Günter Wallraff


Born
in Germany
October 01, 1942


Günter Wallraff is a German writer and journalist. He came to prominence thanks to his striking journalistic research methods and several major books on lower class working conditions and tabloid journalism. This style of research is based on what the reporter experiences personally after covertly becoming part of the subgroup under investigation. Wallraff would construct a fictional identity so that he was not recognisable as a journalist. In this way, he created books which denounce what he considers to be social injustices and which try to provide readers with new insights into the way in which society works.

“Ich weiß inzwischen immer noch nicht, wie ein Ausländer die täglichen Demütigungen, die Feindseligkeiten und den Hass verarbeitet. Aber ich weiß jetzt, was er zu ertragen hat und wie weit die Menschenverachtung in diesem Land gehen kann. Ein Stück Apartheid findet mitten unter uns statt - in unserer Demokratie.”
