Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Hypersexuality and Headscarves by Damani J. Partridge Discusses the politics of multiculturalism, citizenship and exclusion FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this compelling study, Damani J. Partridge explores citizenship and exclusion in Germany since the fall of the Berlin Wall. That event seemed to usher in a new era of universal freedom, but post-reunification transformations of German society have in fact produced noncitizens: non-white and "foreign" Germans who are simultaneously portrayed as part of the nation and excluded from full citizenship. Partridge considers the situation of Vietnamese guest workers "left behind" in the former East Germany; images of hypersexualized black bodies reproduced in popular culture and intimate relationships; and debates about the use of the headscarf by Muslim students and teachers. In these and other cases, which regularly provoke violence against those perceived to be different, he shows that German national and European projects are complicit in the production of distinctly European noncitizens.

[P]rovides a case study for how one can look at identity politics in connection with the debates about human or national rights for citizens." Sander L. Gilman, Emory University "Full of surprisingly fresh insights that make one see the politics of the body in Germany in a totally new way... [O]pens up new horizons in conceptualizing the place of biologically non-German bodies in contemporary Germany... [S]hows that parallel processes are at work for Vietnamese, African, and Muslim immigrants and also for immigrants who first arrived to East and West Germany."

Review Quote "[This] books impressive ethnographic breadth thus serves to convey just how varied, pervasive, and entrenched the mechanisms of exclusion are in Germany. . . Taken as a whole, Partridges portrait of exclusion in Germany is an illuminating and damning one.
