[edit] CONSTRUCTING SOCIALISM AT THE GRASS-ROOTS

This is a study of the building of socialism in East Germany, but not from the standard perspective of the party and state authorities. It examines the effects at the grassroots level, where the pre-communist past and divided loyalties played a role in shaping the face of socialism.

In the two decades following the defeat of the Third Reich, East Germany was transformed from a war-ravaged occupation zone into an apparent model of Soviet style socialism. Based on extensive archival research, this book explores the building of socialism in East Germany not from the standard perspective of the party and state authorities. It also examines the effect this had at the grassroots level, where patterns of popular opinion, social and cultural continuities from the pre-communist past and the divided loyalties of local functionaries played a crucial role in shaping the face of real existing socialism.
