Studies in Comparative Imperial and National History

Summary

Ireland and Ukraine explores themes of empire, colonisation, and national liberation movements through a European lens. The contributors challenge common perceptions of European divisions, questioning the distinctions between 'western' and 'eastern' Europe, particularly in terms of nationalism. The book highlights the lack of visibility of post-Soviet scholarship in Anglo-American discourse and emphasises the value of intra-European comparisons to dismantle persistent misconceptions about Europe’s diverse nations.

This book is ideal for readers interested in European politics, history, and nationalism studies, especially those looking to deepen their understanding of lesser-studied European countries and post-Soviet perspectives.

The contributors to this volume argue that the themes of empire, colony, and national liberation movements can be addressed in a European continental as much as in Asian, Latin American, or African contexts. A within-Europe comparison calls into question the tendency to assume fundamental differences between "western" and "eastern" Europe.

Description

The contributors to this volume show that the themes of empire, colony, and national liberation movements can be addressed in a European continental context as much as in Asian, Latin American, or African contexts.

There is a further benefit from a within-Europe comparison: it calls into question the tendency to assume fundamental differences between "western" and "eastern" Europe, including the now largely abandoned distinction between a "western" nationalism, defined as a civil nationalism, and an "eastern" one, defined as ethnic.

It also answers the question of whether intra-European comparison of this kind is possible, in a context where post-Soviet scholarship is often invisible in Anglo-American scholarship. As Norman Davies reminds us, low public awareness of Europe's smaller and, in west-European minds, "more distant" nations underlies the persistence of false generalisations about them, including assumptions like "that the whole of the west was advanced while the whole of the east was backward."
