The legacy of the 20th-c. German and Austrian political/cultural
presence in East Central Europe, as shown in recent literature.
This study focuses on the complex legacy of the German and Austrian
political and cultural presence in East Central Europe in the
twentieth century. It contributes to the discussion of "German"
identity in eastern Europe, and hasimportant implications for
German, Austrian, and East European studies. It addresses the
specific situations of the former Habsburg regions of Bukovina (the
Ukraine/Romania), Moravia (the Czech Republic), and Banat (Romania)
as illustrated in contemporary literature by German-speaking
authors, such as Herta Müller, Erica Pedretti, Gregor von Rezzori,
and Edgar Hilsenrath. The works of these authors constitute
contrastive historiographic narratives of the multiethnic regions
of East-Central Europe under a series of oppressive regimes: first
Austrian imperialism, and then German and Romanian fascism in
Bukovina; National Socialism in Moravia, and Communism in Romania.
Valentina Glajar investigates these narratives as representations
of multicultural East Central Europe in German-language literature
that show the political and ethnic tensions between Germans and
local peoples that marked these regions throughout the 20th
century, often with tragic consequences. The study thus expands and
diversifies the understanding of German literature and challenges
the concept of a homogeneous German identity reaching far beyond
the borders of theGerman-speaking countries. Valentina Glajar is
assistant professor of German at Southwest Texas State University.
