Unprecedented in scope and critical perspective, American and the
Germans presents an analysis of the history of the Germans in
America and of the turbulent relations between Germany and the
United States. The two volumes bring together research in such
diverse fields as ethnic studies, political science, linguistics,
and literature, as well as American and German History.Contributors
are leading American and German scholars, such as Kathleen Neils
Conzen, Joshua A. Fishman, Peter Gay, Harold Jantz, Gunter
Moltmann, Steven Muller, Theo Sommer, Fritz Stern, Herbert A.
Strauss, Gerhard L. Weinberg, and Don Yoder.These scholars assess
the ethnicity and acculturation of German-Americans from the
seventeenth century to the twentieth; the state of German language
and culture in the United States; World War I as a turning point in
relations between German and America; the political, economic, and
cultural relations before and after World War II; and the
midcentury state of affairs between the two countries. Special
chapters are devoted to the Pennsylvania Germans, Jewish-German
immigration after 1933, Americanism in Germany, and a critical
appraisal of current research.American and the Germans presents a
fascinating introduction to the subject as well as new perspectives
for a more critical and comprehensive study of its many facets. It
can be used as a reader in the fields of German studies, American
studies, political science, European and German history, American
history, ethnic studies, and German and American literature.
Although each of the 49 contributions reflects the state of current
scholarship, they are formulated with the uninitiated reader in
mind.
