In this illuminating comparative study, three generations of
leading American and German scholars explore the phenomenon of
nationalism in Germany and the United States, from the Declaration
of Independence to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The book identifies
and defines the similarities and differences between American
nationalism, based on an ideology of inherent rights and faith in
the 'American dream', and the 'blood and soil' nationalism of
Germany. In the process, contributors encounter striking
differences between the role of national symbols and the
representation of the nation in both countries, and equally
revealing parallels regarding the role of political and social
movements, as well as the way in which colonial aggression has been
related to a nationalistic discourse at home.
This interdisciplinary book focuses on five areas:
politics (American republicanism and German monarchism)
culture (art, architecture, and the arts)
warfare and militarism
the writing of national history
the role of political and social movements
This book not only represents a major contribution to studies of
German and American history, but, through the uniqueness of its
comparative approach, provides profound insights into the concept
of nationalism and signals the way for future comparative
research.
