Nazi buildings, Cold War traces and governmentality in post-unification Berlin

Zusammenfassung: "Bringing together approaches from cultural and urban history, as well as German studies and political theory, Clare Copley's probing study reflects on post-unification responses to iconic Nazi architecture to reveal insights into power, legitimacy and memory politics in the Berlin Republic.
