Marxist historiography in transformation

Více o knize

Even before the revolution in 1989, East German historians had moved away from purely Marxist conceptions of economic and social conflict and started to explore methods and approaches ranging from empirical, sociological and demographic analysis to the study of mentalities and popular culture akin to those pursued in the West, thus initiating an active dialogue between historians in East and West. This volume presents important contributions by some of the leading East German social historians in English.
