A Berlin Republic: Writings on Germany

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (30740 ratings)

Description:Bringing together writings on united Germany, this volume addresses the consequences of German history, the challenges and perils of the post-Wall era, and Germany's place in contemporary Europe. The author criticizes recent efforts by historical and political commentators to normalize and, in part, to understate the horrors of modern German history. He argues that 1945 - not 1989 - was the crucial turning point in German history, since it was then that West Germany decisively repudiated certain aspects of its cultural and political past (nationalism and antisemitism in particular) and turned towards Western traditions of democracy: free and open discussion, and respect for the civil rights of all individuals. The author also argues for heightened emphasis on trans-European and global democratic institutions which he suggests are far better suited to meet the challenges (and dangers) of the 21st century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
