Bücher von Alon Confino

In this study, Confino explores how Germans turned national and argues that they imagined the nation as an extension of their place - despite Germany's fragmented past. This nationhood identity project is examined with reference to the southwestern state of Wurttemberg.

Presents a critique of the relations between nationhood, memory, and history, applied to the specific case of Germany. This work contains ten essays that offer a distinct view of German nationhood in particular and of nationhood in general as a product of collective negotiation and exchange between the many memories that exist in the nation.
