Description
The studies in East and Central European History Writing in Exile 1939-1989, all written by experts in the history of the region, give answers to the comprehensive question of how the experience of exile during the time of the Nazi and Communist totalitarianism influenced and still influences history writing and the historical consciousness both in the countries hosting exile historians, as well as in the home countries which these historians left.
The volume comprises difficult-to-access information about the organization and the work of historians exiled from the Baltic States, including Baltic Germans, Belorusia, Ukraine, and Poland. And it provides reflections on the intellectuals networking between their own national and the foreign traditions in the exile.
Contributors are: Olavi Arens, Miroslaw Filipowicz, Joerg Hackmann, Volodymyr Kravchenko, Oleg Latyszonek, Andreas Lawaty, Iveta Leitane, Artur Mekarski, Andrzej Nowak, Gert von Pistohlkors, Andrejs Plakans, Toivo Raun, Rafal Stobiecki, Miroslaw A. Supruniuk, Jaan Undusk, and Maria Zadencka.
