Its political and cultural lessons retain uncanny relevance for all who seek to understand the tensions and possibilities of our age. The Weimar Republic Sourcebook represents the most comprehensive documentation of Weimar culture  history  and politics assembled in any language. It invites a wide community of readers to discover the richness and complexity of the turbulent years in Germany before Hitlers rise to power.  Drawing from such primary sources as magazines  newspapers  manifestoes  and official documents (many unknown even to specialists and most never before available in English)  this book challenges the traditional boundaries between politics  culture  and social life. Its thirty chapters explore Germanys complex relationship to democracy  ideologies of \"reactionary modernism \" the rise of the \"New Woman \" Bauhaus architecture  the impact of mass media  the literary life  the tradition of cabaret and urban entertainment  and the situation of Jews  intellectuals  and workers before and during the emergence of fascism.  While devoting much attention to the Republics varied artistic and intellectual achievements (the Frankfurt School  political theater  twelve-tone music  cultural criticism  photomontage  and urban planning)  the book is unique for its inclusion of many lesser-known materials on popular culture  consumerism  body culture  drugs  criminality  and sexuality; it also contains a timetable of major political events  an extensive bibliography  and capsule biographies. This will be a major resource and reference work for students and scholars in history; art; architecture; literature; social and political thought; and cultural  film  German  and womens studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946095800373,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520067754","price":40.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520067752.jpg?v=1769923584","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-weimar-republic-sourcebook-volume-3","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
