The book depicts and analyzes attacks on marginalized people "maladjusted" of all sorts, women "of ill repute," "heretic" Protestants, and "Gypsies." Previously uncharted archival records reveal the use of arbitrary imprisonment, coerced labor, and deportation. The case studies presented provide insights into the origins of modern state power from varied techniques of population control, but are also an investigation of resistance against oppression, persecution, and life-threatening assaults. The spectrum of fights against debasement is a touching attestation of the humanity of the outcasts; they range from mental and emotional perseverance to counterviolence. A conversation with the eminent historian Carlo Ginzburg concludes the collection by asking about the importance of memorizing horrors of the past"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCentral European studies. 517 3 $aViolence and resistance in the Habsburg Empire, 1500-1900 606 $aMinorities$zEurope, Eastern$xCrimes against 606 $aRomanies$zEurope, Eastern$xCrimes against 606 $aProtestants$zAustria$xHistory 606 $aPersecution$zAustria$xHistory 606 $aPolitical violence$zAustria$xHistory 607 $aAustria$xHistory$y1789-1900 607 $aAustria$xEthnic relations$xHistory 610 00$acoerced labor$acounter-violence$amicrohistory$aearly modern period$aminority persecution$aEnlightenment$aReformation$aRoma history$aCentral Europe$aBukovina$atransportation$aCounter-Reformation$auprisings$aCarlo Ginzburg$aembassy chapels$aGypsies$apenal colonies$aProtestantism$adeportation$aHabsburg Empire$aviolence 615 0$aMinorities$xCrimes against. 615 0$aRomanies$xCrimes against. 615 0$aProtestants$xHistory. 615 0$aPersecution$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical violence$xHistory. 676 $a943.9/042 700 $aSteiner$b Stephan$f1963-$0803040 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910675301403321 996 $aCombating the Hydra$93071751 997 $aUNINA
