Local Lives, Parallel Histories

Villagers and Everyday Life in Divided Germany

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Thirty years after German reunification, we still know little about what division meant to Germans who lived far from divided Berlin or the inner-German border. This work uses oral history interviews and archival evidence to compare how villagers in East and West experienced the two very different social and political systems in their localities.
