De-Centering Cold War History challenges the Cold War master
narratives that focus on super-power politics by shifting our
analytical perspective to include local-level experiences and
regional initiatives that were crucial to the making of a Cold War
world. Cold War histories are often told as stories of national
leaders, state policies and the global confrontation that pitted a
Communist Eastern Bloc against a Capitalist West. Taking a new
analytical approach this book reveals unexpected complexities in
the historical trajectory of the Cold War. Contributions from an
international group of scholars take a fresh look at historical
agency in different places across the world, including Africa,
Asia, Europe and the Americas. This collaborative effort shapes a
street-level history of the global Cold War era, one that uses the
analysis of the 'local' to rethink and reframe the wider picture of
the 'global', connecting the political negotiations of individuals
and communities at the intersection of places and of meeting points
between 'ordinary' people and political elites to the Cold War at
large. Essential reading for all students of Cold War history.
