Book Synopsis
When the Berlin wall fell and the reunification of Germany began, Willy Brandt predicted that 'what belongs together will now grow together.'This study of Berlin's police force in the aftermath of reunification shows that forty years of separation left the nation with deep rifts.

Trade Review
"A curious puzzle lies at the heart of Glaeser's skillful ethnography.... The dominant reason given for unifying Germany was a shared nationality. Yet as Glaeser convincingly illustrates, the process of unification has foundered on the very shoals of cultural difference.... This book is fascinating, theoretically rich, and empirically rewarding." - Martha Lampland, American Journal of Sociology
