“…will appeal to readers who have a background in German history and an interest in poststructural analyses and the grand themes of German studies.” • Journal of Modern History “By eschewing grand narratives, Ruptures in the Everyday has made an important contribution to German Studies. The book will make a valuable teaching resource in that it will encourage students to link the everyday experiences of Germans over the past century with their own ethical responsibilities for the present.” • Werkstattgeschichte “As a whole, this volume offers an innovative contribution to the continuity problem of German history in the 20th century…The editors and their authors have succeeded in taking their readership onto an unconventional and intellectually often fascinating journey into German everyday life, and not only historically, which allows fascinating and fresh insights.” • Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft “The studies collected in this fascinating ‘experiment in collaborative scholarship’ are richly empirical, brimming with compelling insights, and thought-provoking in their use of stories from everyday life to illuminate extremely important aspects of the German experience in the twentieth century and its decisive epochs. Overall, it constitutes a major contribution to the interdisciplinary scholarship of modern Germany and Europe.” • Dennis Sweeney, University of Alberta
