German History from the Margins offers new ways of thinking
about ethnic and religious minorities and other outsiders in modern
German history. Many established paradigms of German history are
challenged by the contributors new and often provocative findings,
including evidence of the striking cosmopolitanism of Germany s
19th-century eastern border communities; German Jewry s
sophisticated appropriation of the discourse of tribe and race; the
unexpected absence of antisemitism in Weimar s campaign against
smut; the Nazi embrace of purportedly "Jewish" sexual behavior; and
post-war West Germany s struggles with ethnic and racial minorities
despite its avowed liberalism. Germany s minorities have always
been active partners in defining what it is to be German, and even
after 1945, despite the legacy of the Nazis murderous
destructiveness, German society continues to be characterized by
ethnic and cultural diversity."
