A German Identity: 1770 to the Present Day
Resource Category: Language Resource
Cultural Resource
Description: A provocative study in which the author, Harold James, offers a unique explanation of German national identity over the last 2+ centuries. See publisher review for more details (web address below).
Editorial Board Review: This book explores how the German concept of identity is born. It looks closely at how national identity has formed since the 18th century, how the 19th century transfigured cultural nationalism into political nationalism, the association between national economy and the German state, and the crisis of nationality during the Weimar period, the National Socialist period, and the postwar era. This work is written from historical and sociological perspectives and, thus, it is helpful if the reader has some former knowledge of Germany's past.
