Localism, landscape, and the ambiguities of place

Cover of Localism, landscape, and the ambiguities of place

Localism, Landscape, and the Ambiguities of Place is about the German nation state and the German-speaking lands beyond it from the 1860s to the 1930s. It does not assume the primacy of national allegiance, but instead, by using the 'sense of place' as a prism to look at German identity in new ways, it examines the "Germanness" that was neither self-evident nor unchanging.
