  • Pages : 360 pages

Download or read book The Death of the KPD written by Patrick Major and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why was the West German Communist Party banned in 1956, only 11 years after it had emerged from Nazi persecution? Although politically weak, the postwar party was in fact larger than its Weimar predecessor and initially dominated works councils at the Ruhr pits and Hamburg docks, as well asthe steel giant, Krupp. Under the control of East Berlin, however, the KPD was sent off on a series of overambitious and flawed campaigns to promote national unification and prevent West German rearmament. At the same time, the party was steadily criminalized by the Anglo-American occupiers, andostracized by a heavily anti-communist society. Patrick Major has used material available only since the end of the Cold War, from both Communist archives in the former GDR as well as western intelligence, to trace the final decline and fall of the once-powerful KPD.

Book The German Communist Party in Saxony  1924 1933

Download or read book The German Communist Party in Saxony 1924 1933 written by Norman Laporte and published by Peter Lang Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2003 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using newly available documentation, this book addresses the enduring themes in the historiography of the German communist party (KPD). Central to the study is the question to what extent could Moscow dominate the German communist party and movement. By emphasising the specific Saxon context, the KPD's political development is detailed as in fact a tale of two parties: the centralised leadership and organisational structures and the predominantly local influences governing the membership's political orientations. The KPD leadership's drive to create a monolithic Stalinist party in the face of diverse local conditions ultimately burnt out the party's most active members, with devastating impact on political campaigning - above all during the rise of the Nazis. The intensity of the factional feud among ordinary members is explained in terms of how local communists resisted (or supported) the leadership's relatively moderate or sectarian tactics depending on the conditions they experienced at first hand. The book's treatment of political campaigning focuses on the local level, detailing how the leadership's often unrealistic and contradictory objectives limited the KPD's wider influence on the regional political system. Contents: Documentary-based study of the German Communist Party (KPD), with special reference to Saxony - Relationship between the KPD and the Communist International - Stalinisation of German Communism - Communist political campaigning at local level - Local influences on party members' political orientations - Conflicts between the KPD and Social Democracy - Communist response to the rise of the Nazis.

Book  The Artist Operas of Pfitzner  Krenek and Hindemith

Download or read book The Artist Operas of Pfitzner Krenek and Hindemith written by Claire Taylor-Jay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of the genre of 'artist-opera', in which the work's central character is an artist who is uncomfortable with his place in the world. It investigates how three such operas (Pfitzner's Palestrina (1915), Krenek's Jonny spielt auf (1926) and Hindemith's Mathis der Maler (1935)) contributed to the debate in early twentieth-century Germany about the place of art and the artist in modern society, and examines how far the artist-character may be taken as functioning as a persona for the real composer of the work. Because of their concern with the place of art within society, the works are also engaged with inherently political questions, and each opera is read in the light of the political context of its time: conservatism circa World War I, Americanism and democracy, and the rise of National Socialism.

Book West Germany and the Global Sixties

Download or read book West Germany and the Global Sixties written by Timothy Scott Brown and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anti-authoritarian revolt of the 1960s and 1970s was a watershed in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The rebellion of the so-called '68ers' - against cultural conformity and the ideological imperatives of the Cold War, against the American war in Vietnam, and in favor of a more open accounting for the crimes of the Nazi era - helped to inspire a dialogue on democratization with profound effects on German society. Timothy Scott Brown examines the unique synthesis of globalizing influences on West Germany to reveal how the presence of Third World students, imported pop culture from America and England, and the influence of new political doctrines worldwide all helped to precipitate the revolt. The book explains how the events in West Germany grew out of a new interplay of radical politics and popular culture, even as they drew on principles of direct-democracy, self-organization and self-determination, all still highly relevant in the present day.

Book Rebuilding Germany

    Book Details:
  • Author : James C. Van Hook
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2004-05-10
  • ISBN : 1139452193
  • Pages : 330 pages

Download or read book Rebuilding Germany written by James C. Van Hook and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-10 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social market economy has served as a fundamental pillar of post-war Germany. Today, it is associated with the European welfare state. Initially, it meant the opposite. Rebuilding Germany examines the 1948 West German economic reforms that dismantled the Nazi command economy and ushered in the fabled 'European Miracle' of the 1950s. Van Hook evaluates the US role in German reconstruction, the problematic relationship of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his economics minister, Ludwig Erhard, the West German 'economic miracle', and the extent to which the social market economy represented a departure from the German past. In a nuanced and fresh account, Van Hook evaluates the American role in West German recovery and the debates about economic policy within West Germany, to show that Germans themselves had surprising room to shape their economic and industrial system.
