More than a decade after unification, Germany remains deeply divided. Following East and West German police officers on their patrols through the newlyunited city of Berlin and observing how they make sense of one another in a fastchanging environment, Andreas Glaeser explains how EastWest boundaries have been maintained by the interactions of institutions, practices, and cultural formsincluding diverging patterns of understanding rooted in vastly different social systems, readily revived Cold War images, the continuing search for an adequate response to Germany's Nazi past, and the politics and organization of unification, which impose highly asymmetrical burdens on east and west. Glaeser also leverages his ethnography to develop an innovative approach to studying identity formation processes. Central to his theory is an emphasis on the exchange of identifications and the particular ways in which they are deployed and recognized in interpretations, narratives, and performances as parts of facetoface encounters, political discourses, and organizational practices.
