Klappentext
Hohn explores the encounter between Germans and the American troops stationed in the Rhineland-Palatinate, a state in southwest Germany, during the 1950s. Hohn shows that German anxieties over widespread Americanization were also debates about proper gender norms and racial boundaries, and that while the American military brought democracy with them to Germany, they also brought Jim Crow.


Zusammenfassung
With the outbreak of the Korean War, the West German state of Rhineland-Palatinate became home to some of the largest American military installations outside the USA. This book explores the social, cultural and economic changes that resulted from this German-American encounter.
