In fact, there has been substantial sociological work on the Holocaust, although this scholarship has often been ignored or neglected including in the discipline of sociology itself. \u003ci\u003eSociology and the Holocaust\u003c\/i\u003e brings this scholarly tradition to light, and in doing so offers a comprehensive synthesis of the vast historical and social science literature on the before, during, and after of the Holocausta tour d'horizon from an explicitly sociological perspective. As such, the aim of the book is not simply to describe the chronology of events that culminated in the deaths of6 million Jews but to draw upon sociology's theoretical toolkit to understand these events and the ongoing legacy of the Holocaust sociologically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Berger’s work will play a significant role in any future investigation of the Holocaust from a multi-disciplinary perspective.

He succeeds admirably by discussing the relevance of the sociological classical theorists Marx, Durkheim, and Weber. For example, he addresses Weber’s thought on bureaucracy in the context of the organization of the Nazi killing apparatus. His analysis includes collective memory of the historical events and their victims – highly recommended.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Lutz Kaelber, Associate Professor of Sociology at University of Vermont, Faculty Committee of the Carolyn and Leonard Miller Center for Holocaust Studies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Personal and Professional Roots\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e A Second Generation Perspective \u003cbr\u003eTerms of the Inquiry \u003cbr\u003eThe Indifference of a Discipline \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e2 On the Shoulders of Giants\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSociologists of the 1930s and 1940s \u003cbr\u003e The Trifocal Lens of Classical Theory \u003cbr\u003e A General Theory and Case Study of Structure and Agency \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e3 Antisemitism and Pseudoscientific Racism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Development of Christian Antisemitism \u003cbr\u003e The Confluence of Antisemitism and Racism \u003cbr\u003e Nazi Eugenics and the Medicalization of Genocide\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Class Composition and Economics of Nazism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Nazi Party Membership and Election Studies \u003cbr\u003e Economic Exclusion, Aryanization, and Mass Theft \u003cbr\u003e Nazi and Corporate Enterprises \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e5 The Nazi State, Bureaucracy, and Response of the Jews\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Inner Circle of the Nazi State \u003cbr\u003eNazi Cultural Organizations \u003cbr\u003eFrom the Nuremberg Laws to the Final Solution \u003cbr\u003e Ghettoization \u003cbr\u003eOpen-Air Shootings and Concentration Camps\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The Response of the Allies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Prewar Period \u003cbr\u003e The Wartime Period \u003cbr\u003e The Immediate Postwar Period\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 National Collective Memories of the Holocaust \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Federal Republic of Germany \u003cbr\u003e Israel \u003cbr\u003e The United States \u003cbr\u003e Poland\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 It Is Happening Here\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The New Authoritarianism \u003cbr\u003e The Question of Fascism \u003cbr\u003e The White Power and Patriot Movements \u003cbr\u003eThe Radicalization of the Republican Party \u003cbr\u003e Concluding Reflections on Contemporary Antisemitism \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019138367831,"sku":"9781032605791","price":128.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032605791.jpg?v=1750779430","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sociology-and-the-holocaust-9781032605791","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
