Description: The German Student Movement and the Literary ImaginationTransnational Memories of Protest and Dissent Author(s): Susanne Rinner Format: Hardback Publisher: Berghahn Books, United Kingdom Imprint: Berghahn Books ISBN-13: 9780857457547, 978-0857457547 Synopsis 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.
