europe." • German Studies Review Details ISBN1800734271 Publisher Berghahn Books Series Spektrum: Publications of the German Studies Association Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 1800734271 ISBN-13 9781800734272 Format Hardcover Series Number 23 Imprint Berghahn Books Place of Publication Oxford Country of Publication United Kingdom Publication Date 2022-04-08 AU Release Date 2022-04-08 NZ Release Date 2022-04-08 UK Release Date 2022-04-08 Pages 294 Author Jonathan Skolnik Edited by Jonathan Skolnik DEWEY 305.80094309049 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
