An acknowledged authority on German history and memory, Alon
Confino presents in this volume an original critique of the
relations between nationhood, memory, and history, applied to the
specific case of Germany. In ten essays (three never before
published and one published only in German), Confino offers a
distinct view of German nationhood in particular and of nationhood
in general as a product of collective negotiation and exchange
between the many memories that exist in the nation. The first group
of essays centers on the period from 1871 to 1990 and explores how
Germans used conceptions of the local, or Heimat, to identify what
it meant to be German in a century of ideological upheavals. The
second group of essays comprehensively critiques and analyzes the
ways laypersons and scholars use the notion of memory as a tool to
understand the past. Arguing that the case of Germany contains
particular characteristics with broader implications for the way
historians practice their trade, ""Germany as a Culture of
Remembrance"" examines the limits and possibilities of writing
history.
