Description:
This book traces cultural landscape as the manifestation of the state and national community under the Nazi regime, and how the Nazi era produced what could be referred to as a totalitarian cultural landscape. It concludes by examining racial and nationalistic themes underlying cultural landscape concepts today.
Review Quotes:
"The formal power of buildings in Nazi Germany has tended to focus historical attention upon the architecture at the expense of understanding the larger sites in which they were located. In this fascinating account, Haney forensically examines a range of 'cultural landscapes' each conceived to express an aspect of Nazi mythology."
Professor Murray Fraser, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London
"This meticulously researched book alerts us to the geopolitical underpinnings of the National Socialist cultural landscape. Never one to bore his audience, David Haney will transform the way in which historians and general readers understand Nazi architectural production."
Associate Professor Ian Klinke, School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford
