Between Resistance and Collabration

LYNNE TAYLOR is Associate Professor of History at the University of Waterloo, Canada. She teaches Modern European History. She is currently engaged in two research projects - an oral history of the occupation experience and an examination of the refugee crisis in Germany immediately after World War II.

'The rich empirical detail from the archives gives each set of actions its own character, and the book subtly explores the degree of neighbourhood co-operation that lay behind both strikes and food riots...Taylor's book contributes strongly to the growing literature on what James C. Scott has called the weapons of the weak.' - H. Roderick Kedward, Times Literary Supplement
