From the 1860s onward, Habsburg Hungary attempted a massive project
of cultural assimilation to impose a unified national identity on
its diverse populations. In one of the more quixotic episodes in
this "Magyarization," large monuments were erected near small towns
commemorating the medieval conquest of the Carpathian
Basin-supposedly, the moment when the Hungarian nation was born.
This exactingly researched study recounts the troubled history of
this plan, which-far from cultivating national pride-provoked
resistance and even hostility among provincial Hungarians. Author
Balint Varga thus reframes the narrative of nineteenth-century
nationalism, demonstrating the complex relationship between local
and national memories.
