German in the World

The volume advocates for an expansion of German studies beyond its traditional roots in German literary studies, embracing the transnational turn, decolonization, diasporic literatures, migration, exile, cultural transfer, and hybridity. * THE YEAR'S WORK IN MODERN LANGUAGE STUDIES * This interesting volume of essays seeks to address a crisis that has been unfolding in German studies, indeed in modern language studies generally, for at least four decades. . . . Hodkinson and Schofield bring together some responses to the challenges German studies face . . . reflect[ing] the current concerns about diversity and widening inclusivity, de-colonizing the curriculum, de-centring the field and liberation from the straightjacket of the canon. . . . De-centering, de-colonizing, seeking to remedy social and other forms of exclusion through scholarship and teaching are admirable aims. . . . The questions Hodkinson and Schofield have raised are certain to be debated for some time. -- Joachim Whaley * JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN STUDIES *
