Content:
During the last four decades the German Revolution 1918/19 has only attracted little scholarly attention. This volume offers new cultural historical perspectives, puts this revolution into a wider time frame (1916-23), and coheres around three interlinked propositions: (i) acknowledging that during its initial stage the German Revolution reflected an intense social and political challenge to state authority and its monopoly of physical violence, (ii) it was also replete with »Angst«-ridden wrangling over its longer-term meaning and direction, and (iii) was characterized by competing social movements that tried to cultivate citizenship in a new, unknown state.

»Insgesamt leistet der Sammelband durch seinen zeitlichen, geographischen und thematischen Neuansatz einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einem neuen, vertieften Verständnis der Revolution von 1918/19.« Volker Stalmann, Historische Zeitschrift, 304 (2017) Lesenswert bereitet [der Band] auf die in den nächsten Jahren wohl kommenden Forschungen und Publikationen vor, indem er die deutsche Revolution gleichzeitig entprovinzialisiert [...] und reprovinzialisiert.« Thomas Blanck, H-Soz-u-Kult, 21.02.2017 Besprochen in: Critique, 43 (2015), Thomas Klinkauer Arbeit - Bewegung - Geschichte.
