By demonstrating how even a communist dictatorship could imagine itself to be a champion of human rights, this book challenges popular narratives on the fall of the Berlin Wall and illustrates how notions of human rights evolved in the Cold War as they were re-imagined in East Germany by both dissidents and state officials. Ultimately, the fight for human rights in East Germany was part of a global battle in the post-war era over competing conceptions of what human rights meant. Nonetheless, the collapse of dictatorship in East Germany did not end this conflict, as citizens had to choose for themselves what kind of human rights would follow in its wake"-- Inhaltsverzeichnis: Introduction: The exploitation of man by man has been abolished! -- Creating a human rights dictatorship, 1945-1956 -- Inventing socialist human rights, 1953-1966 -- Socialist human rights on the world stage, 1966-1978 -- The ambiguity of human rights from below, 1968-1982 -- The rise of dissent and the collapse of socialist human rights, 1980-1989 -- Revolutions won and lost, 1989-1990 -- Conclusion: Erasures and rediscoveries.
