- Based on four years of research, this 228 page monograph is drawn from over 100 novels and short stories published in the GDR that address flight or expulsion. These were sourced via original archive research in Magdeburg, the Federal Archives (Berlin), the Akademie der Künste and via secondhand bookshop resources. Through collating and analysing these resources Niven was able to establish that, contrary to established views, flight and expulsion were subject to a significant developing literary discourse in the GDR, and in post-unification east Germany. Additional funding of £1464 from the MHRA supported the dissemination of this research.
