The turn of the millennium has stimulated much scholarly reflection
on the historical significance of the twentieth century as a whole.
Explaining the century's dual legacy of progress and prosperity on
one hand, and of world war, genocide, and mass destruction on the
other, has become a key task for academics and policymakers alike.
Not surprisingly, Germany holds a prominent position in the
discussion. What does it mean for a society to be so closely
identified with both inflicting and withstanding enormous
suffering, as well as with promoting and enjoying unprecedented
affluence? What did Germany's experiences of misery and abundance,
fear and security, destruction and reconstruction, trauma and
rehabilitation have to do with one another? How has Germany been
imagined and experienced as a country uniquely stamped by pain and
prosperity? The contributors to this book engage these questions by
reconsidering Germany's recent past according to the themes of pain
and prosperity, focusing on such topics as welfare policy, urban
history, childbirth, medicine, racism, political ideology,
consumerism, and nostalgia.
