Why is it important?
Scholarly interest in East Central Europe has until now often been related to the emergence, establishment and eventual demise of state socialism, the horrors of World War II and the profound transformations that swept through its many old-new countries during recent decades. This thematic issue highlights recent urban historical approaches that challenge some of the common assumptions in the history of the region.
Perspectives
The studies address issues such as Orientalism, urbanisation and everyday anti-Semitism.
