Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of German Politics and Society has been published by Berghahn Journals.
Against the backdrop of Freie Wahler success in Bavaria, the first article explores their expansion to the state level but not their national aspirations. Most studies emphasize opportunity structures that work in favor of new political actors, however this article highlights their dialectical nature. The second article uses the concept of intersectionality to examine the experiences of politicians with migrant backgrounds in Germany. The final article focuses on how The Cold Heart and Mill Mountain contributed to the rearticulation of the emerging Heimat discourse in the early German Democratic Republic, with a particular focus on gender. This issue concludes with a forum, books reviews, and a tribute to Alfred Diamant.
