Klappentext zu „Hypersexuality and Headscarves: Race, Sex, and Citizenship in the New Germany “
In this compelling study, Damani J. Partridge explores citizenship andexclusion in Germany since the fall of the Berlin Wall. That event seemed to usherin a new era of universal freedom, but post-reunification transformations of Germansociety have in fact produced noncitizens: non-white and "foreign" Germanswho are simultaneously portrayed as part of the nation and excluded from fullcitizenship. Partridge considers the situation of Vietnamese guest workers"left behind" in the former East Germany; images of hypersexualized blackbodies reproduced in popular culture and intimate relationships; and debates aboutthe 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 showsthat German national and European projects are complicit in the production ofdistinctly European noncitizens. The author's experiences as an African Americanresearcher become a substantive part of the analysis.

Rezension zu „Hypersexuality and Headscarves: Race, Sex, and Citizenship in the New Germany “
"Partridge shows how being included in the body politic can be a form of social control and exclusion... [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." Esra Ozyurek, University of California, San Diego
