Product Description
"Folklore and Fascism" offers a rare look at the genesis of the Reich Institute for German Folklore. When National Socialists came to power in 1933, the Institute presented the party with the means to coordinate the political and social orders. "Respectable" German folklorists willingly worked with the Nazis, paving the way for an inhuman concept of "volk" and nation. Lixfeld uncovers Nazi documents in archives of the former East Germany, exploding the myth of "two German folklores"-one of willing collaborators and one of unwitting scholars.
