The Constructed Mennonite: History, Memory, and the Second World War - Werner, Hans

Clean, tight, unmarked; personal inscription on ffep; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The Constructed Mennonite is a unique account of a life shaped by Stalinism, Nazism, migration, famine, and war. It investigates the tenuous spaces where individual experiences inform and become public history; it studies the ways in which memory shapes identity and reveals how context and audience shape autobiographical narratives. "A significant contribution particularly to the canon of life stories of Mennonites (and other Soviet Germans) who lived through the tragic years of Stalinist repression and the Second World War... provides important and rare insight into issues of belonging and identity." - Marlene Epp
