Overview

The "New Germany" has been aptly described as "unified but not united." In spite of political and economic unification in 1990, the social divisions between east and west Germans are as wide as ever. The contributors to this book explore the cultural and linguistic reasons for this continuing disharmony, drawing on and analyzing a wide range of evidence--from television news, dramas and talk shows, newspapers, novels, and cabaret to oral histories and job interviews.
