Volume 3 of our series "Poland: Transnational Histories" is now available! The edited volume studies how various social bonds of communities functioned in East-Central Europe from the late eighteenth century until today. The authors show how multifaceted this group-building really was. 14 case studies of communities in East-Central European urban centres demonstrate the potential of re-interpretation or adaptation of the past as a crucial tool for assuring social cohesion and for strengthening group boundaries. The contributors explore the actual creativity employed by these communities to envision their past and their future.
This book will be of interest to scholars and students of regional urban history and cultural diversities, memory cultures and community formation.
