- Description
- The authors discuss the possible effects of national identity and the transmission of historical knowledge for historical culture. They consider different historical narratives and moral perspectives generated in the sometimes difficult processes of coming to terms with the pasts of Germany, South Africa and postcolonial Western nations. They ask what happens when foundational concepts, such as the Enlightenment, the nation or gender, are subjected to critique and revision?
