The dialogue between East and West is evident in several of the essays included here, which are revised versions of papers on GDR culture and society. The general topic of the symposium - which was interdisciplinary in its approach - was dimensions of change in the GDR.

In keeping with the tenets of socialist internationalism, the political culture of the German Democratic Republic strongly emphasized solidarity with the non-white world: children sent telegrams to Angela Davis in prison, workers made contributions from their wages to relief efforts in Vietnam and Angola, and the deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Ho Chi Minh, and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired public memorials. Despite their prominence, however, scholars have rarely examined such displays in detail. Through a series of illuminating historical investigations, this volume deploys archival research, ethnography, and a variety of other interdisciplinary tools to explore the rhetoric and reality of East German internationalism.
The theme of this symposium was 'The GDR Today and Tomorrow.' Topics included in the eighteen papers comprising this volume are the ambivalence of progress, the situation of minorities, nation-building and national identity, and methods and goals of socialization. Co-published with the Symposium on the German Democratic Republic.
