Synopsis: After more than a year's worth of nearly one thousand encounters with men on the street, Carroll collected photographs of one hundred men who responded "Germany" when asked where they were from (implying their heritage), and who then also agreed to be photographed. In this investigation of ethnicity, Carroll examines the effects of history on the development of Germany's cultural identity. The back cover reprints a passage from Norbert Elias, “The Germans, Civilization and Informalization” (in German). New York, NY: Presse Endémique, 1998.
