Download or read book The German Worker written by Alfred Kelly and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1987-11-20 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the two generations before World War I, Germany emerged as Europe's foremost industrial power. The basic facts of increasing industrial output, lengthening railroad lines, urbanization, and rising exports are well known. Behind those facts, in the historical shadows, stand millions of anonymous men and women: the workers who actually put down the railroad ties, hacked out the coal, sewed the shirt collars, printed the books, or carried the bricks that made Germany a great nation. This book contains translated selections from the autobiographies of nineteen of those now-forgotten millions. The thirteen men and six women who speak from these pages afford an intimate firsthand look at how massive social and economic changes are reflected on a personal level in the everyday lives of workers. Although some of these autobiographies are familiar to specialists in German labor history, they are virtually unknown and inaccessible to the broader audience they deserve. This book provides translations that are at once useful, interesting, and entertaining to a wide range of historians, students, and general readers.

Book Synopsis The Guest Worker Question in Postwar Germany by : Rita Chin
Download or read book The Guest Worker Question in Postwar Germany written by Rita Chin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first English-language history of the postwar labor migration to West Germany. Drawing on government bulletins, statements by political leaders, parliamentary arguments, industry newsletters, social welfare studies, press coverage, and the cultural production of immigrant artists and intellectuals, Rita Chin offers an account of West German public debate about guest workers. She traces the historical and ideological shifts around the meanings of the labor migration, moving from the concept of guest workers as a "temporary labor supplement" in the 1950s and 1960s to early ideas about "multiculturalism" by the end of the 1980s. She argues that the efforts to come to terms with the permanent residence of guest workers, especially Muslim Turks, forced a major rethinking of German identity, culture, and nation. What began as a policy initiative to fuel the economic miracle ultimately became a much broader discussion about the parameters of a specifically German brand of multiculturalism.
Book Synopsis Joy in Work, German Work by : Joan Campbell
Download or read book Joy in Work, German Work written by Joan Campbell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes in vivid detail the German debate about the importance and meaning of work as it changed under the impact of industrialization, with special emphasis on the period between the two world wars. A social history of ideas, it covers the writings of such thinkers as Hegel, Marx, and Weber, but also examines contributions made by industrial psychologists, engineers, educators, and others who actively promoted reforms designed to solve the problem of alienation whether by changing the nature of work or by altering worker attitudes. A final section deals with the National Socialists, who promised to reinvigorate the German work ethic, restore joy in work, and reintegrate the German worker into the Volk community. The author draws our attention particularly to the Third Reich's policies and institutions aimed at realizing these Nationalist Socialist objectives concerning the worker. In so doing, Joan Campbell shows how the history of the idea of work deepens our understanding of the origins, nature, and appeal of Nazism. In a broader context, she uses her sources to explore the relationship between social and intellectual change. Originally published in 1989.

Download or read book The Nazi Worker written by Sabine Hake and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazi Worker is the second in a three-volume project on the figure of the worker and, by extension, questions of class in twentieth-century German culture. It is based on extensive research in the archives and informed by recent debates on the politics of emotion, the end of class, and the future of work. In seven chapters, the book reconstructs the processes by which National Socialism appropriated aspects of working-class culture and socialist politics and translated class-based identifications into the racialized communitarianism of Volksgemeinschaft (folk community). Arbeitertum (workerdom), the operative term within these processes of appropriation, not only established a discursive framework for integrating proletarian legacies into the cult of the German worker. As a social imaginary, workerdom also modelled the work-related emotions (e.g., joy, pride) essential to the culture of work promoted by the German Labor Front. The contribution of images and stories in creating these new social imaginaries will be reconstructed through highly contextualized readings of the debates about workerdom, Nazi movement novels, worker’s poetry, workers’ sculpture, as well as industrial painting, photography, film, and design.
Book Synopsis Seasonal Associate by : Heike Geissler
Download or read book Seasonal Associate written by Heike Geissler and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the brutalities of working life are transformed into exhaustion, shame, and self-doubt: a writer's account of her experience working in an Amazon fulfillment center. No longer able to live on the proceeds of her freelance writing and translating income, German novelist Heike Geissler takes a seasonal job at Amazon Order Fulfillment in Leipzig. But the job, intended as a stopgap measure, quickly becomes a descent into humiliation, and Geissler soon begins to internalize the dynamics and nature of the post-capitalist labor market and precarious work. Driven to work at Amazon by financial necessity rather than journalistic ambition, Heike Geissler has nonetheless written the first and only literary account of corporate flex-time employment that offers “freedom” to workers who have become an expendable resource. Shifting between the first and the second person, Seasonal Associate is a nuanced expose of the psychic damage that is an essential working condition with mega-corporations. Geissler has written a twenty-first-century account of how the brutalities of working life are transformed into exhaustion, shame, and self-doubt.

