Oliver Zimmer (University of Durham Lecturer)

Gebundenes Buch

A Contested Nation

History, Memory and Nationalism in Switzerland, 1761-1891

Beschreibung

This book examines the ways in which the Swiss came to define their national identity. It explores why the nation became a theme of public concern, how different social actors created and re-created Swiss nationhood, and why they embraced some definitions rather than others.
