Until recently, historians of World War II have mainly studied
Europe during liberation--from the final years of the conflict to
the start of the Cold War--from the perspective of nations, of
political units. A whole historiography has been built on examining
how national elites worked to restore institutions, positions of
power, and infrastructure in order to reestablish central authority
within the postwar territory assigned to each state. But, as this
volume shows, the events of liberation played out not only in
politics, but also in society at local, regional, national, and
international levels. In thirteen incisive essays, the contributors
to "Seeking Peace in the Wake of War" examine European social
life--instances of exchange, the actors involved, and their
motivations--during these years of state emergence and transition.
They postulate that the issue of how peace was conceived of and
constructed in the postwar period should be approached as an
episode of reconfiguration stretching far beyond politics, in which
new arrangements were reached within societies, states, and the
international order.
