Mr痙ek focuses on the minutiae of daily life in two camps: Theresienstadt, a Nazi \"ghetto\" for Jews near Prague, and the Dutch \"isolation camp\" Boven Digoel-which was located in a remote part of New Guinea between 1927 and 1943 and held Indonesian rebels who attempted to overthrow the colonial government. Drawing on a mix of interviews with survivors and their descendants, archival accounts, ephemera, and media representations, Mr痙ek shows how modern life's most mundane tasks-buying clothes, getting haircuts, playing sports-continued on in the camps, which were themselves designed, built, and managed in accordance with modernity's tenets. In this way, Mr痙ek demonstrates that concentration camps are not exceptional spaces; they are the locus of modernity in its most distilled form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Mr痙ek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478006676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478006671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.30d","brand":"Rudolf Mr痙ek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935585698047,"sku":"9781478006671","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_36f4bb76-bfbc-41d0-a819-cbcb65952736.jpg?v=1681420662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-complete-lives-of-camp-rudolf-mr-zek-9781478006671","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
