Although unprecedented in its magnitude, conventional wisdom has it that the integration of refugees, expellees, and \u003ci\u003eAussiedler\u003c\/i\u003e was a largely successful process in postwar Germany. While the achievements of the integration process are acknowledged, the volume also examines the difficulties encountered by ethnic Germans in the Federal Republic and analyses the shortcomings of dealing with this particular phenomenon of mass migration and its consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“... a compelling investigation [that] unites political and policy analysis ... with cultural criticism and primary sources.” \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  · German Studies Review \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"The book addresses an important subject ...
