Aus der schönen neuen Welt

With a new report on the issues in psychiatry, Günter Wallraff is once again on the move - specifically in places where work no longer suffices for a living: in a call center, as a low-wage worker in a bread factory, and as a homeless person. The shocking results of his research provide plenty of explosive material. The everyday racism faced by people of color in Germany is no state secret. Yet, without Günter Wallraff, this topic would not be back in the spotlight. The book is both good and necessary, due to a simple fact: the described grievances are so widespread that voices fighting against them cannot be loud enough. Wallraff, an institution of the old Federal Republic, returns to his position with this book. As an advocate for the disenfranchised, he is rightly feared by the opposing side.
