Chapter Chapter 1 in The Apprentice Movement in the Federal Republic of Germany, 2025, pp 1-8 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The Introduction summarises the issues, methods, and timing of the Apprentice Movement. Although the movement attracted much attention at the time, it was subsequently ignored or belittled in the relevant social science literature until returned to view by social historians. Two potential explanations are considered for this neglect: first, the movement’s own limitations, in terms of scale, duration, and effects, and second, the low social status of apprentices and methodological biases in social science. The book argues for its substance as a social movement.
