Divided, But Not Disconnected : German Experiences of the Cold War, Hardback Book

Divided, But Not Disconnected : German Experiences of the Cold War Hardback

Edited by Tobias Hochscherf, Christoph Laucht, Andrew Plowman

Hardback

Description

The Allied agreement after the Second World War did not only partition Germany, it divided the nation along the fault-lines of a new bipolar world order.

This inner border made Germany a unique place to experience the Cold War, and the “German question” in this post-1945 variant remained inextricably entwined with the vicissitudes of the Cold War until its end.

This volume explores how social and cultural practices in both German states between 1949 and 1989 were shaped by the existence of this inner border, putting them on opposing sides of the ideological divide between the Western and Eastern blocs, as well as stabilizing relations between them.

This volume’s interdisciplinary approach addresses important intersections between history, politics, and culture, offering an important new appraisal of the German experiences of the Cold War.
