Richard Robert Wagner: Gewerkschaft, Bildung Und Die Politische Kultur Der Moderne in Wien

With this annotated selection of works by Richard Robert Wagner, an important contribution to the history of Viennese Modernism — and at the same time to the contemporary debate on democracy and emancipation — is made accessible once again. In the introduction, Johann Dvořák summarizes the key positions of the popular educator, trade unionist, journalist, and writer: “The democratization of education for all people, including children and young people, is the most important task alongside democratization in the state and society. Yet this cannot become a reality without the complete democratization of gender relations …”. Wagner’s biography, researched in greater detail for the first time, sheds light, among other things, on the little-noticed history of those who fled to Yugoslavia before the Holocaust.
