Cobbs (German, Wayne State U.) takes on the complex multicultural society evolving in modern Germany. The influx of workers from various parts of the world, already a hot topic, became explosive under unification. German identity has been buffeted by new generations of homegrown citizens whose immediate forebears came from other countries or chose to replenish the decimated Jewish community. Cobbs explains how this situation has lead to new means of ascertaining political and social identity, how the immigrants have created a literature that explains themselves to themselves and comments on social issues, how the quest for self and the loss of self work together within the prose of Schami, how far integration and assimilation have gone (all the way to satire, according to the works of Dikmen) and what role the old concept of asylum plays in new films and novels.
