Dictatorship as experience

towards a socio-cultural history of the GDR

Edición de la obra Dictatorship as experience

"A decade after the collapse of communism, this volume presents a historical reflection on the perplexing nature of the East German dictatorship. In contrast to most political rhetoric, it seeks to establish a middle ground between totalitarianism theory, stressing the repressive features of the SED regime, and apologetics of the socialist experiment, emphasizing the normality of daily lives."--BOOK JACKET.
