The postwar period is no longer current affairs but is becoming the
recent past. As such, it is increasingly attracting the attentions
of historians. Whilst the Cold War has long been a mainstay of
political science and contemporary history, recent research
approaches postwar Europe in many different ways, all of which are
represented in the 35 chapters of this book. As well as diplomatic,
political, institutional, economic, and social history, the The
Oxford Handbook of Postwar European History contains chapters which
approach the past through the lenses of gender, espionage, art and
architecture, technology, agriculture, heritage, postcolonialism,
memory, and generational change, and shows how the history of
postwar Europe can be enriched by looking to disciplines such as
anthropology and philosophy. The Handbook covers all of Europe,
with a notable focus on Eastern Europe. Including subjects as
diverse as the meaning of 'Europe' and European identity, southern
Europe after dictatorship, the cultural meanings of the bomb, the
1968 student uprisings, immigration, Americanization, welfare,
leisure, decolonization, the Wars of Yugoslav Succession, and
coming to terms with the Nazi past, the thirty five essays in this
Handbook offer an unparalleled coverage of postwar European history
that offers far more than the standard Cold War framework. Readers
will find self-contained, state-of-the-art analyses of major
subjects, each written by acknowledged experts, as well as
stimulating and novel approaches to newer topics. Combining
empirical rigour and adventurous conceptual analysis, this Handbook
offers in one substantial volume a guide to the numerous ways in
which historians are now rewriting the history of postwar Europe.
