Lebenswelt und Kultur der unterbürgerlichen Schichten im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert

From the press:

"The focus is on processes of class formation and class culture. Leisure and working life, urban and rural living environments, gender relations, family structures, protests, housing, clothing, and food culture are thoroughly examined, while unfortunately, the aspect of social inequality in the context of illness and death is lacking. However, the volume provides an excellent, concise overview that offers the reader a good and current access to the various fields and research directions." (Michael Wettengel in Historisch-Politisches Buch)

"I consider it a significant merit of this work that it repeatedly points to the openness of research, even if the author occasionally reveals that he has taken a personal stance (which is his right)." (Walter Hartinger in Bayerisches Jahrbuch für Volkskunde).
