In the United States, German studies traces its beginnings to the late nineteenth century, when research universities were founded on the German model. The dominance of German as a foreign language before World War I and the decline in enrollments during that war are salient points in the discipline's social history. Today German studies finds itself at a crossroads, facing unexpected change in the structure of higher education and in the cultural and economic support for studying language and literature. Instead of taking a narrative or chronological approach, this volume foregrounds multiple, heterogeneous aspects of German as a discipline. They include: The composition of the professoriat Employment patterns The place of women the dramatic effects of World Wars I and II, and of the Soviet Sputnik success, on enrollments, jobs, and budgets The support--and indifference--of the large (once 4 million people) German American community The role of research universities, leading scholars, major books in the field the role of professional organizations, conferences, and journals The Americanization of German studies The role of Jewish scholars and of the Holocaust The fact of there having been two Germanys German Studies in the United States is an important contribution to the history of higher education in this country.

Teaching a foreign language and culture is always a challenge, but it has been especially problematic to teach the German language and culture in the United States in the twentieth century. The tradition of Germany's great poets and thinkers of the past has been joined by a starker legacy. Through explorations of such topics as the world wars, the Holocaust, women in the language-teaching profession, Jewish contributions, and technology's impact on scholarship, this volume inspects the fascination and frustrating relationships of the two cultures as they interact through the teaching of German in American educational systems--from small liberal arts colleges to large and famous universities. This volume resulted from a conference, "Shaping Forces in American Germanics," held in Madison, Wisconsin in September 1996.
