"When the Berlin Wall opened unexpectedly on November 9, 1989, it
marked a rupture of global significance. For Germany's national
history the event has become, next to the defeat of 1945, the most
significant date in collective memory. For Cold War Europe the
Berlin Wall represented a symbol of border crisis and of difference
and division. This interdisciplinary volume addresses multiple
consequences of the fall of the Wall: looking back at the physical
barrier, its demise, and how it has been mediated in film and
television; detailing the processes of restoring and revitalizing
the city and the country that had been torn asunder; recognizing
the new challenges of integrating socially and politically old and
new minorities; and identifying how a new European identity may
emerge "after the Wall." The anthology is targeted at scholars and
advanced students in history, German studies, sociology, art
history, and related fields"--
