In 'Backpack Ambassadors', Richard Ivan Jobs tells the story of backpacking in Europe in its heyday, the decades after World War II, revealing that these footloose young people were doing more than just exploring for themselves. Rather, with each step, each border crossing, each friendship, they were quietly helping knit the continent together. From the Berlin Wall to the beaches of Spain, the Spanish Steps in Rome to the Pudding Shop in Istanbul, Jobs tells the stories of backpackers whose personal desire for freedom of movement brought the people and places of Europe into ever-closer contact. As greater and greater numbers of young people trekked around the continent, and a truly international youth culture began to emerge, the result was a Europe that, even in the midst of Cold War tensions, found its people more and more connected, their lives more and more integrated. Drawing on archival work in eight countries and five languages, and featuring trenchant commentary on the relevance of this period for contemporary concerns about borders and migration, Backpack Ambassadors brilliantly recreates a movement that was far more influential and important than its footsore travelers could ever have realized. 650 0 $a Youth $x History. $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a International travel $z Europe $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Europe $x History $y 1945- 650 7 $a International travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01741797 650 7 $a Youth $x Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183571 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 650 7 $a Jugend $2 gnd 650 7 $a Reise $2 gnd 650 7 $a Rucksacktourismus $2 gnd 650 7 $a IdentitaÂtsfindung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kulturkontakt $2 gnd 651 7 $a Europa $2 gnd 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Europe / General. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a Since 1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021024524.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B5570B6462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
