Exemplary of this volatile dynamic was the era\u2019s burgeoning motorcycle culture. With automobiles largely a luxury of the upper classes, motorcycles complexly symbolized masculinity and freedom, embodying a widespread desire to embrace progress as well as profound anxieties over the course of social transformation. Through its richly textured account of the motorcycle as both icon and commodity, The Devil\u2019s Wheels teases out the intricacies of gender and class in the Weimar years.<\/p>\n Read Introduction: Does the man make the motorcycle or the motorcycle the man?<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although studies of fascism have constituted one of the most fertile areas of historical inquiry in recent decades, more and more scholars have called for a new agenda with more research beyond Italy and Germany, less preoccupation with definition and classification, and more sustained focus on the relationships among different fascist formations before 1945. Starting from a critical assessment of these imperatives, this rigorous volume charts a historiographical path that transcends rigid distinctions while still developing meaningful criteria of differentiation. Even as we take fascism seriously as a political phenomenon, such an approach allows us to better understand its distinctive contradictions and historical variations.<\/p>\n Read Preface<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bringing together leading scholars from a range of nations, Rethinking Antifascism provides a fascinating exploration of one of the most vibrant sub-disciplines within recent historiography. Through case studies that exemplify the field\u2019s breadth and sophistication, it examines antifascism in two distinct realms: after surveying the movement\u2019s remarkable diversity across nations and political cultures up to 1945, the volume assesses its postwar political and ideological salience, from its incorporation into Soviet state doctrine to its radical questioning by historians and politicians. Avoiding both heroic narratives and reflexive revisionism, these contributions offer nuanced perspectives on a movement that helped to shape the postwar world.<\/p>\n Read Introduction: Beyond Revisionism: Rethinking Antifascism in the Twenty-First Century<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 37, Monographs in German History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Politically adrift, alienated from Weimar society, and fearful of competition from industrial elites and the working class alike, the independent artisans of interwar Germany were a particularly receptive audience for National Socialist ideology. As Hitler consolidated power, they emerged as an important Nazi constituency, drawn by the party\u2019s rejection of both capitalism and Bolshevism. Yet, in the years after 1945, the artisan class became one of the pillars of postwar stability, thoroughly integrated into German society. From Craftsmen to Capitalists gives the first account of this astonishing transformation, exploring how skilled tradesmen recast their historical traditions and forged alliances with former antagonists to help realize German democratization and recovery.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of the many medical specializations to transform themselves during the rise of National Socialism, anatomy has received relatively little attention from historians. While politics and racial laws drove many anatomists from the profession, most who remained joined the Nazi party, and some helped to develop the scientific basis for its racialist dogma. As historian and anatomist Sabine Hildebrandt reveals, however, their complicity with the Nazi state went beyond the merely ideological. They progressed through gradual stages of ethical transgression, turning increasingly to victims of the regime for body procurement, as the traditional model of working with bodies of the deceased gave way, in some cases, to a new paradigm of experimentation with the \u201cfuture dead.\u201d<\/p>\n Read Introduction\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the lean and anxious years following World War II, Munich society became obsessed with the moral condition of its youth. Initially born of the economic and social disruption of the war years, a preoccupation with juvenile delinquency progressed into a full-blown panic over the hypothetical threat that young men and women posed to postwar stability. As Martin Kalb shows in this fascinating study, constructs like the rowdy young boy and the sexually deviant girl served as proxies for the diffuse fears of adult society, while allowing authorities ranging from local institutions to the U.S. military government to strengthen forms of social control.<\/p>\n Read Introduction<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 19, Protest, Culture & Society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 1983, more than one million Germans joined together to protest NATO\u2019s deployment of nuclear missiles in Europe. International media overflowed with images of marches, rallies, and human chains as protesters blockaded depots and agitated for disarmament. Though they failed to halt the deployment, the episode was a decisive one for German society, revealing deep divisions in the nation\u2019s political culture while continuing to mobilize activists. This volume provides a comprehensive reference work on the \u201cEuromissiles\u201d crisis as experienced by its various protagonists, analyzing NATO\u2019s diplomatic and military maneuvering and tracing the political, cultural, and moral discourses that surrounded the missiles\u2019 deployment in East and West Germany.