Description

Review Sweeney has made an invaluable contribution to the ?eld. His book will remain an indispensable read for many years to come.---Social HistorySweeney's book redraws the lines of continuity between the authoritarian mentalities of nineteenth-century industrialists and the antidemocratic politics of heavy industry during the Weimar Republic and beyond.---Journal of Modern HistorySweeney's is an ambitious intellectual exercise. In some respects it resembles the Marxist or Marxisant histories of German interest-group politics that were produced in East and West Germany in the 1960s and 1970s; but now, after the cultural turn, the author has resorted to a different set of methodological tools to analyze the influence and significance of these employer ideologoes.--Roger Chickering, Georgetown University Product Description This book features an examination of the relationship between labor relations and public life in the Saar river valley that traces the wider political-ideological changes of the era. Germany's rise from newly formed nation-state on the European continent to global industrial power during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was propelled by the rapid expansion and transformation of its heavy industries, especially coal mining, iron and steel-making, electrical engineering, and chemical production.In ""Work, Race, and the Emergence of Radical Right Corporatism in Imperial Germany"", Dennis Sweeney explores this transformation in industrial organization and its connections to, and consequences for, German political culture in the early twentieth century. Focusing on the changing discourse, representations, and institutions that gave shape and meaning to factory work and labor conflict in the Saar, the book demonstrates the ways in which Saar factory culture and labor relations were constituted in wider fields of public discourse and anchored in the institutions of the local-regional public sphere and the German state. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of labor, industrial organization, ideology and political culture, and the genealogies of Nazism. About the Author Associate Professor of History at the University of Alberta, Dennis Sweeney is the author of numerous articles on industrial culture in Wilhelmine Germany.
