Protest in Hitler's \National Community\ : Popular Unrest and the Nazi Response
\"That Hitler's Gestapo harshly suppressed any signs of opposition inside the Third Reich is a common misperception. This book presents studies of public dissent that prove this was not always the case. It examines circumstances under which 'racial' Germans were motivated to protest, as well as the conditions determining the regime's response. Workers, women, and religious groups all convinced the Nazis to appease rather than repress 'racial' Germans. Expressions of discontent actually increased during the war, and Hitler remained willing to compromise in governing the German Volk as long as he thought the Reich could salvage victory\"--Provided by publisher.

Metropolitan preoccupations : the spatial politics of squatting in Berlin
In this, the first book-length study of the cultural and political geography of squatting in Berlin, Alexander Vasudevan links the everyday practices of squatters in the city to wider and enduring questions about the relationship between space, culture, and protest.

* Offers a fresh critical perspective that builds on recent debates about the \"right to the city\" and the role of grassroots activism in the making of alternative urbanisms
* Examines the implications of urban squatting for how we think, research and inhabit the city as a site of radical social transformation

* Draws on extensive field work conducted in Berlin and elsewhere in Germany
