Book Review

Deutsch-amerikanischer Kulturaustausch im 20. Jahrhundert: Bildung-Wissenschaft-Politik (German-American cultural exchange in the 20th century: Education—science—politics). By Karl-Heinz Füssl. (Frankfurt/Main: Campus, 2004. 328 pp. €37.90, ISBN 3-593-37499-4.) In German.

Such familiar images as the research seminar and the doctoral degree trace their lineage quite literally back to Germany, even if the political tides of the twentieth century often made it impolitic to emphasize the connection. Since 1945, German-American educational cooperation has become much more visible, as intellectuals and institutions have developed a lively network of exchange programs that are the envy of specialists in other fields.
