Offering a counterbalance to previous scholarship on elite Olympics
sports and doping scandals, this study analyzes how the East German
government used participatory sports programs, sports festivals,
and sports spectatorship to transform its population into new
socialist citizens. It illuminates the power of the East German
dictatorship over its population, the ways that citizens
participated in, accommodated to, and resisted state goals, and the
government's ultimate failure to create eager socialist citizens.
It also highlights the orchestration of participation in modern
dictatorships, the role of mass participatory sports as both a
valuable political tool and a popular leisure activity, and
elements of continuity and change in twentieth-century German
history.
