Understanding Multiculturalism

“The edited collection of articles is theoretically sophisticated and illuminating, transgressing traditional disciplinary boundaries with incisive, well-developed arguments that challenge stale notions of multiculturalism, hybridity, and nationalist mobilization… A fascinating contribution to the growing body of literature on diversity, spatiality, and nationalizing practices, Understanding Multiculturalism will be a welcomed addition to the shelves of modern historians of any field or focus.” Hungarian Cultural Studies “Enhanced with the inclusion of a twenty-four page Bibliography, a four page listing of the contributors and their credentials, and a nine page Index, Understanding Multiculturalism: The Habsburg Central European Experience is an extraordinary and highly recommended addition to college and university library collections. For the personal reading lists of students and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject it should be noted that [it] is also available in a paperback.” Midwest Book Review “Conceptually complicated and with wide-ranging empirical investigations, this volume is most likely to appeal to readers with some prior exposure to Central European history and theoretical approaches to nationalism. They will find in it plentiful food for thought.” The American Historical Review “The volume is highly recommended for anyone researching multiculturalism, and one can only agree with Csáky’s assertion that Habsburg Central Europe was a “laboratory” of experiences that can be usefully discussed in a broader context.” Austrian History Yearbook
