Localism, Landscape, and the Ambiguities of Place by David Blackbourn
These essays do not assume the primacy of national allegiance. Instead, by using the 'sense of place' as a prism to look at German identity in new ways, they examine a sense of 'Germanness' that was neither self-evident nor unchanging.
'The contribution this volume makes to the field of cultural studies goes well beyond its German scopeIts greatest contribution - the whole being larger than the sum of the parts - lies in its testing and stretching of theories of place and identity. In the end, Localism, Landscape, and the Ambiguities of Place exposes some of the very assumptions that have gone into the notion of hybridity itself.' -- Peter Blickle German Quarterly 'This collection is an excellent starting point for further research to test the concepts of place, identity, and hybridity in their diverse historical forms.' -- Christian M ller The Historical Journal: vol53:03:10
