A series of dialogues are created between Asian-German authors, such as Yoko Tawada, Pham Thi Hoài, and Anna Kim, with an earlier generation of German-speaking authors and artists whose works engaged with Asia, including W.G. Sebald, Peter Weiss, and Joseph Beuys. Asian-German voices are here shown to reshape the German cultural landscape.

Gutes Exemplar. - Englisch. - This book contributes to a historically evolving conversation about immigration as a facet of globalization in the European context. Focusing on literary and artistic works from the post-Wortd War II era, the author uses a "catl-and-response" structure - as in African-American slave songs, Indian kirtans, and Jewish liturgy - to create a series of dialogues between Asian-German authors, including Yoko Tawada, Pham Thi Hoai, and Anna Kim, and an earlier generation of German-speaking authors and artists whose works engaged with "Asia," including W. G. Sebald, Peter Weiss, and Joseph Beuys. Considering the recent successes of the New Right, which have brought about a regression to Nazi anti-Semitic discourses grounded in the equation between Jews and "Orientals," the author advocates a need for solidarity between Germans and Asian-Germans. .
