German Culture and Society offers an introduction to German culture and society, and a route-map to further study. Designed specifically with undergraduates in mind, it contains around four hundred short and accessible explanations of the key words, events, figures, and concepts in Germany since 1918. From "Adorno" and the "Goethe Institute" to "unification" and "Wirtschaftswunder," the book gives an interdisciplinary overview of German culture and society, and offers directions for further reading. Covering politics, popular culture, private life, cultural institutions and significant events, the entries are fully cross-referenced and assume no prior knowledge, making this an essential reference for students of German culture in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
