Books by Eli Nathans

Why did German states for so long make it extraordinarily difficult for foreigners who were not ethnic Germans to become citizens? Beginning in the early nineteenth century and covering the dramatic changes of the 1990s, this work challenges the traditional interpretation of the role of ethnicity.

This book examines the pioneering radio broadcasts and television documentaries about the United States made in the 1950s by the influential West German journalist Peter von Zahn.
