This author argues that German liberalism failed because of the irreconcilable conflict between two competing visions of German identity. In following the German liberal parties from the Empire through the Third Reich Kurlander illustrates convincingly how an exclusionary racist Weltanschauung, conditioned by profound transformations in German political culture at large, gradually displaced the liberal-universalist conception of a democratic Rechtsstaat. Although there were some notable exceptions, this widespread obsession with \"racial community [Volksgemeinschaft]\" caused the liberal parties to succumb to ideological lassitude and self-contradiction, paving the way for National Socialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Kurlander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845450698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845450694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 46","brand":"Eric Kurlander","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077593821439,"sku":"9781845450694","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_189cf7b3-a1e0-4a16-9cd1-7b3557e24768.jpg?v=1685470778","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-price-of-exclusion-eric-kurlander-9781845450694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
