This important and diverse volume presents fascinating insights into the tensions, rivalries, and occasional cooperation between the two blocs, with essays that represent the cutting edge of Cold War Studies and analyze aesthetic preferences and cultural phenomena as various as interior design in East and West Germany; the Soviet stance on genetics; US cultural diplomacy during and after the Cold War; and the role of popular music as the universal cultural ambassador. An illuminating and wide-ranging survey of interrelated collective dreams from both sides of the Iron Curtain, Divided Dreamworlds? has a place on the bookshelf of any modern historian.Studies of the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation.Cold WarSocial aspectsCongressesCold War in popular cultureCongressesCold WarSocial aspectsCold War in popular culture909.82Romijn PeterScott-Smith Giles1968-Segal JoesUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910141429103321Divided Dreamworlds1803055UNINA
