Displacing and Displaying the Objects of Others is a thought-provoking collection that brings together a diverse range of contributions inspired by research from the "Hamburg’s (post-)colonial legacy" research center. The authors explore new perspectives in provenance research by situating it within the broader contexts of global history, colonial history, and postcolonial studies. This volume goes beyond simply tracing the origins of objects, considering the significant impact on the societies from which these objects originate. It also critically examines how these objects were used in collections and museums and how the process of musealization shaped collecting practices. With its multiperspective approach, Displacing and Displaying the Objects of Others encourages readers to reflect on the deep connections between past and present and to consider responsible ways of engaging with colonial collections.

Like no other country’s Germany’s identity is shaped by its history or rather by the critical engagement with this history. The book traces the most important public debates on history since the new millennium thereby adding a mosaic of topics and perspectives to the memorial landscape of the Berlin Republic. The book is divided into five parts, "German Empire and the question of continuity", "National Socialism and World War II", "The Holocaust and Multidirectional Memory", "GDR/BRD/Unification" to "The Berlin Republic. Marginalization and new Master Narratives", and addresses them from different biographical backgrounds, thereby creating a mosaic of topics and perspectives.
