Power and Society in the Gdr, 1961-1979: The 'Normalisation of Rule'?
ISBN: 9781845454357 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The communist German Democratic Republic, founded in 1949 in the Soviet-occupied zone of post-war Germany is, for many people, epitomized by the Berlin Wall; Soviet tanks and surveillance by the secret security police, the Stasi, appear to be central. But is this really all there is to the GDRs history? How did people come to terms with their situation and make new lives behind the Wall? When the social history of the GDR in the 1960s and 1970s is explored, new patterns become evident. A fragile stability emerged in a period characterized by 'consumer socialism', international recognition...

Europe Since 1945
ISBN: 9780198731788 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mary Fulbrook's Introduction to this splendid concluding volume in The Short Oxford History of Europe begins with a vivid contrast, setting the struggle for survival in a devastated rubble-strewn street of East Berlin in 1945 against the same location in the reunited city at the end of the century, unrecognizable in its gleaming, confident, cosmopolitan affluence. The book brings home the extraordinary waves of transformation that have washed across Europe in the second half of the twentieth century, sketching out the major general patterns of this change, and exploring some of the local...

Historical Theory
ISBN: 9780415179874 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Writing history involves selection, imagination, creativity. What then is left of notions of objectivity? Is history really nothing but fiction masquerading as fact? Practising historians claim that their accounts of the past are something other than fiction, myth or propaganda. Yet there are significant challenges to this view. Different theoretical approaches provide competing explanations and interpretations; historical controversies are often closely connected with political commitments; and postmodernists have queried whether there is indeed any means of accessing and recounting the past...

Dissonant Lives: Generations and Violence Through the German Dictatorships
ISBN: 9780199287208 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Dissonant Lives is not a standard 'history of Germany' in the twentieth century, or even of the German dictatorships. It is concerned with the ways in which Germans of different ages and life stages lived through this terrible period in German history, and how they interpreted, confronted, and responded to the multiple challenges of their times. In volume two, Mary Fulbrook explores the move from the Nazi dictatorship to the communism that succeeded it, examining the experiences and perceptions of selected individuals, and how major historical events affected the course of their...

Piety and Politics: Religion and the Rise of Absolutism in England, Wurttemberg and Prussia
ISBN: 9780521276337 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the context of continuing debates over Protestantism, capitalism and the absolutist state, this book presents a fresh historical and theoretical analysis of religion and politics in early modern Europe. The author undertakes a systematic comparative-historical analysis of the very different contributions made by the Puritan and Pietist movements to the success or failure of absolutist rule in England, Wurttemberg and Prussia. While Puritans and Pietists shared similar religious ideas, aspirations and ethos, they developed quite different political attitudes and alliances in each case....

Becoming East German: Socialist Structures and Sensibilities After Hitler
ISBN: 9780857459749 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For roughly the first decade after the demise of the GDR, professional and popular interpretations of East German history concentrated primarily on forms of power and repression, as well as on dissent and resistance to communist rule. Socio-cultural approaches have increasingly shown that a single-minded emphasis on repression and coercion fails to address a number of important historical issues, including those related to the subjective experiences of those who lived under communist regimes. With that in mind, the essays in this volume explore significant physical and psychological...

People's State: East German Society from Hitler to Honecker
ISBN: 9780300144246 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What was life really like for East Germans, effectively imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain? The headline stories of Cold War spies and surveillance by the secret police, of political repression and corruption, do not tell the whole story. After the unification of Germany in 1990 many East Germans remembered their lives as interesting, varied, and full of educational, career and leisure opportunities: in many ways perfectly ordinary lives. Using the rich resources of the newly-opened GDR archives, Mary Fulbrook investigates these conflicting narratives. She explores the transformation of East...

Interpretations of the Two Germanies, 1945-1990
ISBN: 9780333665794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The two Germanies, arising from the unpromising ashes of defeated Nazi Germany, came to represent opposing models of state and society. The Federal Republic established itself as a remarkably stable democracy and successful social market economy: the German Democratic Republic developed an apparently exemplary form of 'actually existing socialism' and became a pillar of the Soviet bloc. Then in 1989, the 'gentle revolution' in East Germany added a new twist with the collapse of Communist rule. With rapid reunification, the united Germany of 1990 faced new challenges as the unprecedented...

Anatomy of a Dictatorship: Inside the Gdr 1949-1989
ISBN: 9780198207207 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Founded on the ruins of Hitler's defeated Third Reich, and lacking any intrinsic legitimacy, the German Democratic Republic nevertheless became the most stable and successful state in the Soviet bloc. Yet in the "gentle revolution" of 1989 it collapsed with startling speed. How can this extraordinary story of political stability followed by sudden implosion be explained?
With the opening of the East German archives, it is at last possible to look inside the apparently impregnable dictatorship. Mary Fulbrook provides a compelling interpretation of structures of power and patterns of...

German National Identity After the Holocaust
ISBN: 9780745610450 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For over half a century, Germans have lived in the shadow of Auschwitz. Who was responsible for the mass murder of millions of people in the Holocaust: just a small gang of evil men, Hitler and his henchmen; or certain groups within a particular system; or even the whole nation? Could the roots of malignancy be traced far back in German history? Or did the Holocaust have more to do with European modernity? Should Germans live with a legacy of guilt forever? And how, if at all, could an acceptable German national identity be defined?
These questions dogged public debates in... For over half a century, Germans have lived in the shadow of Auschwitz. Who was responsible for the mass murder of millions of people in the Holocaust...

A Small Town Near Auschwitz: Ordinary Nazis and the Holocaust
ISBN: 9780199679256 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Silesian town of Bedzin lies a mere twenty-five miles from Auschwitz; through the linked ghettos of Bedzin and its neighbouring town, some 85,000 Jews passed on their way to slave labour or the gas chambers.
The principal civilian administrator of Bedzin, Udo Klausa, was a happily married family man. He was also responsible for implementing Nazi policies towards the Jews in his area - inhumane processes that were the precursors of genocide. Yet he later claimed, like so many other Germans after the war, that he had 'known nothing about it'; and that he had personally tried to save a...

Un-Civilizing Processes? : Excess and Transgression in German Society and Culture: Perspectives Debating with Norbert Elias
ISBN: 9789042021518 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The collapse of the supposedly 'civilized' German nation into the 'barbarism' of Hitler's Third Reich has cast a long shadow over interpretations of German culture and society. In the remarkable work of Norbert Elias, himself a refugee from Nazi Germany, a deep concern with the distinctiveness of 'the Germans' is linked with an ambitious attempt to work out more general relations between broad historical processes - patterns of state formation, changing social structures - and the character of the individual self, as evidenced in changing thresholds of shame and embarrassment. In critical...
