The authors of this book deal with four categories along which things are done differently: Gender, Race, Language and Religion. And, at the same time, they work with ambivalences that shape the lives of marginalised people against the backdrop of the dominance of an imagined white male heteronormative German Catholic identity constructionn. Some of the contributions in this book discuss what it means to be marked as "other" and how this "other" is suppressed and made invisible.
