More than a decade after unification, Germany remains deeply
divided. Following East and West German police officers on their
patrols through the newly-united city of Berlin and observing how
they make sense of one another in a fast-changing environment,
Andreas Glaeser explains how East-West boundaries have been
maintained by the interactions of institutions, practices, and
cultural forms-including diverging patterns of understanding rooted
in vastly different social systems, readily revived Cold War
images, the continuing search for an adequate response to Germany's
Nazi past, and the politics and organization of unification, which
impose highly asymmetrical burdens on east and west. Glaeser also
leverages his ethnography to develop an innovative approach to
studying identity formation processes. Central to his theory is an
emphasis on the exchange of identifications and the particular ways
in which they are deployed and recognized in interpretations,
narratives, and performances as parts of face-to-face encounters,
political discourses, and organizational practices.
