The Contested Nation. Ethnicity, Class, Religion and Gender in National Histories (Writing the Nation)

This volume asks which national histories underpinned which national identity constructions in almost every nation state in Europe during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It explores the construction of national identities through history writing and analyses their interrelationship with histories of ethnicity/race, class and religion.
