Live Working or Die Fighting
Globalisation has created a whole new working class - and they are reliving stories that were first played out a century ago. In Live Working or Die Fighting, Paul Mason tells the story of this new working class alongside the epic history of the global labour movement, from its formation in the factories of the 1800s through its near destruction by fascism in the 1930s and up to today's anti-globalisation movement. Blending exhilarating historical narrative with reportage from today's front line, he links the lives of 19th-century factory girls with the lives of teenagers in a giant Chinese mobile phone factory; he tells the story of how mass trade unions were born in London's Docklands - an...
Opposing Fascism
This innovative volume draws together a series of perspectives on the everyday experience of Europeans in the 'age of fascism'. The contributions go beyond the conventional stereotypes of organized resistance to examine the tensions and ambiguities within the communities, both national and local, that opposed fascism. The authors show that under the pressures of civil conflict, occupation, and even everyday life, motives were rarely as pure and political alignments seldom as straightforward as our reassuring collective memories of fascism and war have led us to believe. The combination of original research and engagement with relevant debates makes this collection invaluable both for researchers in the social and political history of World War II and for students of modern European history.
Circles of Resistance
Circles of Resistance: Jewish, Leftist, and Youth Dissidence in Nazi Germany analyzes resistance networks of young German Jews and other young dissidents during the Nazi dictatorship. Young German-Jewish radicals created an intellectually and politically vibrant subculture in Berlin, the geographical focus of this study. The youths analyzed here were reacting not only to Nazi oppression: they were also driven to develop new modes of action and politics by their estrangement not only from German society, but also from the traditional left parties and their post-1933 underground organizations, and even from large segments of Berlin's Jewish community, where radical activism was often regarded ...
Youth in the Fatherless Land
The first comprehensive history of German youth in the First World War, this book investigates the dawn of the great era of mobilizing teenagers and schoolchildren for experiments in state-building and extreme political movements like fascism and communism. It investigates how German teachers could be legendary for their sarcasm and harsh methods but support the world’s most vigorous school reform movement and most extensive network of youth clubs. As a result of the war mobilization, teachers, club leaders, and authors of youth literature instilled militarism and nationalism more deeply into young people than before 1914 but in a way that, paradoxically, relaxed discipline. In Youth in th...
Das Ende der DDR
Die Dokumente, die in diesem Buch gesammelt sind, entstanden im Feuer der Ereignisse – von den Massendemonstrationen in der DDR 1989 bis zur Wiedervereinigung im Herbst 1990. Es sind Leitartikel, Kommentare, programmatische Erklärungen und Reportagen aus der Neuen Arbeiterpresse, der Zeitung des Bunds Sozialistischer Arbeiter, der deutschen Sektion der Vierten Internationale. Zusammengenommen ergibt diese Sammlung eine detaillierte Autopsie des Zusammenbruchs der DDR – seiner historischen Ursachen, seiner internationalen Hintergründe, der handelnden politischen Parteien und Tendenzen, gesellschaftlichen Klassen, Schichten und Personen und der aufeinander prallenden Interessen. Eingeleitet wird der Band mit einem ausführlichen Vorwort von Peter Schwarz über die Rolle des Stalinismus in Deutschland. Der Bund Sozialistischer Arbeiter hat sich in Sozialistische Gleichheitspartei (SGP) umbenannt.
