About the Book

This is a study of the German Democratic Republic in terms of the identity of its citizens. The book considers what it meant to belong to the East German state, particularly for those who were born and raised in it. It asks where their loyalties lay - whether with a wider, historical Germany, or with the GDR as a country in its own right. The book examines these issues with reference to the former-citizens the joining with the Federal Republic.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Dimensions of the dialectical identity: exit, voice and loyalty - the theoretical parameters; selection by consequences - what did it mean to be GDR-German?; prelude to a revolution - the politics of small steps. Part 2 The deconstruction of East German society: the Stalinist legacy - Stasi and the "wall in one's head"; the niche-society - raising questions about socialist solidarity; the crisis of real-existing socialist economism; environmental decay of the Heimat - lessons from the provinces; D-mark, D-mark ber alles - adjusting to the free market. Part 3 East German subcultures in an age of reconstruction: from SED to PDS - the past that could not be conquered; intellectuals, dissidents and clerics - a shared culture of victims and persecutors; the identity of GDR women - socialist patriarchy and the political culture of inequality; faschos, skinheads and avantis - pop culture and the problems of tolerance among GDR youth; thesis, antithesis, synthesis - toward a new German identity.
