The Continuities of German History - Nation, Religion, and Race across the Long Nineteenth Century (Hardcover, New)

This book opens the debate about German history in the long term -
about how ideas and political forms are traceable across what
historians have taken to be the sharp breaks of German history.
Smith argues that current historiography has become ever more
focused on the twentieth century, and on twentieth-century
explanations for the catastrophes at the center of German history.
Against conventional wisdom, he considers continuities - nation and
nationalism, religion and religious exclusion, racism and violence
- that are the center of the German historical experience and that
have long histories. Smith explores these deep continuities in
novel ways, emphasizing their importance, while arguing that
Germany was not on a special path to destruction. The result is a
series of innovative reflections on the crystallization of
nationalist ideology, on patterns of anti-Semitism, and on how the
nineteenth-century vocabulary of race structured the
twentieth-century genocidal imagination.
