> MULTICULTURALISM IN TRANSIT
> A German-American Exchange
>
> Edited by Klaus J Milich and Jeffrey M Peck
>
> Multiculturalism is one of the most controversial topics in both the
United
> States and Germany. This interdisciplinary collection of essays by
German
> scholars in American Studies and American scholars in German Studies
analyse
> the "other" from this dual perspective and from their respective
disciplines
> such as literary and cultural studies, political science, anthropology,
and
> history. More particularly they examine multiculturalism in terms of
national
> and ethnic identities, as well as gender and race, and look at the
disciplines
> and institutions that produce and legitimize discourses on subjects such
as
> minority literatures, feminism, and the notion of foreignness itself.
What
> becomes clear is the fact that careful attention must be paid to the
> particular conditions and different ideological concepts that shape this
term,
> i.e., the "national" historical, political, social, and institutional
contexts
> in which it appears, circulates, and accrues meanings.
