From Popular Liberalism to National Socialism (eBook, PDF)

Religion, Culture and Politics in South-Western Germany, 1860s-1930s

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates the development of what the author terms 'popular liberalism', in order to present a more nuanced understanding of political and cultural patterns in Germany up to the early 1930s. In particular, the author offers an explanation for the success of National Socialism before 1933 in certain regions of South Germany, arguing that the radical liberal sub-culture was not subsumed by the Nazi Party, but instead changed its form of representation. By looking afresh at the relationship between local-regional identities and national politics, this book makes a major contribution to the study of the roots of Nazism.
