Working in East Germany: Normality in a Socialist Dictatorship 1961-79

By Jeannette Z. Madarasz, Kirk McNair, Creg Stephenson

Book Overview

Working in East Germany explores economic tendencies, political relationships and social situations that combined to create a specific socio-political habitat in East Germany after the building of the Berlin Wall. Conditions were peculiar to say the least, especially if compared to Western standards. Nevertheless, the majority of the population perceived their lives as part of a 'socialist normality' that most East Germans adjusted to successfully. This book writes the people back into the history of East Germany.
