Editorial Review: “Stitziel's great accomplishment in this well-researched book is to offer a multi-dimensional analysis that treats fashion as both a cultural phenomenon and a productive concern. He intertwines this cultural and political history with a fascinating discussion of what the textile-and-garment industry produced and which wares did (and did not) sell. A most impressive achievement.” ―Donna Harsch, Carnegie Mellon University “This excellent book explains how and why East German citizens came to judge their standard of living using the capitalist criteria of individual consumption while taking for granted subsidized social consumption. This is genuinely original work, exceptionally well written and fascinating.” ―Jonathan Steinberg, University of Pennsylvania “A highly original analysis of the making of a socialist consumer culture, and of how the attempt to forge a socialist personality and modernity with new consumer desires, values, and habits ultimately failed.” ―Alon Confino, University of Virginia
