Carol Blackshire-Belay Bücher

Es handelt sich um eine für Sprach- wie auch für Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftler gleichermaßen interessante Untersuchung des Begriffsfeldes „Umgang“ vom frühen 18. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart.

This volume of essays on the African-German experience seeks to establish the position culturally, politically and socially, of African-Germans in the larger context of the historic changes that have taken place in German society.

This is a comprehensive and up-to-date critical examination of cultural diversity in Germanic-speaking societies. It goes beyond ethnic, religious, and gender stereotypes to show minority groups as active participants in German history rather than as passive victims. This collection of critical and theoretical essays seeks to interpret the current philosophical, aesthetic, and literary thinking about diversity in literature and language.The book is divided into four literary analyses of works produced by members of minority populations, linguistic discussions and case studies of minority groups, structures and strategies of discourse and prejudice, and studies of remedies for problems of racism and discrimination. Some of the most significant writers and thinkers in the field have contributed, making this volume of critical concern to scholars and students of German, modern languages, and comparative studies.
