Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 13 août 1961 : un mur divise Berlin. Berlin, ville juridiquement quadripartite, occupée depuis 1945 par l’Union soviétique, les États-Unis, la France et la Grande-Bretagne ; ville politiquement bipolaire où l’Est et l’Ouest s’affrontent. Il y règne une atmosphère de guerre froide mais les fronts y sont fluides jusqu’au 13 août 1961. Jusqu’à cette date, on circule à peu près librement dans la ville : l’Est et l’Ouest s’y rencontrent. C’est pour cette raison justement et parce que des milliers d’Allemands empruntent l’échappée berlinoise pour fuir un régime honni que Walter Ulbricht, le dirigeant est-allemand, voulut murer son secteur. Il agissait en son nom et en celui de son protecteur soviétique. Car la crise berlinoise se déroule sur fond de partie de poker entre l’Est et l’Ouest, entre Khrouchtchev et Kennedy, sans qu’on connaisse dès l’abord les buts du dirigeant soviétique : murer Berlin et stabiliser la RDA ? Annexer Berlin-Ouest et mettre à genoux la RFA et l’Occident ? Ambiguë, interminable — puisqu’elle s’ouvre en novembre 1958 et peut-être bien avant —, la crise berlinoise est aussi paradoxale : c’est avec la construction du mur, tangible stabilisateur du régime est-allemand, achèvement de la partition de l’Allemagne, que débute la détente, une détente qui conduira, dans les années soixante-dix et quatre-vingt, au rapprochement inter-allemand...

Download or read book A Wall of Our Own written by Paul M. Farber and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Berlin Wall is arguably the most prominent symbol of the Cold War era. Its construction in 1961 and its dismantling in 1989 are broadly understood as pivotal moments in the history of the last century. In A Wall of Our Own, Paul M. Farber traces the Berlin Wall as a site of pilgrimage for American artists, writers, and activists. During the Cold War and in the shadow of the Wall, figures such as Leonard Freed, Angela Davis, Shinkichi Tajiri, and Audre Lorde weighed the possibilities and limits of American democracy. All were sparked by their first encounters with the Wall, incorporated their reflections in books and artworks directed toward the geopolitics of division in the United States, and considered divided Germany as a site of intersection between art and activism over the respective courses of their careers. Departing from the well-known stories of Americans seeking post–World War II Paris for their own self-imposed exile or traveling the open road of the domestic interstate highway system, Farber reveals the divided city of Berlin as another destination for Americans seeking a critical distance. By analyzing the experiences and cultural creations of "American Berliner" artists and activists, Farber offers a new way to view not only the Wall itself but also how the Cold War still structures our thinking about freedom, repression, and artistic resistance on a global scale.

Download or read book The Berlin Wall written by Fred Taylor and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2006 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the morning of August 13, 1961, the residents of East Berlin found themselves cut off from family, friends and jobs in the West by a tangle of barbed wire that ruthlessly cut a city of four million in two. Within days the barbed-wire entanglement would undergo an extraordinary metamorphosis: it became an imposing 103-mile-long wall guarded by three hundred watchtowers. A physical manifestation of the struggle between Soviet Communism and American capitalism—totalitarianism and freedom—that would stand for nearly thirty years, the Berlin Wall was the high-risk fault line between East and West on which rested the fate of all humanity. Many brave people risked their lives to overcome this lethal barrier, and some paid the ultimate price. In this captivating work, sure to be the definitive history on the subject, Frederick Taylor weaves together official history, archival materials and personal accounts to tell the complete story of the Wall's rise and fall, from the postwar political tensions that created a divided Berlin to the internal and external pressures that led to the Wall's demise. In addition, he explores the geopolitical ramifications as well as the impact the wall had on ordinary lives that is still felt today. For the first time the entire world faced the threat of imminent nuclear apocalypse, a fear that would be eased only when the very people the Wall had been built to imprison breached it on the historic night of November 9, 1989. Gripping and authoritative, The Berlin Wall is the first comprehensive account of a divided city and its people in a time when the world seemed to stand permanently on the edge of destruction.
