Accusatory Practices: Denunciation in Modern European History, 1789-1989 Paperback - 1997 - 1st Edition

by Sheila Fitzpatrick (Editor); Robert Gellately (Editor)


From the publisher

Produced by religious intolerance, political fanaticism, or social resentment, denunciation is a modern democratic practice too long neglected by historians. This fascinating book, written by excellent specialists, establishes a first inventory of this practice, leading the reader through the revolutionary and counter-revolutionary cultures of the last two centuries.--Francois Furet This is a fascinating and highly original exploration of a familiar, though poorly understood, phenomenon of modern societies in general and totalitarian systems in particular. From the French Revolution to the NKVD, Gestapo, and Stasi, denunciation is analyzed both as a function of political surveillance and as deeply rooted in the social practices of community and the workplace. The book represents a refreshing amalgam of deeply archival research and theoretical rigor.--Norman M. Naimark, Stanford University

Description:
Chicago and London: University of Chicago, 1997. 1st. p/b. Very good, 1st edition, covers and textblock good, label residue on spine, some underlining.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). The opening of the Stasi archives in 1989 revealed the existence of denunciation and informing in police states, but such practices have long been known. This is an exploration of denunciation and informing in Europe in the two centuries between the French Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The contributors to this study offer a comparative treatment which has particular relevance to the historical anthropology of everyday practices and debates on totalitarianism.
