The Continuities of German History 下载 网盘 kindle mobi 115盘 pdf pdb rtf

　　This book opens the debate about German history in the long

term – about how ideas and political forms are traceable across

what historians have taken to be the sharp breaks of German

history. Smith argues that current historiography has become ever

more focused on the twentieth century, and on twentieth-century

explanations for the catastrophes at the center of German history.

Against conventional wisdom, he considers continuities – nation and

nationalism, religion and religious exclusion, racism and violence

– that are the center of the German historical experience and that

have long histories. Smith explores these deep continuities in

novel ways, emphasizing their importance, while arguing that

Germany was not on a special path to destruction. The result is a

series of innovative reflections on the crystallization of

nationalist ideology, on patterns of anti-Semitism, and on how the

nineteenth-century vocabulary of race structured the

twentieth-century genocidal imagination.

1. The vanishing point of German history

2. The mirror turn lamp: senses of the nation before

nationalism

3. On catastrophic religious violence and the national belonging:

the Thirty Years' War and the massacre of Jews in social

memory

4. From play to act: anti-Semitic violence in German and European

history during the long nineteenth century

5. Eliminationist racism

6. Afterword: where the Sonderweg debate left us

书籍介绍

This book addresses the long term of German history, tracing ideas and politics across what have become sharp chronological breaks. Smith argues that current historiography has become ever more focused on the twentieth century, and on twentieth-century explanations for the German catastrophe. Against conventional wisdom, he considers continuities - in the concept of nation and the ideology of nationalism, in religion and religious exclusion, and in racism and violence - that are the center of the German historical experience and that have long histories. Smith explores these deep continuities in novel ways, emphasizing their importance, while arguing that Germany was not on a special path to destruction. The result is a series of innovative reflections on the crystallization of nationalist ideology, on patterns of anti-Semitism, and on how the nineteenth-century vocabulary of race structured the twentieth-century genocidal imagination.
