Blood and Culture: Youth, Right-Wing Extremism, and National Belonging in Contemporary Germany

Meer over het boek

The book explores the evolving concepts of national identity and belonging in Germany, particularly in the context of immigration and globalization. Through ethnographic research at vocational schools, it highlights the contrasting perspectives of working-class students, who seek to embrace their German identity, and their middle-class teachers, who grapple with the legacy of National Socialism and view national pride with skepticism. This dynamic reflects broader cultural shifts across Europe, making the discussion of citizenship and pride particularly complex in Germany's historical context.
