Focusing on generational change, this book explores the diverse social identities within the German Democratic Republic, contrasting them with the official narratives promoted by the authoritarian regime. By examining five societal subgroups—writers and intellectuals, pastors and dissidents, women, youth, and working-class men—the author delves into the policies that shaped their experiences and status before, during, and after the transformative events of 1989, revealing a complex and nuanced portrait of life in the GDR.
