De-Centering Cold War History
7

2 Cold War histories are often told as stories of national leaders, state policies,
y
r and the global confrontation that pitted a Communist Eastern Bloc against a
a
u Capitalist West. De-Centering Cold War History takes a new analytical
n
Ja approach to reveal unexpected complexities in the historical trajectory of the
6 Cold War.
1
4 This book challenges the Cold War master narratives that focus on super-
0
: power politics by shifting our analytical perspective to include local-level
7
1 experiences and regional initiatives that were crucial to the making of a Cold
t
a War world. Contributions from an international group of scholars take a
o] fresh look at historical agency in different places across the world, including
t
n Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. This collaborative effort shapes a
o
or street-level history of the global Cold War era, one that uses the analysis of
T the “local” to rethink and reframe the wider picture of the “global”, con-
f
o necting the political negotiations of individuals and communities at the
y
t intersection of places, and of meeting points between “ordinary” people and
i
s
r political elites to the Cold War at large.

has focused on the cultural and intellectual history of modern China, par-
ticularly on the history of modern student activism in the twentieth
century. Currently, he isworking on two new research projects. The first is
an analysis of the role of Maoist China in inspiring and defining political
and intellectual activism in the US and France between the late 1960s
and the late 1970s. The second is a street-level history of a district of
Beijing between 1953 and 1983, tracing how communism (and
capitalism) redefined and transformed the practices and rhythms of the
7 everyday.
