Reviews / Votes
"Discourses of Collective Identity bietet eine eindrucksvolle Lektuere und sei auch solchen Lesern empfohlen, die sich jenseits der ostmittel-, suedosteuropaeischen Area Studies fuer Nationalismusforschung interessieren. Fuer jene Regionalstudien bedeutet er einen gewichtigen Versuch, das Feld fuer eine kritische Ideengeschichte zurueckzugewinnen, nachdem besonders fuer Suedosteuropa ethnologisch-anthropologische, kultur- und sozialgeschichtliche Fragestellungen in letzter Zeit eine dominierende Stellung einnehmen." * H-Soz-u-Kult * "The collection does an admirable job of addressing multiple audiences. One could imagine these texts being used to great effect in an undergraduate course and, although the contexts would likely be too dense for students at this level, they would make the volume well suited to a graduate course. The series could just as easily be used by scholars well-versed in the intellectual history of one or more of the areas represented who are looking to broaden the context of their understanding." * Slavic and East European Journal *More details
