Social Democracy and Society

Více o knize

Focusing on the origins of working-class radicalism in Imperial Germany, this study delves into the Dusseldorf Social Democratic Party's leftist stance and its rejection of bourgeois cooperation. Professor Nolan highlights the diverse backgrounds of the working class, including young, skilled, and migrant workers, and their struggle against a political landscape lacking reformist avenues. The book uniquely explores the interplay between the socialist labor movement and the Catholic culture in a predominantly Catholic urban area, offering fresh insights into the political dynamics of the time.
