Germany Reunified

A Five- and Fifty-Year Retrospective. Edited by Peter M. Daly, Hans Walter Frischkopf, Trudis Goldsmith-Reber, and Horst Richter. This volume documents an eponymous interdisciplinary conference held November 16-19, 1995 at McGill University in Montreal, organized by the Department of German Studies. Five years after German reunification, it set out to tackle several questions: What has been accomplished, what challenges remain, what problems have arisen? Considering that also fifty years had passed since Germans lived within one set of boundaries, a second set of questions arose: To what extent have Germans come to terms with their past, both Nazi and communist? How do Europeans and North Americans view the newly unified Germany? The purpose of the 18 contributions is to explore some of the social, political, economic, ethical, and cultural results of unification, maintaining a wider historical perspective. Literature, mass media, language and relations with neighboring nations are some of the specific issues dealt with.
