" A] timely and important contribution to the current scholarship
on the Cold War and the critical reassessment of Cold War history
within an interdisciplinary, comparative, and transnational
framework...The editors are to be commended for promoting a
comparative perspective in the individual essays themselves and
through the thoughtful selection of topics from East and West
German perspectives." . Sabine Hake, University of Texas, Austin
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.
