Sinossi
Multiculturalism is one of the most controversial topics in both the United States and Germany.This interdisciplinary collection of essays by German scholars in American Studies and American scholars in German Studies analyze the "other" from this dual perspective and from their respective disciplines such as literary and cultural studies, political science, anthropology,and history. More particularly they examine multiculturalism in terms of national and ethnic identities, as well as gender and race, and look at the disciplines and institutions that produce and legitimize discourses on subjects such as minority literatures, feminism, and the notion of foreignness itself. What becomes clear is the fact that careful attention must be paid to the particular conditions and different ideological concepts that shape this term, i.e., the "national" historical, political, social, and institutional contexts in which it appears, circulates, and accrues meanings.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiv + 290 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is fresh, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Gentle external handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume provides a comparative analysis of the theory and practice of multiculturalism in Germany and the United States during the 1990s. It brings together scholars from both nations to explore how each country was grappling with issues of immigration, national identity, and minority rights in a post-Cold War context. The essays contrast the American experience, rooted in a history of immigration and civil rights, with the German situation, shaped by the legacy of the Gastarbeiter (guest worker) program and the challenges of reunification. The work examines how the concept of multiculturalism itself is "in transit," being adapted and contested differently within these distinct national debates on citizenship and belonging. -- Contents: Introduction; I.
