Beskrivning
The “bulwark” or antemurale myth—whereby a region is imagined as a defensive barrier against a dangerous Other—has been a persistent strand in the development of Eastern European nationalisms. While historical studies of the topic have typically focused on clashes and overlaps between sociocultural and religious formations, Rampart Nations delves deeper to uncover the mutual transfers and multi-sided national and interconfessional conflicts that helped to spread bulwark myths through Europe’s eastern periphery over several centuries. Ranging from art history to theology to political science, this volume offers new ways of understanding the political, social, and religious forces that continue to shape identity in Eastern Europe.

Recensioner i media

“This volume does not simply offer a study on the history of nationalism in Eastern Europe, but also shows how history is still alive today and informs our everyday lives. As such, Rampart Nations is a great resource for students and scholars of both historical and contemporary Eastern Europe.” Slavic & East European Journal“This collection contributes a great deal to the relativizing of the different ideas of bulwarks. By contrasting these the volume makes the commonalities more visible.” Sehepunkte“This volume is a successful example of how History can offer insights into political challenges of the present…The quality of the contributions is excellent throughout, as are the numerous cross references, indicating the competent work done by the editors. The volume as a whole but also because of the quality of the individual contributions is to be recommended unreservedly.” Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas
