  • Summary

    The Epilogue underscores the value of analyzing German histories that flowed through nation-states and regimes, over the ruptures of World War II, the immediate postwar era, through the period of dueling German nation-states, and across the dramatic events of unification that informed the lives of people living inside and outside of the new German nation-state during and after the 1990s.The point of writing such a counter-hegemonic history is to understand the limitations of the narrative strategies we have inherited, and sometimes uncritically accepted, and to strive to develop and harness narratives that will reveal the most about the actions and motivations of people in particular historical situations.To do that, we need more flexible strategies; we need more narrative strategies.Not just a new one.
