Book excerpt: "This significant contribution to German history pioneers a conceptually sophisticated approach to German-German relations.

The book will become a 'must read' for German historians."—Heide Fehrenbach, author of Cinema in Democratizing Germany "Poiger breaks new ground in this history of the postwar Germanies.

[A] well-written and well-argued study."—Priscilla Wald, author of Constituting Americans

Download or read book Sex, Thugs and Rock 'n' Roll written by Mark Fenemore. This book was released on 2007-12-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating and highly readable account of what it was like to be young and hip, growing up in East Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. Living on the frontline of the Cold War, young people were subject to a number of competing influences. For young men from the working class, in particular, a conflict developed between the culture they inherited from their parents and the new official culture taught in schools. Merging with street gangs, new youth cultures took shape, which challenged authority and provided an alternative vision of modernity. Taking their fashion cues, music and icons from the West, they rapidly came into conflict with a didactic and highly controlling party-state. Charting the clashes which occurred between teenage rebels and the authorities, the book explores what happened when gender, sexuality, Nazism, communism and rock 'n' roll collided during a period, which also saw the building of the Berlin Wall.
