Description
Summary:This edited volume provides a comparative analysis of the history of borderland children during the 20th Century. More than their parents, children were envisioned to play a crucial role in bringing about a peaceful Europe. The contributions show the complexity of nationalisation within various spheres of borderland children´s lives and display the dichotomy between nationalist policies and manifest non-national practices of borderland children. Despite the different imaginations of East and West that had influenced peace negotiators after both World Wars, moreover, borderland children in Western and Central Europe invented practices that contributed to the creation of a socially cohesive Europe.
Dieser Sammelband bietet eine vergleichende Analyse der Geschichte von Kindern des 20. Jahrhunderts, die an Grenzen aufgewachsen sind. Noch mehr als ihre Eltern, sollten diese Kinder eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Schaffung eines friedlichen Europas spielen.
