For about a decade after the GDR's collapse, interpretations of East German history focused on power, repression, dissent, and resistance to communism. However, socio-cultural approaches have revealed that an exclusive focus on repression overlooks the subjective experiences of those who lived under such regimes. The essays in this volume delve into significant physical and psychological aspects of life in the GDR, addressing topics like health, diet, leisure, memories of the Nazi past, identity, sports, and everyday humiliations. By situating the GDR within a broader historical context, these essays offer new interpretations of life behind the Iron Curtain and critique mainstream scholarship that often frames the GDR through the lens of totalitarian theory. Mary Fulbrook, a Professor of German History at University College London, has authored several notable works and is currently directing a project on the reverberations of war in Germany and Europe since 1945. Andrew I. Port, an Associate Professor of history at Wayne State University, specializes in modern Germany, communism, labor history, and social protest, with a focus on German responses to genocide since 1945.
