• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This collection demonstrates the persistence of the initial anxieties about a united Germany and its rapid absorption of the German Democratic Republic, and also suggests a potential optimism that, despite much contemporary domestic disenchantment, the new Germany continues to thrive as a European democracy endeavouring to confront its past.
