Dr. Pricilla Layne is the co-editor of the book Rebellion and Revolution: Defiance in German Language, History, and Art (2010). In this talk, she will take a look back at German reunification and consider its effects on minorities. How did minoritarian Germans feel excluded from the celebrations? How were minorities used to incite public fears? How did minoritarian artists respond to the physical and epistemic violence? And how has the notion of a German identity become more inclusive twenty-five years later?
