Examines eastern Germans' diversity of experiences of 1989/90 and its continuing effects as reflected in biographical, creative, and collective representations, nstrating the ongoing impact of die Wende in contemporary Germany.
As the fall of the Berlin Wall and the official unification of Germany recede into the past, their impact on questions of identity and belonging in Germany endures. For many eastern Germans, the process of change and adaptation that began in 1989/90-in German die Wende, the turning point or transition-is not yet over; indeed, recent public discourse and events in Germany have caused controversy by questioning established narratives of unification. Rather than viewing the Wende as a phenomenon of 1989/90 and its immediate aftermath, this volume presents it as a complex and ongoing process.
