Description
Focusing on five journals: "Aufbau"; "Ost und West"; "Der Monat"; "Der Ruf"; and "Frankfurter Hefte", this work reveals the scope and nature of opinion in Germany during occupation rule and before formal division. The issues discussed include: collective guilt; denazification; Europe; and cultural and political representation. Some areas of enquiry, notably "Third Way" politics and the exploration of guilt and national history, were subsequently undervalued in the dominant historical narratives of the Cold War. With their range of contributors and and concerns, these journals highlight the course of cultural politics in East and West, and shed light on the extent of Cold War intrusion on the post-war recovery of German thought and discourse.
