| Publisher Description: Scholars have paid little attention to the last four decades of the German Revolution. This volume offers new cultural-historical perspectives by placing the revolution within a larger timeframe (1916-1923) and cohering around three propositions: acknowledging that during its initial stage the German Revolution reflected an intense social and political challenge to state authority and its monopoly over physical violence; the revolutiuon was also replete with Angst-ridden wrangling over its long-term meaning and direction; and the struggle was characterized by competing social movements that tried to cultivate citizenship in a new, unknown state. |
