Awakening '89 -- Notes on Culture and Politics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780557450336)

This collection of documents, political speeches as well as academic articles, by the internationally admired theater director, Heinz-Uwe Haus, reflects positions and actions, which he shared with the majority of the people in his country during the fall of the Wall and the re-unification of the German nation. The reader is reminded of the sheer joy of the peaceful revolution in autumn of 1989. The texts reflect how millions of people reclaimed their basic human freedoms, ending not only the post-WWII division of the country, but de-legitimizing the concept of socialist rule.