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 15, Protest, Culture & Society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In keeping with the tenets of socialist internationalism, the political culture of the German Democratic Republic strongly emphasized solidarity with the non-white world: children sent telegrams to Angela Davis in prison, workers made contributions from their wages to relief efforts in Vietnam and Angola, and the deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Ho Chi Minh, and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired public memorials. Despite their prominence, however, scholars have rarely examined such displays in detail. Through a series of illuminating historical investigations, this volume deploys archival research, ethnography, and a variety of other interdisciplinary tools to explore the rhetoric and reality of East German internationalism.<\/p>\n Read Introduction<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 19, Austrian and Habsburg Studies<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Austrian Empire was not a colonial power in the sense that fellow actors like 19th-century England and France were. It nevertheless oversaw a multinational federation where the capital of Vienna was unmistakably linked with its eastern periphery in a quasi-colonial arrangement that inevitably shaped the cultural and intellectual life of the Habsburg Empire. This was particularly evident in the era\u2019s colonial utopian writing, and Tropics of Vienna<\/em> blends literary criticism, cultural theory, and historical analysis to illuminate this curious genre. By analyzing the works of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Theodor Herzl, Joseph Roth, and other representative Austrian writers, it reveals a shared longing for alternative social and spatial configurations beyond the concept of the \u201cnation-state\u201d prevalent at the time.<\/p>\n Read Introdcution<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 9, Environment in History: International Perspectives<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today, the East African state of Tanzania is renowned for wildlife preserves such as the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Selous Game Reserve. Yet few know that most of these initiatives emerged from decades of German colonial rule. This book gives the first full account of Tanzanian wildlife conservation up until World War I, focusing upon elephant hunting and the ivory trade as vital factors in a shift from exploitation to preservation that increasingly excluded indigenous Africans. Analyzing the formative interactions between colonial governance and the natural world, The Nature of German Imperialism situates East African wildlife policies within the global emergence of conservationist sensibilities around 1900.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction: Doorsteps in Paradise<\/a><\/p>\n NEW IN PAPERBACK<\/strong><\/p>\n RE-IMAGINING DEFA<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cLooking back from what is now 25 years after reunification, this fine and original collection of essays represents a new phase in scholarship on East German films and filmmakers, one that builds on the achievements of past research while asking valuable new questions.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Brad Prager<\/strong>, University of Missouri<\/p>\n By the time the Berlin Wall collapsed, the cinema of the German Democratic Republic\u2014to the extent it was considered at all\u2014was widely regarded as a footnote to European film history, with little of enduring value. Since then, interest in East German cinema has exploded, inspiring innumerable festivals, books, and exhibits on the GDR\u2019s rich and varied filmic output. In Re-Imagining DEFA, leading international experts take stock of this vibrant landscape and plot an ambitious course for future research, one that considers other cinematic traditions, brings genre and popular works into the fold, and encompasses DEFA\u2019s complex post-unification \u201cafterlife.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 15, Studies in German History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIn this exciting volume, Honeck, Klimke, and Kuhlmann put forward a unique resource for the burgeoning study of the African diaspora in Germany. Comprising essaysf rom scholars working in a variety of fields, the collection fills significant gaps in the current scholarship… In detailing a phenomenon long ignored within mainstream German culture and history, this collection will be of use to a variety of readers, including those working in African and African American studies, art history, German studies, and history\u2026Highly recommended.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n his volume presents intersections of Black and German history over eight centuries while mapping continuities and ruptures in Germans’ perceptions of Blacks. Juxtaposing these intersections demonstrates that negative German perceptions of Blackness proceeded from nineteenth-century racial theories, and that earlier constructions of \u201crace\u201d were far more differentiated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 17, Austrian and Habsburg Studies<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cConceptually complicated and with wide-ranging empirical investigations, this volume is most likely to appeal to readers with some prior exposure to Central European history and theoretical approaches to nationalism. They will find in it plentiful food for thought.