Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This edited volume gathers essays examining how the global political and ideological conflict of the Cold War shaped literature worldwide — from North America and Western Europe to Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Soviet bloc. Through analyses of novels, poetry, theatre, and autobiographical writings, the book explores how writers responded to themes such as war, revolution, ideological struggle, nationalism, resistance, and identity, reflecting the complex cultural and human dimensions of Cold War geopolitics. The volume emphasizes voices from “peripheral” regions of Cold War influence, offering a broader, global literary perspective on a defining historical period.
