Dirk Verheyen looks at monuments, museums, and memorial sites as illustrations of Berlin's struggle to craft an effective shared identity that ties together its western and eastern halves. Verheyen's comprehensive and critical analysis is considered against the broader background of Germany's efforts at coming to grips with its dual twentieth-century totalitarian past. This book demonstrates that important elements of east-west contrast linger and complicate the city's efforts at crafting a more definitively future-oriented united identity. \u003ci\u003eUnited City, Divided Memories?\u003c\/i\u003e will stimulate debate among German studies scholars, as well as among those interested in German history and cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dirk Verheyen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0739118404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780739118405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Dirk Verheyen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587646140671,"sku":"9780739118405","price":60.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/united-city-divided-memories-dirk-verheyen-9780739118405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
