This volume examines the French Revolution's relationship with and
impact on religious communities and religion in a transnational
perspective. It challenges the traditional secular narrative of the
French Revolution, exploring religious experience and
representation during the Revolution, as well as the religious
legacies that spanned from the eighteenth century to the present.
Contributors explore the myriad ways that individuals, communities,
and nation-states reshaped religion in France, Europe, the Atlantic
Ocean, and around the world.
This book contributes to modern German history and to the sociological understanding of crime in urban societies. Its central argument is that cities do not cause crime. It focuses on crime during Germany's period of most rapid growth. From 1871-1914, German cities, despite massive growth, socialist agitation, non-ethnic immigration, and the censure of conservative elites, were not particularly crime-infested. Nevertheless, governmental authorities often overreacted against city populations, helping to set Germany on a dangerous authoritarian course.
This 1995 book contributes to both modern German history and to the
sociological understanding of crime in modern industrial and urban
societies. Its central argument is that cities, in themselves, do
not cause crime. It focuses on the problems of crime and criminal
justice during Germany's period of most rapid urban and industrial
growth - a period when Germany also rose to world power status.
From 1871 to 1914, German cities, despite massive growth, socialist
agitation and non-ethnic German immigration, were not particularly
infested with crime. Yet the conservative political and religious
elites constantly railed against the immoral nature of the city and
the German governmental authorities, police, and court officials
often overreacted against city populations. In so doing, they
helped to set Germany on a dangerous authoritarian course.
