In one of the more quixotic episodes in this “Magyarization,” large monuments were erected near small towns commemorating the medieval conquest of the Carpathian Basin—supposedly, the moment when the Hungarian nation was born. This exactingly researched study recounts the troubled history of this plan, which—far from cultivating national pride—provoked resistance and even hostility among provincial Hungarians. Author Bálint Varga thus reframes the narrative of nineteenth-century nationalism, demonstrating the complex relationship between local and national memories.Austrian and Habsburg studies.NationalismHungaryHistory19th centuryMemorializationPolitical aspectsHungaryHungaryPolitics and government1867-191819th century nationalism.habsburg hungary.historical study.history.hostility among provincial hungarians.hungary.impose unified national identity.local and national memories.massive project of cultural assimilation.medieval conquest of carpathian basin.moment hungarian nation was born.quixotic episodes in magyarization.resistance provoking.study of magyarization.NationalismHistoryMemorializationPolitical aspects320.5409439NP 5907rvkVarga Bálint1983-1631422MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812078803321The monumental nation3970209UNINA
