dc.description.abstract | There is no shortage of literature on the East German revolution of 1989, but class analyses have been few and far between. In this paper, I survey a number of interpretations of the class composition of the 1989 movements—namely, that they comprised ‘the people’ or the intelligentsia—and find them wanting. I also subject Linda Fuller’s thesis on the non-participation of the working class to detailed examination. Against Fuller, I show that workers were involved en masse, and that although the decisive part they played was on the streets, this movement synergised with upheaval in workplaces, too. | en_US |
