"All told, this volume successfully brings together its fascinating chapters into a powerful interdisciplinary analysis. German Division as Shared Experience is a significant achievement that will serve as a bedrock for future research on the 'entanglement' of the Cold War Germanies. The editors and contributors have produced a genuinely pathbreaking book." * The Journal of Modern History"Thanks to an innovative approach to history that draws on material as heterogeneous as it is sensitive to cultural experiences of daily life, following Bourdieu and Foucault, this helps to bring out and question the experiences of Germans for more than forty years of division from 1945 to 1990. It offers a stimulating and unprecedented insight into a past that is (re)discovered on both sides of the Wall, strangely close and dissimilar at the same time." * Francia
"A refreshing, enlightening read across a good range of topics. This collection shows itself to be as integrated across disciplinary approaches as it shows the German experience to have been during and after the period of division." * Mark Allinson, University of Bristol
"This genuinely engaging book offers an intriguing exploration of the diverse cultural practices that shaped experiences of postwar Germany." * Paul Steege, Villanova University
