Reviews for Envisioning Social Justice in Contemporary German Culture (Studies in German Literature, Linguistics and Culture)
[N]eatly edited and deftly introduced . . . . [A]n innovative contribution to contemporary German Studies which invites emulation from others. It is not all about literature any more, that is for sure. And there is a sense of ethics at the heart of the state and society at large which is certainly worth studying.
