Modern Germany explores life, society, and history in this
comprehensive thematic encyclopedia, spanning such topics as
geography, pop culture, the media, and gender. Germany and its
capital, Berlin, were the fulcrum of geopolitics in the twentieth
century. After the Second World War, Germany was a divided nation.
Many German citizens were born and educated and continued to work
in eastern Germany (the former German Democratic Republic). This
title in the Understanding Modern Nations series seeks to explain
contemporary life and traditional culture through thematic
encyclopedic entries. Themes in the book cover geography; history;
politics and government; economy; religion and thought; social
classes and ethnicity; gender, marriage, and sexuality; education;
language; etiquette; literature and drama; art and architecture;
music and dance; food; leisure and sports; and media and pop
culture. Within each theme, short topical entries cover a wide
array of key concepts and ideas, from LGBTQ issues in Germany to
linguistic dialects to the ever-famous Oktoberfest. Geared
specifically toward high school and undergraduate German students,
readers interested in history and travel will find this book
accessible and engaging. Provides examples of how the post-war
division of Germany continues to play a role in German society
Discusses German politics as well as the nation's role in the
European Union Contains contemporary, first-person accounts of
