Synopsis

In Germany today, "minoritized" authors - many of them women, nonbinary, or other marginalized genders - are staging literary interventions that foreground the radical diversity of German identities. They are re-conceiving "Germanness" by centering previously marginalized perspectives and challenging fixed frames of nationality, ethnicity, language, gender, and sexuality. Thus they are opening new ways of conceiving of self and other, individual and collective, and envisioning a community that does justice to the range of lived experiences in Germany. This innovative volume combines cutting-edge scholarly essays on and original interviews with notable authors in this vein, illustrating the plurality, agency, and increasing resonance of these literary figures and their works.