Book Synopsis The Program of the Party of Hitler,: the National Socialist German Workers' Party and Its General Conceptions by : Gottfried Feder
Download or read book The Program of the Party of Hitler,: the National Socialist German Workers' Party and Its General Conceptions written by Gottfried Feder and published by Ostara Publications. This book was released on 2019-05-19 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated by E. T .C. Dugdale. Written by one of the original founding members of the NSDAP, this booklet was the primary political document which underpinned the ideology and ideas of the future Nazi Party. Dealing with every conceivable topic--foreign policy, internal policy, property, usury, economics, race, Jews, culture, agriculture, citizenship, the military, and much more--this far-reaching document provides a sweeping and comprehensive look into the dramatic worldview of National Socialism. "The main battle is one between two world-theories, represented by two essentially differing structures--the spirit which has created and is creative and the unquiet, grasping spirit. The creative spirit, deep-rooted, but superior to the rest of the world in spiritual experience, is carried mainly by the Aryan race; the grabbing spirit, without roots anywhere, aiming only at material things, commercial, is chiefly represented by the Jews. National Socialism, like anti-Semitism, regards the Jewish-materialistic spirit as the chief cause of the evil; it knows however that this greatest struggle in history must not stop short at merely destroying the Semitic spirit; which is why the great program of National Socialism goes far beyond the anti-Semitic desire to destroy, for it offers a positive constructive picture, showing how the National Socialist State of labor and achievement ought to appear when completed. Once this high aim is achieved, the National Socialist Party will dissolve automatically; for National Socialism will then be the entire life of the whole German nation. The NSDAP is not a political Party in the ordinary sense of the word, but is that section of the nation, which is confident and sure of the future, which has gathered round strong and determined leaders to deliver Germany from shame and impotence abroad and from demoralization at home, and to make her once again strong and respected abroad, and morally and economically healthy at home." Also includes the famous "25 Points" and other notes and additions by Adolf Hitler. Cover: An exact reproduction of the 1932 original, published by Franz Lehrer Verlag in Munich. About the author: Gottfried Feder (1883-1941) was a German engineer who was one of the four original founders of the NSDAP. It was his speech on economics which initially attracted Adolf Hitler to the party, and later he and Hitler drew up the "25 Points" which became the abbreviated version of the party's policy. Feder served the NSDAP in parliament and as under-secretary at the ministry of economics until 1936, when he retired to become a professor at the Technische Hochschule in Berlin. He died in 1941.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II at least 13.5 million people were employed as forced labourers in Germany and across the territories occupied by the German Reich. Most came from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldavia, the Baltic countries, France, Poland and Italy. Among them were 8.4 million civilians working for private companies and public agencies in industry, administration and agriculture. In addition, there were 4.6 million prisoners of war and 1.7 million concentration camp prisoners who were either subjected to forced labour in concentration or similar camps or were ‘rented out’ or sold by the SS. While there are numerous publications on forced labour in National Socialist Germany during World War II, this publication combines a historical account of events with the biographies and memories of former forced labourers from twenty-seven countries, offering a comparative international perspective.

Book Synopsis A French Slave in Nazi Germany by : Elie Poulard
Download or read book A French Slave in Nazi Germany written by Elie Poulard and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Required Work Service Law, or Service du Travail Obligatoire, was passed in 1943 by the Vichy government of France under German occupation. Passage of the law confirmed the French government’s willing collaboration in providing the Nazi regime with French manpower to replace German workers sent to fight in the war. The result was the deportation of 600,000 young Frenchmen to Germany, where they worked under the harshest conditions. Elie Poulard was one of the Frenchmen forced into labor by the Vichy government. Translated by his brother Jean V. Poulard, Elie’s memoir vividly captures the lives of a largely unrecognized group of people who suffered under the Nazis. He describes in great detail his ordeal at different work sites in the Ruhr region, the horrors that he witnessed, and the few Germans who were good to him. Through this account of one eyewitness on the ground, we gain a vivid picture of Allied bombing in the western part of Germany and its contribution to the gradual collapse and capitulation of Germany at the end of the war. Throughout his ordeal, Elie's Catholic faith, good humor, and perseverance sustained him. Little has been published in French or English about the use of foreign workers by the Nazi regime and their fate. The Poulards’ book makes an important contribution to the historiography of World War II, with its firsthand account of what foreign workers endured when they were sent to Nazi Germany. The memoir concludes with an explanation of the ongoing controversy in France over the opposition to the title Déporté du Travail, which those who experienced this forced deportation, like Elie, gave themselves after the war.
Book Synopsis Turkish Guest Workers in Germany by : Jennifer A. Miller
Download or read book Turkish Guest Workers in Germany written by Jennifer A. Miller and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkish Guest Workers in Germany tells the post-war story of Turkish "guest workers," whom West German employers recruited to fill their depleted ranks. Jennifer A. Miller's unique approach starts in the country of departure rather than the country of arrival and is heavily informed by Turkish-language sources and perspectives. Miller argues that the guest worker program, far from creating a parallel society, involved constant interaction between foreign nationals and Germans. These categories were as fluid as the Cold War borders they crossed. Miller's extensive use of archival research in Germany, Turkey and the Netherlands examines the recruitment?of workers, their travel, initial housing and work engagements, social lives, and involvement in labour and religious movements. She reveals how contrary to popular misconceptions, the West German government attempted to maintain a humane, foreign labour system and the workers themselves made crucial, often defiant, decisions. Turkish Guest Workers in Germany identifies the Turkish guest worker program as a postwar phenomenon that has much to tell us about the development of Muslim minorities in Europe and Turkey's ever-evolving relationship with the European Union.
