Description

Migration, in its many forms, has often been found at the center of public and private discourse surrounding German nationalism and identity, significantly influencing how both states construct conceptions of what it means to be "German" at any given place and time. The attempt at constructing an ethnically homogeneous Third Reich was shattered by the movement of refugees, expellees, and soldiers in the aftermath of the Second World War, and the contracting of foreign nationals as　Gastarbeiter　in the Federal Republic and　Vertragsarbeiter　in the German Democratic Republic in the 1960s and 70s diversified the ethnic landscape of both Cold War German states during the latter half of the Cold War. Bethany Hicks shows how the regional migration of East Germans into the western federal states both during and after German unification challenged essential Cold War assumptions concerning the ability to integrate two very different German populations.

More on this Book

The series focuses on migration in historical context. We welcome proposals for monographs, edited volumes, conference proceedings, and work in translation that investigate any aspect of migration on any time period and from any region of the world. We are particularly interested in submissions that explore migration in comparative perspective, investigate the memory of migration, and study migration as a process that unfolds across countries of departure, arrival, and transit. While we welcome submissions from non-historians, we prioritize scholars who frame their work historically. The purpose of this series is to draw attention to the historical roots of current global patterns of migration and debates over its broader ramifications. Advisory Board: Sylvie Aprile, L'Institut des sciences sociales du politique (ISP)/Universit
