Diversity and Decolonization in German Studies
Description
Reviews / Votes
'As Criser and Malakaj convincingly argue, in spite of frequent critical assessments of "the state of German Studies" over the last three decades, very little seems to change. This volume, on the other hand, has the potential to transform the field. Its contributors, by bringing discourses of diversity and decolonization into the center of German Studies, offer radically new ways to think about our curricula, our interactions with students, and our scholarly work.'- Jennifer Redmann , Professor of German, Franklin & Marshall College, USA
