| Publisher Description: Germany explains the diverse ways in which national identity has been constructed over more than three centuries. It focuses on the plurality of contested definitions of 'Germanness. The themes covered include the struggles between democratic and non-democratic inventions of the nation, foreigners and 'Germanness' and the impact of war on the construction of a German national identity. This is a fundamental reappraisal of Germany's history from a perspective available only now that the dust from the demolished Berlin Wall is settling in a reunited Germany |
