Overview

No other Western European nation has experienced such a division and reunification of its peoples and lands within a single span of life. Five years after unification, we ask ourselves: what has been accomplished, what challenges remain, what problems have arisen? It is also now fifty years since Germans lived within one set of boundaries. 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 this volume is to explore some of the social, political, economic, ethical, and cultural results of unification, maintaining a wider historical perspective, hence the reference to fifty years as well as five years.

The first volume in a series that will publish contributions to the understanding of issues confronting contemporary Europe. Collected here are 18 articles gathered from a November 1995 conference at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. The papers, both international and interdisciplinary in scope, are structured around four special topics: the role of mass media before and after German reunification; shifts in research grant policies and state support for culture as a result of reunification; the depiction of reunification in literature and film and the effect of reunification on language usage; and the comparison of resistance in the Third Reich with opposition in the final years of the GDR and after reunification.
