Heimat in Holland

This collection of case studies investigates the significance and function of national identity. The authors see national consciousness in terms of the circumstances in which it arose, and in terms of the meaning which it had for a specific group or individual. Representations of the nation could serve to legitimize or support specific political or social agendas, or to provide people with a point of fixity amidst changing circumstances. The articles in this volume trace these aspects of national consciousness in the case of a single country: The Netherlands.

Different Meanings of Dutchness, 1870-1940

Images of the Nation

In Negotiating Racial Politics in the Family, Henkes investigates how migrants negotiated their various responsibilities and loyalties towards family and nation, plus other major ethical obligations, when they became implicated in repressive political regimes such as National Socialism and Apartheid.
