No longer a source of unreflective nostalgia for reactionaries, it is now being represented as a more nuanced entity that reflects the complexities of socialist society. The black and white narratives that shaped cultural memory of the GDR during the first fifteen years after the Wende have largely been replaced by more complicated tones of grey.

However, many zoo histories are premised on the problematic assumption that they represent a kind of ‘fresh start’.3 Conventional histories tend to draw sharp dividing lines between modern and premodern eras, attaching little or no value to the continuity of animal exhibition, albeit in very different urban and social settings.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 8, No. 1, 2013, pp. 179-206 BOOK REVIEWS SECTION Rebecca Adler-Nissen and Ulrik Pram Gad (eds.) (2013). European integration and postcolonial sovereignty games: The EU Overseas Countries and Territories . Abingdon: Routledge. xxx+252pp, ISBN-13: 978-0-415-65727-3 (hbk) £80. ISBN: 13:978-0-203- 07684-2 (ebk). The thrust to independence for the remaining colonies slowly ground to a halt in the last part of the Twentieth century. In consequence there now remain a good number of mostly island territories for which sovereign independence is no longer seen as an option. Twenty five of these have a unique relationship with the European Union (EU) defined by the term ‘Overseas Countries and Territories’ (OCT), eleven of which are British, six French, six Dutch and one Danish. Under the terms of the Overseas Association Decision (OAD) adopted in 2001, the OCT have a special and unique relationship with the EU which provides them with preferential trading arrangements and very modest levels of development assistance, among other benefits. The OAD is now under consideration for revision as of the end of 2013. It and the OCT relationship with the EU is little known in the EU and little discussed in the OCT or within the EU member states to which they are associated. It has equally been ignored by the academic community. This book by Adler-Nissen and Gad is the first comprehensive comparative study of the OCT relationship with a particular focus on the triangular relationship linking together the OCT at one corner, the European Commission at another and the member states to which the OCT are linked at the third.
