Germany's History Wars

Colonial Globalisation shaped the modern world - intentionally but also by the multi-facetted reactions to it by colonized peoples, which range from resistance to creative adaption and accommodation. Any modern history of the globalised world therefore needs to engage with its colonial origins. This book series publishes original peer-reviewed contributions on all aspects of colonial and postcolonial history from any region and period.

Like no other country's Germany's identity is shaped by its history or rather by the critical engagement with this history. The book traces the most important public debates on history since the new millennium thereby adding a mosaic of topics and perspectives to the memorial landscape of the Berlin Republic.

The book is divided into five parts, "German Empire and the question of continuity", "National Socialism and World War II", "The Holocaust and Multidirectional Memory", "GDR/BRD/Unification" to "The Berlin Republic. Marginalization and new Master Narratives", and addresses them from different biographical backgrounds, thereby creating a mosaic of topics and perspectives.
