Borders of Belonging

Experiencing History, War and Nation at a Danish Heritage Site

Daugbjerg, M.

This book explores how such struggles unfold in practice at a highly symbolic battlefield site in the Danish/German borderland. Comprised of an ethnography of two profoundly different institutions – a conventional museum and an experience-based heritage center – it analyses the ways in which staff and visitors interfere with, relate to, and literally “make sense” of the war heritage and its national connotations. Borders of Belonging offers a comparative, in-depth analysis of the practices and negotiations through which history is made and manifested at two houses devoted to the interpretation of one event: the decisive battle of the 1864 war in which Otto von Bismarck, on his way to uniting the new German Empire, led the Prussian army to victory over the Danish.

State, Peasants and the Politics of Land in Postsocialist Romania

Dorondel, S.

The fall of the Soviet Union led not only to new regimes of ownership and development but to dramatic changes in the landscape itself. This study focuses on the emblematic case of postsocialist Romania, in which the transition from collectivization to privatization profoundly reshaped the nation’s forests, farmlands, and rivers.

Managing for Sustainability in Preindustrial Europe, 1100–1800

Dowling, A. P. & Keyser, R. (eds)

Conservation’s Roots illuminates the diversity of practices in premodern environmental history across Europe from the Middle Ages to the brink of modernity.

The Art of Managing Foreign Aid

Drążkiewicz, E.

How do states become donors? Why do individuals decide to share their wealth with others through foreign aid? Using examples from Poland, Elżbieta Drążkiewicz demonstrates how the concept of foreign aid requires the establishment of a specific moral economy which links national ideologies and local cultures of charitable giving with broader ideas about the global political economy.