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 The American Historical Review<\/strong><\/p>\n The essays in this collection offer a nuanced analysis of the multifaceted cultural experience of Central Europe under the late Habsburg monarchy and beyond. The authors examine how culturally coded social spaces can be described and understood historically without adopting categories formerly employed to justify the definition and separation of groups into nations, ethnicities, or homogeneous cultures.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cKlautke charts the historical and systematic differences between the concepts of V\u00f6lkerpsychologie over a century in a book of fewer than 200 pages. Readers will consult with profit this short, but important history of ideas, science, and culture, which deals with the arguments and topics relating to V\u00f6lkerpsychologie.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 German Historical Institute London Bulletin<\/strong><\/p>\n This book follows the invention of the discipline in the nineteenth century, its rise around the turn of the century and its ultimate demise after the Second World War. In addition, it shows that despite the repudiation of \u201cfolk psychology\u201d and its failed institutionalization, the discipline remains relevant as a precursor of contemporary studies of \u201cnational identity.\u201d<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction: <\/strong>V\u00f6lkerpsychologie<\/em> in Germany<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBailey’s approach adds a thorough analysis of journals, clubs, and organizations that functioned as important intermediaries between the private and public spheres\u2026his refreshing, well-written, and convincingly argued intellectual history complements traditional historiography.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n An intellectual and cultural history of mid-twentieth century plans for European integration, this book calls into question the usual pre- and post-war periodizations that have structured approaches to twentieth-century European history. It focuses not simply on the ideas of leading politicians but analyses debates about Europe in \u201ccivil society\u201d and the party-political sphere in Germany, asking if, and how, a \u201cpermissive consensus\u201d was formed around the issue of integration. Taking Germany as its case study, the book offers context to the post-war debates, analysing the continuities that existed between interwar and post-war plans for European integration. It draws attention to the abiding scepticism of democracy displayed by many advocates of integration, indeed suggesting that groups across the ideological spectrum converged around support for European integration as a way of constraining the practice of democracy within nation-states.<\/p>\n Read Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 28, Monographs in German History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBrown\u2019s [innovative study] makes a vital contribution to an understanding of the Weimar Republic as a set of competing political stages, where radicalism was not the direct result of social or economic circumstances, but part and parcel of a deliberate dramatization of political speech.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 German History<\/strong><\/p>\n Exploring the gray zone of infiltration and subversion in which the Nazi and Communist parties sought to influence and undermine each other, this book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between two defining ideologies of the twentieth century. The struggle between Fascism and Communism is situated within a broader conversation among right- and left-wing publicists, across the Youth Movement and in the \u201cNational Bolshevik\u201d scene, thus revealing the existence of a discourse on revolutionary legitimacy fought according to a set of common assumptions about the qualities of the ideal revolutionary. Highlighting the importance of a masculine-militarist politics of youth revolt operative in both Marxist and anti-Marxist guises, Weimar Radicals forces us to re-think the fateful relationship between the two great ideological competitors of the Weimar Republic, while offering a challenging new interpretation of the distinctive radicalism of the interwar era.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Chapter 1.<\/strong> The revolt of the masses: Populist radicalism and the discontents of modernity<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe essays, exceptionally readable throughout, enrich the contemporary debate through numerous new facets and questions. In contrast to other edited volumes, the contributions here are all based on rich source material, which results in a book that is interesting for the general historian as well as for the specialist.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 H-Soz-u-Kult<\/strong><\/p>\n Significant recent research on the German Right between 1918 and 1933 calls into question received narratives of Weimar political history. The German Right in the Weimar Republic<\/em> examines the role that the German Right played in the destabilization and overthrow of the Weimar Republic, with particular emphasis on the political and organizational history of Rightist groups as well as on the many permutations of right-wing ideology during the period. In particular, antisemitism and the so-called \u201cJewish Question\u201d played a prominent role in the self-definition and politics of the right-wing groups and ideologies explored by the contributors to this volume.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check out Nicholas Chare and Dominic Williams\u2019s piece on Slate\u2019s The Vault<\/a> and also Searching for Feelings: The Scrolls of Auschwitz and Son of Saul <\/a>on the Berghahn Blog.