Drawing on original research into the Christian Social movement, the book analyses how issues such as nationalism, mass poverty and social unrest enabled the gestation in ‘respectable’ society of antisemitism, an ideology that seemed to be dying in the 1860s, but which was given new strength from the 1880s. It delivers a riposte to portrayals of the lower clergy as a marginalised group that was driven to defend itself from liberal attacks by turning to anti-liberal, antisemitic action, as well as exposing the nurturing role played by senior clergy. As the book reveals, the Church in Vienna as a whole was determined to counter liberalism, to the point of welcoming any authoritarian regime that would do so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Michael Carter-Sinclair’s meticulously researched and very readable monograph is a political history of the Christian Social Party (CSP) and its relationship with the Church… the author immediately challenges received wisdom about the perceived persecution of the Church and its members by a triumphalist liberal elite...

The author has used church documents to prove how antisemitic stereotypes were used systematically by the clergy to keep the old anti-Jewish hatred alive…. The basic arguments Carter-Sinclair presents here are covered in studies by John Boyer, Bruce Pauley, and Peter Pulzer…. However, the book uses new evidence, including formerly overlooked materials like parish newsletters, to demonstrate how central antisemitism was to the thinking and feeling of rank-and-file members of Austrian Catholicism.’\u003cbr\u003e Anton Pelinka, \u003ci\u003eAntisemitism Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1 Before the rise of the antisemites\u003cbr\u003e2 Antisemites begin to organise, 1873–89\u003cbr\u003e3 To the brink of power, 1889–95\u003cbr\u003e4 A Christian, socially engaged movement? 1896–1914\u003cbr\u003e5 A German movement? 1896–1914\u003cbr\u003e6 War and the end of empire, 1914–18\u003cbr\u003e7 An unloved republic? 1919–26\u003cbr\u003e8 The right asserts itself, 1927–33\u003cbr\u003e9 Building a Christian and German Austria? 1934–8\u003cbr\u003e10 An end to Austria? \u003cbr\u003e11 Principal conclusions and further questions\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041009434967,"sku":"9781526144867","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526144867.jpg?v=1750948582","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/vienna-s-respectable-antisemites-a-study-of-the-christian-social-movement-9781526144867","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
