Reviews
'Jan Plamper's book is an invitation to rethink modern German history through the lens of migration. The author is admirably attentive to the experiences and perspectives of migrants from different backgrounds. Wide-ranging and astute, We Are All Migrants is also a highly personal account. I welcome it wholeheartedly.' Peter Gatrell, author of The Unsettling of Europe: The Great Migration, 1945 to the Present
'A fascinating, highly original history of Germany as a largely successful multicultural saga. Beginning with the story of German emigration to the United States and Russia and moving on to discuss the many migrations to postwar Germany, Jan Plamper's well-written and surprising book should change the way we think about Germany.' Susan Neiman, author of Learning from the Germans: Confronting Race and the Memory of Evil
