Conclusion. 330 $a?This book brings fresh light to previously marginalized subject in German history. It is an original approach, up-to-date written without scholarly jargon, easily accessible to students, both at undergraduate and graduate. It is highly focused departing from the usual ?histories? of a single country arguing for the ?two German states?, and the three political systems.? - Prof. Dr. László Kürti, Institute of Applied Social Sciences, University of Miskolc, Hungary This books argues that nation-building and identity (re)construction in Germany from the Wilhelmine period until the present day has involved debates about and struggles over religion, education, sexuality and the arts, as well as the country's past. Contrasting three very different incarnations of Germany ? the totalitarian Third Reich, the communist German Democratic Republic, and the democratic Federal Republic of Germany up to 1990 ? this book examines their experiences with and responses to nonconformity, dissent, opposition, and resistance, and the role played by those factors in each case. It is worth stressing that what qualifies as nonconformity and dissent depends on the social and political context and, thus, changes over time. Like those in active dissent, opposition, or resistance, nonconformists are rebels (whether they are conscious of it or not), and have repeatedly played a role in pushing for change, whether through reform of legislation, transformation of the public?s attitudes, or even regime change. 606 $aOpposition (Political science)$xHistory$zGermany$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOpposition (Political science)$xHistory 676 $a324.0943 700 $aRamet$b Sabrina P.$f1949-$0472014 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427039003321 996 $aNonconformity, dissent, opposition, and resistance in Germany, 1933-1990$92047087 997 $aUNINA
