This fascinating ethnography looks at two very different types of local institutions in one eastern German state that take divergent approaches to those legacies: while publicly funded organizations reliably cast the GDR as a dictatorship, a main regional newspaper offers a more ambivalent perspective colored by the experiences and concerns of its readers. As author Anselma Gallinat shows, such memory work?initially undertaken after fundamental regime change?inevitably shapes citizenship and democracy in the present. 606 $aAnthropology and history$zGermany 606 $aCollective memory$zGermany 607 $aGermany (East)$xHistoriography$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAnthropology and history 615 0$aCollective memory 676 $a943/.1087 686 $aNB 5550$2rvk 700 $aGallinat$b Anselma$01513358 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792731303321 996 $aNarratives in the making$93747801 997 $aUNINA