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a major book that changes the field. It is a brilliant and original work of superb historical research and profoundly affecting cultural analysis.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Griselda Pollock<\/strong>, University of Leeds<\/p>\n In 1944, members of the Sonderkommando\u2014the \u201cspecial squads,\u201d composed almost exclusively of Jewish prisoners, who ensured the smooth operation of the gas chambers and had firsthand knowledge of the extermination process\u2014buried on the grounds of Auschwitz-Birkenau a series of remarkable eyewitness accounts of Nazi genocide. This careful and penetrating study examines anew these \u201cScrolls of Auschwitz,\u201d which were gradually recovered, in damaged and fragmentary form, in the years following the camp\u2019s liberation. It painstakingly reconstructs their historical context and textual content, revealing complex literary works that resist narrow moral judgment and engage difficult questions about the limits of testimony.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction:<\/strong> Matters of Testimony<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 19, Making Sense of History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIn the new history, research has been redirected from the perpetrator to the victims, and the goal is to find the authentic Jewish voice. As a consequence, personal diaries, note books, and memoirs have gained a status that traditional historians have not previously imparted to them. Good index and select bibliography. Highly Recommended.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n For many years, histories of the Holocaust focused on its perpetrators, and only recently have more scholars begun to consider in detail the experiences of victims and survivors, as well as the documents they left behind. This volume contains new research from internationally established scholars. It provides an introduction to and overview of Jewish narratives of the Holocaust. The essays include new considerations of sources ranging from diaries and oral testimony to the hidden Oyneg Shabbes archive of the Warsaw Ghetto; arguments regarding Jewish narratives and how they fit into the larger fields of Holocaust and Genocide studies; and new assessments of Jewish responses to mass murder ranging from ghetto leadership to resistance and memory.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c[This book] is more than simply a medical story. It is one of the most heroic and moving accounts of the Holocaust this reviewer has ever read.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Jewish Book Council Review<\/strong><\/p>\n Faced with infectious diseases, starvation, lack of medicines, lack of clean water, and safe sewage, Jewish physicians practiced medicine under severe conditions in the ghettos and concentration camps of the Holocaust. Despite the odds against them, physicians managed to supply public health education, enforce hygiene protocols, inspect buildings and latrines, enact quarantine, and perform triage. Many gave their lives to help fellow prisoners. Based on archival materials and featuring memoirs of Holocaust survivors, this volume offers a rich array of both tragic and inspiring studies of the sanctification of life as practiced by Jewish medical professionals. More than simply a medical story, these histories represent the finest exemplification of a humanist moral imperative during a dark hour of recent history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cOne of the more remarkable things about Meyer\u2019s study is her almost total lack of criticism of the various Jewish leaders in the RJD and the RR.\u2026 Meyer sees the work of the RJD and the RR in a very different light. She argues that these Jewish leaders worked continuously through various phases of Nazi Germany\u2019s ever-changing policies on the \u201cJewish Question\u201d to find ways to ameliorate such policies\u2026a masterful study of a phase of the Shoah that needs further exploration.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Holocaust and Genocide Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1939 all German Jews had to become members of a newly founded Reich Association. The Jewish functionaries of this organization were faced with circumstances and events that forced them to walk a fine line between responsible action and collaboration. They had hoped to support mass emigration, mitigate the consequences of the anti-Jewish measures, and take care of the remaining community. When the Nazis forbade emigration and started mass deportations in 1941, the functionaries decided to cooperate to prevent the \u201cworst.\u201d In choosing to cooperate, they came into direct opposition with the interests of their members, who were then deported. In June 1943 all unprotected Jews were deported along with their representatives, and the so-called intermediaries supplied the rest of the community, which consisted of Jews living in mixed marriages. The study deals with the tasks of these men, the fate of the Jews in mixed marriages, and what happened to the survivors after the war.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c\u2026an important [book], overflowing with worthwhile ideas and based upon good reading and research\u2026 Curthoys\u2019 main theme is succinctly expressed and painfully relevant.