The new volume Germany 1916-23. A Revolution in Context, edited by Klaus Weinhauer, Anthony McElligott and Kirsten Heinsohn, puts the German Revolution "into a wider time frame (1916-23), and coheres around three interlinked propositions: (i) acknowledging that during its initial stage the German Revolution reflected an intense social and political challenge to state authority and its monopoly of physical violence, (ii) it was also replete with »Angst«-ridden wrangling over its longer-term meaning and direction, and (iii) was characterized by competing social movements that tried to cultivate citizenship in a new, unknown state."Content:Introduction: In Search of the German RevolutionKlaus Weinhauer/Anthony McElligott/Kirsten HeinsohnVIOLENCE, STATE AND ORDERThe Crowd in the German November Revolution 1918Mark Jones“Incapable of Securing Order?” The Prussian Police and the German Revolution 1918/19Nadine RossolLabour Conflict and Everyday Violence as “Revolution”?
