However, as demonstrated in this volume, histories have not, of course, only been written by professional historians. Drawing on studies from a number of different European nation states, the contributors to this volume present a systematic exploration, of the representation of the national paradigm. In doing so, they contextualize the European experience in a more global framework by providing comparative perspectives on the national histories in the Far East and North America. As such, they expose the complex variables and diverse actors that lie behind the narration of a nation."--Book jacketMaking sense of history ;11.Nationalism and the artsEuropeArts, EuropeanNationalism and historiographyEuropeNationalism and the artsArts, European.Nationalism and historiography940.072Berger Stefan156730Eriksonas Linas1515397Mycock Andrew1515398MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791366703321Narrating the nation3751081UNINA
