For a course on Europe since 1939, have you considered Jane Kramer's
*Unsettling Europe*? It does a great job of using life stories to
explore issues related to the breakup of colonial empires,
multiculturalism in European societies, and the changes in labor
markets that were sending guest workers north in the 1960s and 1970s.
I've used it for a course called "The Contemporary World," and
students have enjoyed it. I fear it may soon be dated, but it isn't
quite yet.
