{"product_id":"contentious-memories-jost-hermand-9780820452548","title":"Contentious Memories: Looking Back at the Gdr","description":"Who is remembering the German Democratic Republic, and how do they go about it? This volume of  contentious memories  brings together essays and critical responses in a look back at three aspects of GDR studies. It presents an opportunity for self-reflection on German Studies' past and ongoing engagement with the GDR and post-unification transformations. It seeks to evaluate old questions and raises new ones concerning the historical knowledge of GDR culture and our interpretations of it. Finally, it examines blindspots and self-deceptions of the past as well as those forming all too quickly in the present. Characterized by a self-awareness and historical understanding that is often neglected in the current tendency to write of the GDR, this collection marks a milestone in the (re)assessment of GDR studies in North America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jost Hermand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820452548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820452548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jost Hermand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483718627583,"sku":"9780820452548","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7412e2d-2322-4941-b350-40eec83e5fa5.jpg?v=1778040206","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contentious-memories-jost-hermand-9780820452548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
