Travels in the Other Germany
Johansen, Jahn Otto: Reisebrev fra det andre TysklandA well-written account of the culture, atmosphere and political and social conditions currently prevailing in the former DDR. The author has talked to 'average' Germans and interviewed politicians, industrialists, clergymen and intellectuals. He shows how unemployment, xenophobia, racism and neo-Nazism have left their imprint on some sections of the population, but balances this with a look at the many positive forces struggling to effect an improvement.
