Neighbors and Enemies provides an interpretation of the collapse of
Germany's first democracy, the Weimar Republic, which ended with
the naming of Adolf Hitler as chancellor in January 1933. This
study focuses on individual workers in Berlin and their strategies
to confront the crises in their daily lives introduced by the
transformation of society after 1918 and intensified during the
Depression. Tensions between the sexes and generations, among
neighbours, within families, and between citizens and their
political parties led to the emergence of a radical - and at times
violent - neighbourhood culture that signalled a loss of faith in
political institutions. Swett offers an interpretation that marries
a history of daily life in Depression-era Berlin with an analysis
of the meanings of local politics in workers' communities, shifting
our focus for understanding Weimar's collapse from the halls of
governmental power to the streets of the urban core.