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 European Judaism<\/strong><\/p>\n Comparing the liberal Jewish ethics of the German-Jewish philosophers Ernst Cassirer and Hannah Arendt, this book argues that both espoused a diasporic, worldly conception of Jewish identity that was anchored in a pluralist and politically engaged interpretation of Jewish history and an abiding interest in the complex lived reality of modern Jews. Arendt\u2019s indebtedness to liberal Jewish thinkers such as Moses Mendelssohn, Abraham Geiger, Hermann Cohen, and Ernst Cassirer has been obscured by her modernist posture and caustic critique of the assimilationism of her German-Jewish forebears. By reorienting our conception of Arendt as a profoundly secular thinker anchored in twentieth century political debates, we are led to rethink the philosophical, political, and ethical legacy of liberal Jewish discourse.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Spektrum<\/em> Series: Publications of the German Studies Association<\/a><\/p>\n Published under the auspices of the German Studies Association<\/a>, Spektrum<\/em> offers current perspectives on culture, society, and political life in the German-speaking lands of central Europe\u2014Austria, Switzerland, and the Federal Republic\u2014from the late Middle Ages to the present day. Its titles and themes reflect the composition of the GSA and the work of its members within and across the disciplines to which they belong\u2014literary criticism, history, cultural studies, political science, and anthropology.<\/p>\n RELUCTANT SKEPTIC<\/a> <\/p>\n The journalist and critic Siegfried Kracauer is best remembered today for his investigations of film and other popular media, and for his seminal influence on Frankfurt School thinkers like Theodor Adorno. Less well known is his earlier work, which offered a seismographic reading of cultural fault lines in Weimar-era Germany, with an eye to the confrontation between religious revival and secular modernity. In this discerning study, historian Harry T. Craver reconstructs and richly contextualizes Kracauer\u2019s early output, showing how he embodied the contradictions of modernity and identified the quasi-theological impulses underlying the cultural ferment on the 1920s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MIGRATIONS IN THE GERMAN LANDS, 1500-2000<\/a> <\/p>\n Migration to, from, and within German-speaking lands has been a dynamic force in Central European history for centuries. Exemplifying some of the most exciting recent research on historical mobility, the essays collected here reconstruct the experiences of vagrants, laborers, religious exiles, refugees, and other migrants during the last five hundred years of German history. With diverse contributions ranging from early modern martyrdom to post\u2013Cold War commemoration efforts, this volume identifies revealing commonalities shared by different eras while also placing the German case within the broader contexts of European and global migration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE TOTAL WORK OF ART<\/a> <\/p>\n For two centuries, Gesamtkunstwerk<\/em>\u2014the ideal of the \u201ctotal work of art\u201d\u2014has exerted a powerful influence over artistic discourse and practice, spurring new forms of collaboration and provoking debates over the political instrumentalization of art. Despite its popular conflation with the work of Richard Wagner, Gesamtkunstwerk\u2019s<\/em> lineage and legacies extend well beyond German Romanticism, as this wide-ranging collection demonstrates. In eleven compact chapters, scholars from a variety of disciplines trace the idea\u2019s evolution in German-speaking Europe, from its foundations in the early nineteenth century to its manifold articulations and reimaginings in the twentieth century and beyond, providing an uncommonly broad perspective on a distinctly modern cultural form.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE DEVIL’S RICHES<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201c\u2026a thought-provoking study of a subject that is too often taken for granted, rather than subjected to critical examination.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Financial Times<\/strong><\/p>\n A seeming constant in the history of capitalism, greed has nonetheless undergone considerable transformations over the last five hundred years. This multilayered account offers a fresh take on an old topic, arguing that greed was experienced as a moral phenomenon and deployed to make sense of an unjust world. Focusing specifically on the interrelated themes of religion, economics, and health\u2014each of which sought to study and channel the power of financial desire\u2014Jared Poley shows how evolving ideas about greed became formative elements of the modern experience.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE EMPEROR’S OLD CLOTHES<\/a> <\/p>\n For many years, scholars struggled to write the history of the constitution and political structure of the Holy Roman Empire. This book argues that this was because the political and social order could not be understood without considering the rituals and symbols that held the Empire together. What determined the rules (and whether they were followed) depended on complex symbolic-ritual actions. By examining key moments in the political history of the Empire, the author shows that it was a vocabulary of symbols, not the actual written laws, that formed a political language indispensable in maintaining the common order.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n For a full list of titles in the series please visit the series webpage<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n BERGHAHN JOURNALS<\/strong> Aspasia is the international peer-reviewed annual of women’s and gender history of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe (CESEE).
