The book depicts and analyzes attacks on marginalized people "maladjusted" of all sorts, women "of ill repute," "heretic" Protestants, and "Gypsies." Previously uncharted archival records reveal the use of arbitrary imprisonment, coerced labor, and deportation. The case studies presented provide insights into the origins of modern state power from varied techniques of population control, but are also an investigation of resistance against oppression, persecution, and life-threatening assaults. The spectrum of fights against debasement is a touching attestation of the humanity of the outcasts; they range from mental and emotional perseverance to counterviolence. A conversation with the eminent historian Carlo Ginzburg concludes the collection by asking about the importance of memorizing horrors of the past"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Habsburg, House of. 651 0 $a Austria $x History $y 1789-1900. 651 0 $a Political violence $z Austria $x History. 650 0 $a Minorities $z Europe, Eastern $x Crimes against. 650 0 $a Romanies $z Europe, Eastern $x Crimes against. 650 0 $a Protestants $z Austria $x History. 650 0 $a Persecution $z Austria $x History. 651 0 $a Austria $x History. $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Steiner, Stephan, 1963- $t Combating the Hydra $d West Lafayette, Indiana : Purdue University Press, 2023 $z 9781612498065 $w (DLC) 2022044080 830 0 $a Central European studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014851.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4340FEB6D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
