Between 1870 and 1960, national boundaries became more evident on
the demographic map of Western Europe. In most of the fifteen
countries examined here, differences in marital fertility,
illegitimacy, and marriage from one province (counties, cantons,
arrondissements) to another diminished considerably. From Provinces
into Nations describes this shift to greater national demographic
homogeneity and places it in the context of a parallel decline in
linguistic diversity, as well as in the context of increases in
national market integration, the expansion of state activities, and
nation-building. The book interprets the shift as evidence of the
influence of communities on demographic behavior, and as an
indication of the growing predominance of national over local
communities. The author uses demographic data, too often the
property of specialists, to examine themes of interest to
historians, sociologists, economists, and political scientists
interested in the integration of modern societies. Originally
published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
