Literature of Nationalism: Essays on East European Identity FROM THE CRITICS Booknews
Fourteen contributors examine nationalist phenomena in the written
and oral tradition of the former Soviet Bloc, with an emphasis on the
negative aspects of nationalism. Chapters look at literary
stereotyping of the alien, and present topics such as Serbian and
Croatian identity, Czech feminists' perception of their nationalist
role, the Hungarian sacralisation of language, and Karelian dream-
interpretations as the re-creating of identity.
