Abstract

The volume at hand provides an overview of the cultural history of the Federal Republic of Germany that is exceedingly rich in perspectives and extensively contextualized. The authors devote themselves to social and political fields of study equally as well as to historical questions related to media and consumerism or body and gender. They focus their interest on the time period between the end of the 1950s and the middle of the 1980s, while consistently taking the most recent research into account. That they sometimes must abbreviate their findings does not damage the positive opinion of this pioneering study.
