This volume contains three sections of essays which examine the role of commemoration and public celebrations in the creation of a national identity in Habsburg lands. It also seeks to engage historians of culture and of nationalism in other geographic fields as well as colleagues who work on Habsburg Central Europe, but write about nationalism from different vantage points. There is hope that this work will help generate a dialogue, especially with colleagues who live in the regions that were analyzed. Many of the authors consider the commemorations discussed in this volume from very different points of view, as they themselves are strongly rooted in a historical context that remains much closer to the nationalism we critique.

This review is from: Staging the Past: The Politics of Commemoration in Habsburg Central Europe, 1848 to the Present (Central European Studies) (Starmont Pulp and Dime Novel Studies) (Paperback)
I loved reading this book. After many books of political and ideological influenced books, there is something that provides more objective understanding. If you care about those times, then this book is a must.
