Home Fires Burning: Food, Politics, And Everyday Life In World War I Berlin
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Challenging Assumptions About The Separation Of High Politics And Everyday Life, Belinda Davis Uncovers The Important Influence Of The Broad Civilian Populaceparticularly Poorer Womenon German Domestic And Even Military Policy During World War I.As Britain'S Wartime Blockade Of Goods To Central Europe Increasingly Squeezed The German Food Supply, Public Protests Led By Women Of Little Means Broke Out In The Streets Of Berlin And Other German Cities. These Street Scenes Riveted Public Attention And Drew Urban Populations Together Across Class Lines To Make Formidable, Apparently Unified Demands On The German State. Imperial Authorities Responded In Unprecedented Fashion In The Interests Of Beleaguered Consumers, Interceding Actively In Food Distribution And Production. But Officials' Actions Were Far More Effective In Legitimating Popular Demands Than In Defending The State'S Right To Rule. In The End, Says Davis, This Dynamic Fundamentally Reformulated Relations Between State And Society And Contributed To The State'S Downfall In 1918. Shedding New Light On The Wilhelmine Government, German Subjects' Role As Political Actors, And The Influence Of The War On The Home Front On The Weimar State And Society, Home Fires Burning Helps Rewrite The Political History Of World War I Germany.
