Up to now the study of cold war history has been fully engaged in
stressing the international character and broad themes of the
story. This volume turns such diplomatic history upside down by
studying how actions of international relations affected local
popular life.
Each chapter has its origins in a major international issue, and
then unfolds the consequences of that issue for some region or
city. Thus the starting points for the various contributions are
great unifying questions regarding postwar occupation,
militarization, industrialization, and decolonization. But the
ending points are small and dispersed, such as movies in Japan,
race relations in the American South, forests in East Germany, and
industry in Novosibirsk. Collectively, these stories show how the
cold war affected every facet of life--East and West, urban and
rural, in developed and developing nations, in the superpowers and
on the periphery of the international system.
