'What is a German's fatherland?', asked Ernst Moritz Arndt at the
beginning of the nineteenth century. This has arguably been the
central question of modern German history. Germans did not have a
united fatherland until 1871, and, thereafter, major political
events in 1918, 1933, 1945, 1968 and 1989 ensured that the answers
to Arndt's question proliferated and diverged with breath-taking
speed. Germany explains the diverse ways in which national identity
has been constructed over more than three centuries. It focuses on
the plurality of contested definitions of 'Germanness'. The themes
covered include the struggles between democratic and non-democratic
inventions of the nation, the construction of the racial nation
under Nazism, economic definitions of the nation, foreigners and
'Germanness', the nation as a 'community of memory', the gendering
of the national discourse, the federal nature of German nationalism
and the impact of war on the construction of a German national
identity. This is a fundamental reappraisal of Germany's history
from a perspective available only now that the dust from the
demolished Berlin Wall is settling in a reunited Germany.
