The book focuses on the key actors and on-the-ground work of the Libraries Section in four central areas: empowering libraries around the world to acquire the books they wanted and needed; facilitating expanded global production of quality translations and affordable books; participating in debates over the contested fate of confiscated books and displaced libraries; and formulating notions of cultural rights as human rights. Through examples from France, Poland, and surviving Jewish Europe, this book provides new insight into the complexities and specificities of UNESCO's role in the realm of books, libraries, and networks of information exchange during the early postwar, post-Holocaust, Cold War years. 000891578 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on July 22, 2019). 000891578 61020 $$aUnesco.$$bLibraries Division$$xHistory. 000891578 650_0 $$aReconstruction (1939-1951)$$zEurope. 000891578 650_0 $$aLibraries$$zEurope$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000891578 651_0 $$aEurope$$xCivilization$$y20th century. 000891578 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030158152$$z9783030158156$$w(OCoLC)1086090316 000891578 830_0 $$aNew directions in book history. 000891578 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000891578 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-15816-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000891578 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:891578$$pGLOBAL_SET 000891578 980__ $$aEBOOK 000891578 980__ $$aBIB 000891578 982__ $$aEbook 000891578 983__ $$aOnline 000891578 994__ $$a92$$bISE
