"The Nation in the Village prompts a generous run of intriguing questions pertinent to (and often challenging) the prevailing historiography of nationalism and the peasantry in Poland."
--Slavic and Eastern European Review"Keely Stauter-Halsted's new monograph combines the best of intellectual worlds: it is not only richly informed by theoretical and historical works on identity formation, civil society, subaltern studies, peasant nationalism, and cultural studies but by extensive materials from archives in Warsaw, Krakow, and Lvov. The result of her intellectual efforts in an insightful study of the political, social, and cultural transformation of Galician serfs into members of the Polish nation during the postemancipation period and how the peasants themselves were instrumental in this transformation.... She set the bar quite high for those who wish to investigate the creation, establishment, and maintenance of a Polish national identity."
--Slavic Review"Insightful and innovative... Stauter-Halsted's book is a fine example that draws on a dazzling array of printed and archival sources to reveal what peasants themselves were saying, writing, thinking, and dreaming about any future Polish nation.... The fresh approach to the village and identity will make a strong contribution to the literature on nationalism, peasant studies, and the public sphere. it should be essential reading for anyone interested in modern Europe, the peasantry, and national identity."
--H-Net Reviews"This study makes an important contribution to the growing literature on nationalism in Eastern Central Europe."
--Polish Review"This volume makes a major contribution to the ever-growing literature of nationalism by emphasizing the plurality and dynamism of the process. It is well illustrated and indexed and includes an excellent bibliography."
