This collection explores the various forms of violence these nations confronted during this period, which effectively transformed the region into a laboratory for state-building. Employing a bottom-up approach to understanding everyday life, these studies trace the contours of individual and mass violence in the interwar era while illuminating their effects upon politics, intellectual developments, and the arts UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781789209402?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781789209402 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781789209402/original ER -
