Description and Table of Contents
Description
In three years, our vocabulary has changed. Then we used words like 'a divided Germany'. There was a 'Berlin Wall', a 'Cold War'. There were phrases: 'Evil Empire', 'the Communist threat'. There was always 'political asylum': 'dissidents' were welcomed.
But what are our key words now?
the New Germany
the Extreme Right
neo-Nazi
Asylum seeker
Hostel
Auslander Raus! Foreigners out!
Rostock. Who, even nine months ago, had heard of Rostock?
Moelln, and the three murdered Turks, including the ten-year-old Yeliz Arslan.
What is it about the German people that produces a nation so - what? So ugly. So dangerous. So predictable.
In the most comprehensive investigation of its kind, this special issue of Granta sets out to find the uncomfortable answer to this simple question: what is the new Germany?
