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.
