From the supplier: Tibor Soos, secretary general of the Hungarian Parliament, solicited the help of US legislators to strengthen the political situation in his country which has witnessed drastic government changes since its transition to democracy in 1985. The country's first free elections after more than 40 years was disorganized and was not conducted on objective lines. Although congressional financial assistance aided the establishment of a sound infrastructure, efficient state legislatures are necessary to ensure its proper functioning.

Product Description
Chapters: György Lukács. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 48. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: György Lukács (Hungarian pronunciation: ; April 13, 1885 June 4, 1971) was a Hungarian Marxist philosopher and literary critic. He is a founder of the tradition of Western Marxism. He contributed the ideas of reification and class consciousness to Marxist philosophy and theory, and his literary criticism was influential in thinking about realism and about the novel as a literary genre. He served briefly as Hungary's Minister of Culture following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Lukács's full name, in German, was Georg Bernhard Lukács von Szegedin, and in Hungarian was Szegedi Lukács György Bernát; he published under the names Georg or György Lukács. (Lukács is pronounced by most English speakers, the original pronunciation being IPA: .) He was born Löwinger György Bernát to a wealthy Jewish family in Budapest. His father was József Löwinger (later Szegedi Lukács József; 1855, Szeged 1928), an investment banker, his mother was Adele Wertheimer (Wertheimer Adél; 1860, Budapest 1917). Lukács studied at the universities of Budapest and Berlin, receiving his Ph.D. in 1906. While attending grammar school and university in Budapest, Lukács's membership of various socialist circles brought him into contact with the anarcho-syndicalist Ervin Szabó, who in turn introduced him to the works of Georges Sorel. Lukács's outlook during this period was modernist and anti-positivist. From 1904 to 1908, he was involved in a theatrical group that produced plays by dramatists such as Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg and Gerhart Hauptmann. Lukács spent much time in Germany: he studied in Berlin in 1906 and again in 1909-10, where he made the acquaintance of Georg Simmel, and in Heidelberg in 1913, where he became...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=310872 ...

Product Description
In this important historical account of the role that religion played in defining the political life of a modern national society, Paul A. Hanebrink shows how Hungarian nationalists redefined Hungary-a liberal society in the nineteenth century-as a narrowly "Christian" nation in the aftermath of the First World War. Drawing on impressive archival research, Hanebrink uncovers how political and religious leaders demanded that "Christian values" influence public life while insisting that religion should never be reduced to the status of a simple nationalist symbol.

In Defense of Christian Hungary also explores the emergence of the idea that a destructive "Jewish spirit" was the national enemy. In combining the historical study of antisemitism with more recent considerations of religion and nationalism, Hanebrink addresses an important question in Central European historiography: how nations that had been inclusive of Jews before World War I became rabidly antisemitic during the interwar period. As he traces the crucial and complex legacy of religion's role in shaping exclusionary antisemitic politics in Hungary, Hanebrink follows the process from its origins in the 1890s to the Holocaust and beyond.

More broadly, In Defense of Christian Hungary squarely addresses the relationship between antisemitic words and antisemitic violence and between religion and racial politics, deeply contested issues in the history of twentieth-century Europe.The Hungarian example is a chilling demonstration of how religious nationalism can find a home even within a pluralist and tolerant civil society. ...

Politics & Religion
I read this book purely to pick up historical facts about the holocaust in Hungary. I must say I learned a lot about the role of the churches and their influence, however indirect, on the course of wartime events. Parts of the book are easy reading while other sections require a bit of a slog to get through, but all in all it was worth it to me. My knowledge of events in Hungary has been added to quite effectively from a little known perspective. I gave it 3 stars because it is hard to digest in places. Information good, writing style fair only. ... Read more
