About this book

The relationship between Germans and their non-German counterparts in Central and East Europe has been a fundamental feature of European History. The twelve essays in this volume address key aspects of this complex and multifaceted relationship which has been marked by friendship and cooperation as well as enmity and strife. The topics range from medieval peasant settlement to present-day relations between Germans and Poles. Central themes are national identity, the emergence and development of mixed communities and inter-cultural communication.

Reviews

'...the collection stands as a welcome addition to the growing literature on the multifaceted relationship between European peoples and an important contribution to the on-going debate on how that relationship may be best described.' - Peter H. Wilson, Immigrants & Minorities
