Description
When foreigners' hostels were being burned in Rostock by young neo-Nazi thugs, who were the thousands of middle-aged, middle class Germans standing by, shouting encouragement? Can the survey which suggests one in five Germans would consider voting for extreme right-wing parties be believed? Three years after the fall of the Berlin Wall Granta 42 looks into the ugly face of nationalism and asks what has happened to our hopes for a new world order.Tags

Dreary and dull, nearly the entire issue is devoted to Germany's problems post unification. I think at the time, late 1992, the U.K. was watching with horror as Germany showed signs of rising nationalism and violence to foreigners, and appeared to be welcoming a neo-Nazi movement.
The few articles not focused on Germany--first-hand accounts of the Gulf War bombing of Baghdad and the wars in Croatia and Bosnia--are much more enlightening. Amazing the horrors humans inflict on each other.
