Making Sense of Race, Class, and Gender: Commonsense, Power, and Privilege in the United States
'By 1848 London had become a city of many refugees, many from radical uprisings or movements in Germany and France. Here Lattek describes the community of Germans that formed in London as the firestorms of 1848 flared, starting with the various organizations they forms strictly for themselves and then for others in the early years, followed by the growth of the Communist League and its demise only a few years later, a period of apathy following the collapse of several projects, and the rising perception that this was not exile but a colony. One of the most interesting ideas is that because the Germans were so insular, they made remarkably few inroads into the lives of ordinary English workers, a situation which became more complex as trade unionism became a major factor in English social and political life.' -- Reference & Research Book News--This text refers to theDigitaledition.
