Politics, History and Collective Memory in East Central Europe
Politics, History and Collective Memory in East Central Europe

Summary/Abstract: First, briefly: this book, a collection of papers by eminent scholars, is recommended reading not only for historians of the region, but also for policy analysts and journalists reporting on it. It deals with the territory of the Intermarium (Polish Międzymorze, Ukrainian Mizhmorya, and Lithuanian Tarpjūris), or the lands between the Baltic, Black, and Adriatic Seas. This large swath of European heartland is all too often imagined in either postcolonial or narrowly ethno-nationalistic terms. What the late Pope John Paul II named as one of Europe’s “two lungs” is generally not conceptualized as a historic-cultural entity of its own.
