two decades of research on global Germany and its legacies

This collection analyzes scholarship on global Germany since 1998, assessing its impact on German historiography and diaspora studies. It reveals that Germany's colonial presence overseas forged links to landscapes, traditions, and communities beyond Europe that continue to modify the cultural boundaries of Germanness into the present day.--, Provided by publisher
