Despite the three decades that have passed since the fall of the
Berlin Wall, the historical narrative of East Germany is hardly
fixed in public memory, as German society continues to grapple with
the legacies of the Cold War. This fascinating ethnography looks at
two very different types of local institutions in one eastern
German state that take divergent approaches to those legacies:
while publicly funded organizations reliably cast the GDR as a
dictatorship, a main regional newspaper offers a more ambivalent
perspective colored by the experiences and concerns of its readers.
As author Anselma Gallinat shows, such memory work-initially
undertaken after fundamental regime change-inevitably shapes
citizenship and democracy in the present.
