An encyclopedic selection of original documents from the Austrian
capital's pathbreaking, progressive interwar period, translated and
with contextualizing introductions and commentaries. Immediately
after World War I, in 1919, the Austrian capital Vienna elected a
Social Democratic majority that persisted until 1934. The city's
leaders, together with its intellectuals, boldly imagined a new
society that would be economically just, scientifically rigorous,
and radically democratic. "Red Vienna" undertook experiments in
public housing, welfare, and education while maintaining a
world-class presence in science, music, literature, theater,
andother fields of cultural production. Though Red Vienna
eventually fell victim to fascist violence, it left a rich legacy
with potential to inform our own tumultuous times. The Red Vienna
Sourcebook provides scholars and students with a selection of some
280 key texts from the period, carefully translated and introduced.
These texts connect readers to the era's most fascinating
discussions, movements, and personalities and will be of interest
to such diverse disciplines as architecture, economics, film
studies, history, Jewish studies, literary studies, music,
philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, sports, and
women's studies.
