Description

Product Description The twentieth century in Europe was characterized by great moments of rupture, with two world wars, ideological conflict, and political polarization. In these processes, as well as in the historical writing that followed in its wake, the individual as an historical entity often appeared crushed. In line with contemporary theories about the precariousness of historical writing and the self, this volume seeks to understand the important developments in modern Europe from the perspective of the single, sometimes isolated, but always original viewpoint of individuals inhabiting the space at the other side of the traditional grand narratives. Including theoretical chapters as well as detailed case studies, this volume takes a biographical approach to dystopian events―the Holocaust, Fascism, Communism, and collectivization―by starting with the voices of unknown historical actors and relating their experiences to larger processes in modern European history, such as the emergence of the national, collective memory, and state formation, as well as changes in the understanding of modern identities and the (re)formulation of the self. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Review of History ― Revue Européenne d’histoire. About the Author Ilse Josepha Lazaroms is a Prins Fellow at the Center for Jewish History in New York City, USA. She received her PhD from the Department of History & Civilization at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, in 2010. Her first book, The Grace of Misery: Joseph Roth and the Politics of Exile, 1919–1939, was published in 2013. Her articles have appeared in the Leo Baeck Yearbook, the Simon Dubnow Institute Yearbook, and Zutot: Perspectives on Jewish Culture. She is on the Academic Board of the European Review of History, and a contributor to The Jewish Quarterly. Her current research focuses on responses to catastrophe and narratives of anti-Jewish violence in Central Europe and in particular Hungary. Emily R. Gioielli is currently a doctoral candidate in the Department of History at Central European University, Budapest, Hungary. Her research focuses on the social and international history of the White Terror in post-World War I Hungary.
