Rosa Luxemburg
by herausgegeben von Kristine von Soden (1995)
About this book
"As an advocate of social democracy and individual responsibility, Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) remains the most eminent representative of the revolutionary socialist tradition. She was a radical activist who was willing to go to prison for her beliefs, including her protest of the First World War. This volume provides a representative sampling of Luxemburg's essential writings, many of which have been rarely anthologized. Her examination of capitalist "globalization" in her era, the destructive dynamics of nationalism, and other topics are joined with hard-hitting political analyses, discussions of labor movement strategy, intimate prison letters, and passionate revolutionary appeals." "Luxemburg's powerful impact on the twentieth century is documented in the accompanying essays, which draw readers into the "discussions" that leading intellectuals and activists have had with this vibrant thinker."--BOOK JACKET.

Gläubige Zeiten
Manfred Gailus
"Woran glaubten die 65 Millionen Deutschen im Dritten Reich? Welche Rolle spielte die »religiöse Frage« für Bestand und Stabilität des NS-Regimes? Wie dieses Buch zeigt, war die Hitlerzeit nicht, wie bisher weithin angenommen, von Säkularisierungsprozessen oder sogar von »Gottlosigkeit« bestimmt, sondern vielmehr von multiplen religiösen Erneuerungen geprägt. Bereits das politische Umbruchsjahr 1933 war von einem tiefgehenden »religious revival« begleitet. Eine uns heute paradox anmutende Gemengelage von christlichen Traditionsbeständen und einem völkisch-politischen Neuglaube spielte eine wesentliche Rolle im Nationalsozialismus"-- Back cover.
