Intimacy and Exclusion

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the intense ideological struggle in the Grand Duchy of Baden during the years leading to the 1848 revolutions, focusing on the interplay between liberalism, conservatism, and Christianity. It highlights how Christianity's complex ties to Judaism and sexuality influenced political discourse and shaped radical, conservative, and liberal ideologies. By examining the "politics of the personal," particularly regarding sex and marriage, the author reveals their significant impact on broader issues such as church-state relations and Jewish civic rights.
