{"product_id":"state-and-minorities-in-communist-mike-dennis-9781782381037","title":"State and Minorities in Communist East Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003e Based on interviews and the voluminous materials in the archives of the SED, the Stasi and central and regional authorities, this volume focuses on several contrasting minorities (Jehovah's Witnesses, Jews, 'guest' workers from Vietnam and Mozambique, football fans, punks, and skinheads) and their interaction with state and party bodies during Erich Honecker's rule over the communist system. It explores how they were able to resist persecution and surveillance by instruments of the state, thus illustrating the limits on the power of the East German dictatorship and shedding light on the notion of authority as social practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Dennis, Norman Laporte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782381031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782381037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Mike Dennis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125364322559,"sku":"9781782381037","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1441ec9b-1445-4293-8861-3c9f0f8c4525.jpg?v=1687442195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/state-and-minorities-in-communist-mike-dennis-9781782381037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
