Author Ute Frevert explores how emotions have influenced individuals, societies, and political movements. She examines twenty essential and powerful emotions, such as anger, grief, hate, love, pride, shame, and trust, and how they colored major events and developments from the German Empire to the Federal Republic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmotions also have their own history, demonstrated by the changing forms, meanings, and atmosphere of various emotions in twentieth-century Germany. For example, hate was a driving force behind National Socialism but is out of place in a democracy. Around 1900, people associated practices with love or nostalgia that do not resonate with us today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book showcases the historical power of emotions as much as their own historicity. It highlights how emotions influenced public opinion, shaped political decisions, and contributed to national identity formation.
