Recenzje

[Thomas's] study adopts a comparative approach rooted in the everyday history of the local in order to contribute to a broader post-war East–West German shared history — one with a social history slant — that builds on the detailed existing picture of East–West differences by documenting connections and appropriations between the two systems ... will be of interest to scholars of East–West German histories and the transformation of rural and urban spaces alike.
