Recenzii
Winner of the 2021 Norris and Carol Hundley Award of the Pacifc Coast Branch of the American Historical Association
A historical book that hits the nerve of our present. . .Biess casts new light on the history of the Federal Republic. . .and gives back to the Federal Republic its emotional drama.
A fresh view of the history of the Federal Republic. . .and a critical corrective to the existing historiography.
Republik der Angst offers a compelling alternative narrative of West German democratization as a project that succeeded not because its participants were rational liberal subjects, but because they were in touch with their subjective fears. While chronic fear certainly had the potential to cause paralysis, fear also functioned as a warning system for the risks of modernization.
Biess has written an excellent book, which is a welcome addition to the historiography of postwar Germany.
German Angst is ambitious in its scope and its methodology. In the first half, it does what good history should do-it challenges us to reapproach familiar narratives from a different perspective. And in the second half, it offers a stimulating interpretation of the new social movements and our contemporary moment. . .In any case, there can be no doubt that Frank Biess returns contingency and previously sidelined “irrational” forces to the historical narrative as well as offering us a narrative of democracy's fragility befitting the current moment.
It is the kind of book with which historians can teach, offering students a bold, new interpretive framework for understanding postwar German history and the potency of political emotions.
