Remembering and Rethinking the GDR: Multiple Perspectives and Plural Authenticities (Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies)

Exploring the ways in which the GDR has been remembered since its demise in 1989/90, this volume asks how memory of the former state continues to shape contemporary Germany. Its contributors offer multiple perspectives on the GDR and offer new insights into the complex relationship between past and present.
