Description
Book SynopsisThis book provides a new understanding of German twentieth-century history by using the lens of citizenship to explore issues of nationality, belonging, and constructions of German nationhood.
Trade Review"In thought-provoking and insightful essays, the scholars contributing to this volume present citizenship as the central arena in which Germans debated the meaning of their ideal community...They make a convincing case, and their substantial contributions to the history of modern Germany and international understanding of citizenship prove their point."
