Adelheid von Saldern is Professor of Modern History and Director, Historisches Seminar, Universit�t Hanover.
". . . a highly interesting and informative book that works well on
several levels. The chapters can be read collectively or
individually. . . . In toto, they provide insight both into the
focus of von Saldern's work--labor history, gender studies, popular
culture--as well as into the [sic] some of the major
historiographical trends in Germany since the 1970s."

". . . a valuable introduction to some significant themes in
twentieth-century German social history and to the work of an
important scholar."

". . . this book is a must buy for those writing on and researching
German history, as well as the social and cultural history of
Europe more generally. The significance of the book is far greater,
however, as the essays, when taken together, transcend their
immediate geographical contexts. The great strength of von
Saldern's work, as it is presented here, is that she suggests
perspectives of general applicability, which means that social and
cultural historians as a whole ought to take note of her
ideas."

Humanities & Social Sciences" (8/23/2004 12:00:00 AM)
"Von Saldern's research, both as represented here and in her other
numerous publications, benefits historiography of twentieth-century
Germany by complicating easy assumptions about the interactions
between authority and the individual. Further, her mastery of the
literature makes this volume a valuable resource for researchers in
related fields. Aided by Bruce Little's able translation, this book
is an admirable addition to the University of Michigan's Social
History, Popular Culture, and Politics in Germany series."
