Historians today like to preach the virtues of comparison and
cross-national work. In the last decade, cross-national histories
have prospered, yielding important work in the subjects as diverse
as the transatlantic trade in slaves and the cultures of celebrity.
In the meantime, comparative history has also enjoyed a
renaissance, but what is largely missing in the rush beyond the
nation is any sense of how to tackle this research.
This volume brings together scholars who have worked either
cross-nationally or comparatively to reflect upon their own
research. In essays that engage practical, methodological, and
theoretical questions, these contributors assess the gains--but
also the obstacles and perils--of research that traverses national
boundaries. Drawn from the subject-areas that have attracted the
most comparative and cross-national attention: war, welfare, labor,
nation, immigration, and gender.
Taken together, these essays provide the first critical analysis of
the cross-national turn in European history.
