“...an exciting and fascinating volume.”  ·  Geschichte und Region/Storia e Regio“The essays in this volume are well framed theoretically; as a matter of equal importance, they are based on in-depth archival research, which gives texture, nuance, and authority to their conclusions. The book is recommended particularly for those who wish an introduction to the work of a dynamic group of scholars who have amply demonstrated the contingent, historically grounded, and diverse nature of nationalism.”  ·  H-German“…insightful and informative….the essays in this volume contribute to a better understanding of nationalism and nation-building in multicultural East Central Europe.”  ·  German Studies Review
