Index
Helmut Walser Smith is Martha Rivers Ingram Professor of History and Director of the Max Kade Center for European and German Studies at Vanderbilt University. A scholar of German nationalism, religious history, and anti-Semitism, he is a specialist on Imperial Germany and has written on the long continuities of German history.
`How else might we organize our thinking about the past? This
question is particularly pressing at a time when many look to
history for concrete answers and explanations: the media, the
general public, school teachers and, last but not least, the
students we teach. Oxford University Press have been at the
forefront of responding to such demands for general answers by
commissioning a series of new handbooks, which included, last year,
a new Handbook on
Modern German History, edited by Helmut Walser Smith.'
