Summary |
"After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the political unification of East and West Germany, the joy over unity quickly gave way to a profound sense of alienation between easterners and westerners. It was said that the Berlin Wall was simply replaced by the walls in the minds of people. In Divided in Unity, Andreas Glaeser examines why east and west Germans continue to feel deeply divided and develops an analytical theory of identity formation, which offers a middle ground between modernist theories of a unitary self and postmodernist theories of a fragmented self."--BOOK JACKET |
