Description:
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 political and societal uses, expanding 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, making available to English readers the cutting edge of Eastern European scholarship on popular histories, nationalism, and culture.
Review Quotes:
"The individual essays are exciting, and offer a variety of new topics and methods that will greatly increase our understanding of the impact of the past on the historical and contemporary present." Stephanie Barczewski, Clemson University, USA
