Opis

Eliza Ablovatksi offers an innovative comparative and transnational study of revolution and counterrevolution in Central Europe in 1919. She employs the experiences of Munich and Budapest to analyze how revolutionary scripts and narratives, framed by antisemitism and gender stereotypes, shaped political events and violence.

Recenzje

'Enlisting a wide array of sources - including the press, novels, trial records, and memoirs - in the service of an elegantly written analysis, Revolution and Political Violence positions the short-lived soviet republics in Hungary and Bavaria within the wider post-1918 narrative of world revolution … the book demonstrates the value gendered approaches lend to our understanding of this tumultuous era and opens up new avenues of inquiry to scholars of the long World War I era in central and eastern Europe.' Emily R. Gioielli, American History Yearbook
