Imagining the World from Behind the Iron Curtain
The Sixties occupy a prominent place in popular culture and scholarship as an era of global upheavals, including the Civil Rights Movement, de-colonization, radical social movements, student and youth protests, and the Vietnam War. This pioneering book explores the seemingly isolated Eastern bloc and a non-capitalist context, demonstrating the impact of those global upheavals on young people in Poland in the form of international youth culture, protest movements, and counterculture.
Socialist Escapes
During much of the Cold War, physical escape from countries in the Eastern Bloc was a nearly impossible act. There remained, however, possibilities for other socialist escapes, particularly time spent free from party ideology and the mundane routines of everyday life. The essays in this volume examine sites of socialist escapes, such as beaches, campgrounds, nightclubs, concerts, castles, cars, and soccer matches. The chapters explore the effectiveness of state efforts to engineer society through leisure, entertainment, and related forms of cultural programming and consumption. They lead to a deeper understanding of state–society relations in the Soviet sphere, where the state did not simply “dictate from above” and inhabitants had some opportunities to shape solidarities, identities, and meaning.

What They Didn't Burn
What if you uncovered a Nazi paper trail that revealed your father to be a man very different from the quiet, introspective dad you knew . . . or thought you knew? Growing up, author Mel Laytner saw his father as a quintessential Type B: passive and conventional. As he uncovered documents the Nazis didn’t burn, however, another man emerged—a black market ringleader and wily camp survivor who made his own luck. The tattered papers also shed light on painful secrets his father took to his grave. Melding the intimacy of personal memoir with the rigors of investigative journalism, What They Didn’t Burn is a heartwarming, inspiring story of resilience and redemption. A story of how desperate survivors turned hopeful refugees rebuilt their shattered lives in America, all the while struggling with the lingering trauma that has impacted their children to this day.
Schleichwege
Mit der Öffnung der Grenzen innerhalb des Ostblocks, mit dem Austausch von Vertragsarbeitern und Studenten und der Gründung von Kulturinstituten suchten die staatssozialistischen Regime einen lebendigen Kontakt zwischen den Brudervölkern zu etablieren. Diese »transnationalen Zwischenräume« schufen zugleich Freiräume alternativer Kulturen und Lebensstile, förderten einen umfassenden, geradezu sprichwörtlichen Schleichhandel und stabilisierten schließlich die wechselseitige Ablehnung in der Zwangsgemeinschaft des Staatssozialismus. Die hier versammelten Beiträge ost- und westeuropäischer Zeithistoriker ermöglichen tiefe Einblicke in zentrale Fragen einer Alltagsgeschichte des Staatssozialismus und zeichnen ein farbiges Bild voller Spannungen zwischen staatlicher Kontrolle und alltäglichem Eigensinn.
