Neighbors and Enemies

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the experiences of individual workers in Berlin, the book examines the societal transformations following 1918 and the impact of the Depression on daily life. It highlights the tensions among various social groups, including gender and generational conflicts, which contributed to a radical neighborhood culture and a decline in trust towards political institutions. By intertwining the history of everyday life with local political dynamics, the author shifts the narrative of the Weimar Republic's collapse from government actions to the realities faced in urban communities.
