Nonconformity, Dissent, Opposition, and Resistance in Germany, 1933-1990: The Freedom to Conform de Sabrina P. Ramet

Nonconformity, Dissent, Opposition, and Resistance in Germany, 1933-1990: The Freedom to Conform

Autor Sabrina P. Ramet
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 oct 2021
“This book brings fresh light to previously marginalized subject in German history. It is an original approach, up-to-date written without scholarly jargon, easily accessible to students, both at undergraduate and graduate. It is highly focused departing from the usual “histories” of a single country arguing for the “two German states”, and the three political systems.”
- Prof. Dr. László Kürti, Institute of Applied Social Sciences, University of Miskolc, Hungary


This book contrasts three very different incarnations of Germany – the totalitarian Third Reich, the communist German Democratic Republic, and the democratic Federal Republic of Germany up to 1990 – in terms of their experiences with and responses to nonconformity, dissent, opposition, and resistance and the role played by those factors in each case.  Although even innocent nonconformity came with a price in all three systems and in the post-war occupation zones, the price was the highest in Nazi Germany.  . It is worth stressing that what qualifies as nonconformity and dissent depends on the social and political context and, thus, changes over time.  Like those in active dissent, opposition, or resistance, nonconformists are rebels (whether they are conscious of it or not), and have repeatedly played a role in pushing for change, whether through reform of legislation, transformation of the public’s attitudes, or even regime change.

Recenzii

“The present book is once again a well-informed monograph, addressing both academics and interested readers. … the monograph is well-structured in short paragraphs, which enables the reader to follow the arguments. Despite various existing literature on the topic … the comparative and objective perspective provides a fresh and enlightening view on the issue. Ramet looks at the existing evidence with a fine eye for detail and its combination, and adds considerable aspects to the existing debate on national identity-building.” (Blaž Vrečko Ilc, Teorija in Praksa, Vol. 58 (3), 2021)

This books argues that nation-building and identity (re)construction in Germany from the Wilhelmine period until the present day has involved debates about and struggles over religion, education, sexuality and the arts, as well as the country's past. Contrasting three very different incarnations of Germany – the totalitarian Third Reich, the communist German Democratic Republic, and the democratic Federal Republic of Germany up to 1990 – this book examines their experiences with and responses to nonconformity, dissent, opposition, and resistance, and the role played by those factors in each case. It is worth stressing that what qualifies as nonconformity and dissent depends on the social and political context and, thus, changes over time.  Like those in active dissent, opposition, or resistance, nonconformists are rebels (whether they are conscious of it or not), and have repeatedly played a role in pushing for change, whether through reform of legislation, transformation of the public’s attitudes, or even regime change.
