Opis

This fresh account of new-leftist politics in West Germany after 1968 emphasises how central feelings were, both for leftist critiques of modern capitalism and for their political practices. Joachim C. Haberlen's book is based on close archival research and theoretically informed by recent approaches to the history of emotions.
