Peripheries at the Centre compares the experiences of schooling in Upper Silesia in Poland and Eupen, Sankt Vith, and Malmedy in Belgium - border regions detached from the German Empire after the First World War. It demonstrates how newly configured countries envisioned borderland schools and language learning as tools for realizing the imagined peaceful Europe that underscored the political geography of the interwar period.BorderlandsEuropeSocial conditions20th centuryEducationEuropeHistoryLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingEuropeHistory20th centurySchoolsEuropeHistory20th centuryEDUCATION / HistorybisacshBorderlandsSocial conditionsEducationHistory.Language and languagesStudy and teachingHistorySchoolsHistoryEDUCATION / History.370.9BENELUXDE-6fidMachteld Venken1429126the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History at the University of Luxembourgfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndBOOK9910743679103321Peripheries at the Centre: Borderland Schooling in Interwar Europe3567511UNINA
