Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For over three hundred years, the Indian peoples of North America have attracted the interest of diverse segments of German society -- missionaries, writers, playwrights, anthropologists, filmmakers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts, and even royalty. Today, German scholars continue to be drawn to Indians, as is the German public: tour groups from Germany frequent Plains reservations in the summer, and so-called Indianerclubs, where participants dress up in 'authentic' Indian costume, are common. In this fascinating volume, scholars and writers illuminate the longstanding connection between Germans and Indians.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This anthology features a diverse and compelling array of writings from prominent Jewish authors in Germany today. The writers included here -- Katja Behrens, Maxim Biller, Esther Dischereit, and Barbara Honigmann -- did not experience the Holocaust firsthand, though their works continually explore the meaning of it as it is remembered and forgotten in contemporary Germany. From different perspectives these authors offer incisive reflections on German-Jewish relations today. They wrestle in particular with the strangeness of living in a country where unencumbered relationships between Germans and Jews are rare. Also surfacing in their writings are the many foundations and challenges to modern Jewish identity in Germany, including the vicissitudes of gender roles, and the experience of emigration, intergenerational conflict, and sexuality.
