The traces of the Cold War are still visible in many places all around
the world. It is the topic of exhibits and new museums, of memorial
days and historic sites, of documentaries and movies, of arts and
culture. There are historical and political controversies, both
nationally and internationally, about how the history of the Cold War
should be told and taught, how it should be represented and
remembered. While much has been written about the political history of
the Cold War, the analysis of its memory and representation is just
beginning. Bringing together a wide range of scholars, this volume
describes and analyzes the cultural history and representation of the
Cold War from an international perspective. That innovative approach
focuses on master narratives of the Cold War, places of memory, public
and private memorialization, popular culture, and schoolbooks. Due to
its unique status as a center of Cold War confrontation and
competition, Cold War memory in Berlin receives a special emphasis.
With the friendly support of the Wilson Center.
