Lisa Pine is Associate Fellow of the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, UK. She is the author of Nazi Family Policy, 1933-1945 (1997), Hitler’s “National Community”: Society and Culture in Nazi Germany (2007, 2017), Education in Nazi Germany (2010) and Debating Genocide (2018). She is the editor of Life and Times in Nazi Germany (2016) and The Family in Modern Germany (2020).

Lisa Pine’s latest edited volume will prove to be invaluable for scholars and students interested in the history of everyday life in dictatorships in Western and Eastern Europe. The transnational, comparative approach illuminates the diverse responses of ordinary citizens to these regimes, and the ways in which individuals conformed to, accommodated or evaded state control. With nuanced analysis of daily life in diverse societies, the chapters in this cohesive volume offer an extraordinary glimpse into the social and cultural history of coercion, consent, and dissent in some of the most violent regimes of the twentieth century.
