Germany: A Nation in Its Time. Before, During, and After Nationalism, 1500–2000
It is not every day that a leading historian in the field publishes a nearly 500-page narrative spanning a half-millennium of German history. Smith’s ambitious and inventive new volume, however, is no typical survey. Rather, he has written an intellectual and cultural history of the idea of Germany, a narrative of the ‘nation’ as imagined and practised over the centuries. Smith’s key argument, stated with enviable concision, is that ‘there was no…
Nation and Loyalty in a German-Polish Borderland: Upper Silesia, 1848–1960
In the bloody twentieth-century battles over Central Europe's borderlands, Upper Silesians stand out for resisting pressure to become loyal Germans or Poles. This work traces nationalist activists' efforts to divide Upper Silesian communities, which were bound by their Catholic faith and bilingualism, into two 'imagined' nations. These efforts, which ranged from the 1848 Revolution to the aftermath of the Second World War, are charted by Brendan …

Winson Chu, The German Minority in Interwar Poland
A Jewish “Nature Preserve”: League of Nations Minority Protections in Nazi Upper Silesia, 1933–1937
In October 1936, Herbert Levy, a thirty-year-old German Jew living in Breslau, the capital of Silesia, moved to the eastern stretches of the region in order to become a doctor. Against all odds and repressive trends in Nazi Germany at the time, Levy applied for a spot to study medicine in Hindenburg, a mining town near the Polish-German border. While his application was predictably rejected based on his Jewish identity, Levy's response was less p…
Regionalism, Democracy and National Self-Determination in Central Europe
The end of the Cold War and the accompanying easing of archival restrictions in former communist countries have created a veritable renaissance in historical literature on the region in the last two decades. The fall of the Iron Curtain has subsequently thrown into doubt the historiographical salience of a strict East–West divide and prompted the resurgence of analytic concepts such as Central Europe or East Central Europe. The former term, defin…
