What is German history? Where did it take place? And what role did
Germans living outside of Central Europe play in it? This
polycentric history offers a new vision: It uses communities of
Germans, from Austria to Chile to Russia, to rethink our narratives
of modern German history. Focusing on the great plurality of
Germans, and their interconnections around the world, it pointedly
de-centers the nation-state while arguing that resisting its
dominance in our historical narratives has high intellectual and
political stakes. For within an unbound German history there are
characteristics, clues, models, and precedents that can do much to
undermine the return of violent, exclusionary nationalism. To that
end, this book calls for a greater integration of mobilities,
migration flows, different ways of belonging, and transcultural
places into our narratives of Germans' histories. Ultimately, it
reveals how embracing a range of narratives can help us to better
understand people's actions, intentions, and motivations in
particular historical moments.
