What is "European Historical Consciousness"? How do people living in Europe today think about their histories? Does European history unite or divide us? This book presents reflective and provocative essays by an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners including some of the leading authorities on the topic. It explores what is meant by "European Historical Consciousness" and why it is important. The volume describes a variety of approaches including the nature of Europe, configurations of historical consciousness like memory and narrative, the politics of history writing, history education and the role of the historian.
