بین اصلاح و انقلاب: سوسیالیسم و کمونیسم آلمان از ۱۸۴۰ تا ۱۹۹۰

"The powerful impact of Socialism and Communism on modern German history is the theme which is explored by the contributors to this volume. Whereas previous investigations have tended to focus on political, intellectual and biographical aspects, this book captures, for the first time, the methodological and thematic diversity and richness of current work on the history of the German working class and the political movements that emerged from it. Based on original contributions from U.S., British, and German scholars, this collection address a wide range of themes and problems."-- Provided by publisher CONTENTS LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS INTRODUCTION Chapter 1 Diagnosing the “German Misery”: Radicalism and the Problem of National Character, 1830 to 1848 Chapter 2 Working-Class Politics at the Crossroads of Conservatism, Liberalism, and Socialism Chapter 3 The Lassallean Labor Movement in Germany: Organization, Social Structure, and Associational Life in the 1860s Chapter 4 Bürger and Workers: Liberalism and the Labor Movement in Germany, 1848 to 1914 Chapter 5 “Genossen und Genossinnen”: Depictions of Gender, Militancy, and Organizing in the German Socialist Press, 1890-1914 Chapter 6 The Social Democratic Electorate in Imperial Germany Chapter 7 Latent Reformism and Socialist Utopia: The SPD in Göttingen, 1890 to 1920 Chapter 8 A Social Republic?
