Through a close reading of novels by Ulrike Kolb, Irmtraud Morgner,
Emine Sevgi OEzdamar, Bernhard Schlink, Peter Schneider, and Uwe
Timm, this book traces the cultural memory of the 1960s student
movement in German fiction, revealing layers of remembering and
forgetting that go beyond conventional boundaries of time and
space. These novels engage this contestation by constructing a
palimpsest of memories that reshape readers' understanding of the
1960s with respect to the end of the Cold War, the legacy of the
Third Reich, and the Holocaust. Topographically, these novels
refute assertions that East Germans were isolated from the
political upheaval that took place in the late 1960s and 1970s.
Through their aesthetic appropriations and subversions, these
multicultural contributions challenge conventional understandings
of German identity and at the same time lay down claims of
belonging within a German society that is more openly diverse than
ever before.
