Includes bibliographical references (p. [421]-446) and index. Contexts, 1867. Defining the issue -- In 'darkest Hungary' -- Pressburg: a multi-ethnic crossroads -- Social democracy and the national question -- Events, 1918-1919. Revolution and reorientation: October-December 1918 -- From Hungary to Czechoslovakia: January 1919 -- Hope and hatred: February 1919 -- Protest and pragmatism after the February crisis -- Results, 1919-1921. Social democracy triumphant and fragmented -- Conclusions and perspectives. During the four decades of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia a vast literature on working-class movements has been produced, but it has hardly any value for today's scholarship. This remarkable study reopens the field. Based on Czech, Slovak, German and other sources, it focuses on the history of the multi-ethnic social democratic labor movement in Slovakia's capital Bratislava during the period 1867-1921, and on the process of national revolution during the years 1918-19 in particular. |
