For East Germans this transformation has been a challenging process. Former values, orientations, and standards have been subject to severe scrutiny as reunification has affected virtually every area of life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStaab analyzes the development from the divided to the unified Germany and asks to what extent East Germans have adopted a national identity in line with that of the West Germans. He examines such identity markers as attitudes toward territory, economics, ethnicity, mass culture, and civic-political activity. Identifying a significant range of commonalities, he also finds striking features of mutually exclusive areas working to prevent a shared national identity. Scholars and other researchers dealing with German politics and contemporary history, political sociology, and nationalism will be interested in this book.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eANDREAS STAAB is Academic Development Officer, European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science.
