Description

Workers Culture in Imperial Germany represents the first alternative approach to the study of workers' culture in Imperial Germany.

It is also the first comprehensive historical analysis of the emergence of Germany's modern leisure industry.

The central concern of the book is the emergence of a distinct workers' culture which provided a disparate and heterogeneous working class with a focus of identity in an alien and hostile society.

Lynn Abrams focuses on the leisure activities enjoyed by workers in the major cities of Bochum and Dusseldorf.

She provides a comprehensive coverage of a whole range of popular amusements and recreations on offer including festivals, pubs, Tingel-Tangels, dance halls, clubs and cinema.

The book is also a major contribution to the social history of working-class life in the nineteenth century, contributing to the debate over the role of a working class culture in Imperial Germany.
