Divided Dreamworlds? The Cultural Cold War in East and West (original) (raw)

This collection, edited by Joes Segal, Peter Romijn, and myself, appeared with Amsterdam University Press in July 2012. It was originally intended as a kind of follow-up to the popular Cultural Cold War in Western Europe 1945-1960 volume from 2003, but this volume has moved with the times of Cold War Culture research and is quite a different collection, focusing more on cultural production and reception across the blocs rather than cultural confrontation between the blocs. This is the Introduction. For those interested in the whole volume, I believe Amsterdam University Press has placed the entire pdf file on the web via an Open Access Publishing initiative.
