Popularizing National Pasts is the first truly cross-national and
comparative study of popular national histories, their
representations, the meanings given to them and their uses, which
expands outside the confines of Western Europe and the US. It draws
a picture of popular histories which is European in the full sense
of this term. One of its fortes is the inclusion of Eastern Europe.
The cross-national angle of Popularizing National Pasts is apparent
in the scope of its comparative project, as well as that of the
longue duree it covers. Apart from essays on Britain, France, and
Germany, the collection includes studies of popular histories in
Scandinavia, Eastern and Southern Europe, notably Romania,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Armenia, Russia and the Ukraine, as well as
considering the US and Argentina. Cross-national comparison is also
a central concern of the thirteen case studies in the volume, which
are, each, devoted to comparing between two, or more, national
historical cultures. Thus temporality -both continuities and
breaks- in popular notions of the past, its interpretations and
consumption, is examined in the long continuum. The volume makes
available to English readers, probably for the first time, the
cutting edge of Eastern European scholarship on popular histories,
nationalism and culture.
