Dear colleagues, You are warmly invited to a reading (in German and English) and a wine reception with Esther Dischereit in Cambridge, which will take place at 8pm on 27 June 2105, Magdalene College, Cripps Court, Meeting Room 3. One of Germany’s most exciting contemporary authors, Esther Dischereit is also a critical voice in current debates on racism and political violence in the Federal Republic. Her book Blumen für Otello. Über die Verbrechen von Jena (translated by Iain Galbraith and Tom Cheesman) offers a powerful and moving account of right-wing violence in reunified Germany, which is based on the experiences of its victims and their families. For more details about the book, see: http://www.secession-verlag.com/content/blumenfuerotello This event is kindly sponsored by the Department of German and Dutch at Cambridge and the Schröder Fund. Please contact Dr Katharina Karcher should you have any questions ([log in to unmask]). best wishes, Katharina -- Dr Katharina Karcher Schröder Research Associate Department of German and Dutch University of Cambridge
