Transnational Moments of Change
Europe 1945, 1968, 1989

Offering a broad introduction to the methodology and practice of transnational history, this work focuses on three defining moments of 20th century European history, when changes affected the whole of the continent.

This anthology of fourteen original essays is the first collection of transnational studies on post-1945 western and eastern European society written by historians. The contributors target three particular moments of rapid change in postwar Europe - the moment of liberation, 1943-48; the 1960s; and 1989 as communism began to crumble. The collection opens a range of possibilities for historians of post-1945 European society, while providing all contemporary historians with a much needed guide to the methodology of transnational history.
