The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569–1795) was once the
largest country in Europe—a multicultural republic that was home
to Belarusians, Germans, Jews, Lithuanians, Poles, Ruthenians,
Tatars, Ukrainians, and other ethnic and religious groups. Although
long since dissolved, the Commonwealth remains a rich resource for
mythmaking in its descendent modern-day states, but also a source
of contention between those with different understandings of its
history. Multicultural Commonwealth brings together the expertise
of world-renowned scholars in a range of disciplines to present
perspectives on both the Commonwealth’s historical diversity and
the memory of this diversity. With cutting-edge research on the
intermeshed histories and memories of different ethnic and
religious groups of the Commonwealth, this volume asks how various
contemporary conceptions of multiculturalism can be applied to the
region through a critical lens that also seeks to understand the
past on its own terms.
