| Sumario: | Narratives in the Making: Writing the East German Past in the Democratic Present: by Anselma Gallinat, New York, Berghahn Publishers, 2016, 242 pp., 3 illus., bibliog., index 120.00/£85.00 (hardback), ISBN 978-1-78533-798-7 The body of literature that calls itself "the anthropology of democracy" has, I belief, not had the traction it should have given the threats that liberal democracies face worldwide. Gallinat updates and expands previous accounts of East German memory work and develops two powerful strategies to navigate her own way through this complex terrain. |
