Description:

Scholars from the US, Europe, and Australia analyze the impact of reunification on the writing of German history. The perspectives include immigration and nationhood before and after, a new political generation, continuities and discontinuities in modern German history, and the work of the Commission of Inquiry in rewriting the history of the Democratic Republic. The 13 essays combine contributions to a September 1993 conference in Perth, Australia with invited papers to round out the coverage. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95.
