Socio-cultural approaches have increasingly shown that a single-minded emphasis on repression and coercion fails to address a number of important historical issues, including those related to the subjective experiences of those who lived under communist regimes. With that in mind, the essays in this volume explore significant physical and psychological aspects of life in the GDR, such as health and diet, leisure and dining, memories of the Nazi past, as well as identity, sports, and experiences of everyday humiliation. Situating the GDR within a broader historical context, they open up new ways of interpreting life behind the Iron Curtain -- while providing a devastating critique of misleading mainstream scholarship, which continues to portray the GDR in the restrictive terms of totalitarian theory."-- Provided by publisher 410 0$aSpektrum (New York, N.Y.) ;$vv. 6. 606 $aSocialism$zGermany (East)$xHistory 606 $aMedical policy$zGermany (East) 606 $aPublic health$zGermany (East) 606 $aSocialism and culture$zGermany (East) 607 $aGermany (East)$xSocial policy 607 $aGermany (East)$xSocial conditions 607 $aGermany (East)$xCultural policy 615 0$aSocialism$xHistory. 615 0$aMedical policy 615 0$aPublic health 615 0$aSocialism and culture 676 $a943/.10874 686 $aNQ 6970$2rvk 701 $aFulbrook$b Mary$f1951-$0146984 701 $aPort$b Andrew I$01473981 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790424003321 996 $aBecoming East German$93687378 997 $aUNINA
