In eastern Germany the Sorbs (or Wends) comprise a minority population who speak a Slavic language. The Austrians and Swiss Germans speak German, although they are ethnically distinct. German-speaking minorities are found in France (Alsace-Lorraine), Romania (Transylvania), the Czech Republic, Siberian Russia, Central Asia, Poland, and Italy (Tyrol).

For reasons that puzzle a reviewer with a background in French history, Germanists still seem preoccupied, either as supporters or opponents, with the Sonderweg. Wiik dates this change far too early (Stone Age) for the majority of Germanists to accept it: generally it is believed not to take place until the Iron Age. Readers will find articles on the Crusades and Luther, on Wagner's Ring cycle and Schopenhauer's philosophy of the will, on Freud's Interpretation of Dreams and the New German Cinema of the 1970s--all written by Germanists currently working in American German departments. |
