{"product_id":"friendship-without-borders-phil-leask-9781805391180","title":"Friendship Without Borders: Women's Stories of Power, Politics, and Everyday Life Across East and West Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003e Across half a century, from the division of Germany through the end of the Cold War, a cohort of thirty women from the small German town of Schebeck in what used to be the GDR circulated among themselves a remarkable collective archive of their lives: a \u003cem\u003eRundbrief\u003c\/em\u003e, or bulletin, containing hundreds of letters and photographs. This book draws on that unprecedented resource, complemented by a set of interviews, to paint a rich portrait of \"ordinary\" life in postwar Germany. It shows how these women-whether reflecting on their experiences as Nazi-era schoolchildren or witnessing reunification-were united by their complex interactions with official power and their commitment to sustaining a shared German identity as they made the most of their everyday lives in both the GDR and the Federal Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phil Leask\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805391186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805391180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Phil Leask","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598428238079,"sku":"9781805391180","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f467d18-3069-464b-945d-277a67f8aa73.jpg?v=1702382459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/friendship-without-borders-phil-leask-9781805391180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
