What are the everyday sites of the production of rightwing ideology in Germany? How do practices apparently designed to teach tolerance in fact exclude some groups? What is the relationship between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in Germany, and how does the state mediate the meanings of these terms? In this conversation between two scholars, we hear about the significance of “homeland” in Germany today and consider the relationships among citizenship, race, and religion. Finally, we consider what all of this suggests about current events in the United States today.
