| Summary: | Since Unification and the end of the Cold War, Berlin has witnessed a series of uncommonly intense social, political and cultural transformations.

Cultural Topographies of the New Berlin presents a fascinating cross-section of life in Germany's largest city, revealing the complex ways in which globalization, ethnicity, economics, memory and national identity inflect how its urban spaces are inhabited and depicted. |
