Descriere
This comparative study examines religious-based oppositional activity in Slovakia and East Germany before 1989, focusing on how the secret Catholic Church in Slovakia and the Lutheran Church in East Germany confronted state socialist rule through grassroots activism that contributed to communism's eventual dismantling. The author compares these cases to demonstrate how religion provided a space for independence beyond state control and served as a foundation for resistance, showing the varying political power, influence, and effects these churches had in relation to state repression or cooptation.
