Nationhood from Below - Europe in the Long Nineteenth Century (Hardcover): Maarten Van Ginderachter, M. Beyen Nationhood from Below - Europe in the Long Nineteenth Century (Hardcover)
Maarten Van Ginderachter, M. Beyen
R1,541 Discovery Miles 15 410 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Scholars acknowledge nationalism as a central force in nineteenth-century European history. Yet, they have seldom investigated what the nation meant to ordinary people. In this book, both renowned historians and younger scholars try to answer this question for a host of European countries, including Italy, Germany, France and Finland. Combining theoretical and methodological considerations with detailed research of archival sources on the grassroots level, Nationhood from Below will appeal to specialists in the field, but it also offers helpful reading for any college and university course on nationalism.

The Everyday Nationalism of Workers - A Social History of Modern Belgium (Hardcover): Maarten Van Ginderachter The Everyday Nationalism of Workers - A Social History of Modern Belgium (Hardcover)
Maarten Van Ginderachter
R2,857 Discovery Miles 28 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Everyday Nationalism of Workers upends common notions about how European nationalism is lived and experienced by ordinary people-and the bottom-up impact these everyday expressions of nationalism exert on institutionalized nationalism writ large. Drawing on sources from the major urban and working-class centers of Belgium, Maarten Van Ginderachter uncovers the everyday nationalism of the rank and file of the socialist Belgian Workers Party between 1880 and World War I, a period in which Europe experienced the concurrent rise of nationalism and socialism as mass movements. Analyzing sources from-not just about-ordinary workers, Van Ginderachter reveals the limits of nation-building from above and the potential of agency from below. With a rich and diverse base of sources (including workers' "propaganda pence" ads that reveal a Twitter-like transcript of proletarian consciousness), the book shows all the complexity of socialist workers' ambivalent engagement with nationhood, patriotism, ethnicity and language. By comparing the Belgian case with the rise of nationalism across Europe, Van Ginderachter sheds new light on how multilingual societies fared in the age of mass politics and ethnic nationalism.

National Indifference and the History of Nationalism in Modern Europe (Hardcover): Jon Fox, Maarten Van Ginderachter National Indifference and the History of Nationalism in Modern Europe (Hardcover)
Jon Fox, Maarten Van Ginderachter
R3,719 Discovery Miles 37 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

National indifference is one of the most innovative notions historians have brought to the study of nationalism in recent years. The concept questions the mass character of nationalism in East Central Europe at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Ordinary people were not in thrall to the nation; they were often indifferent, ambivalent or opportunistic when dealing with issues of nationhood. As with all ground-breaking research, the literature on national indifference has not only revolutionized how we understand nationalism, over time, it has also revealed a new set of challenges. This volume brings together experienced scholars with the next generation, in a collaborative effort to push the geographic, historical, and conceptual boundaries of national indifference 2.0.
