Bøger af Dominique Kirchner Reill

A history of the efforts of community leaders and intellectuals in Venice, Trieste, and Dalmatia to create a multi-national region along the shores of the Adriatic Sea, based on a nationalism that valued diversity, not homogeneity.

From the ashes of empire, the nation rose on a wave of idealism. That, at least, is the standard tale. Dominique Reill argues that empire retained many supporters after 1919. Investigating the post-WWI crisis in multicultural, urbane Fiume, she finds that the stories of empire's cosmopolitans have been overwritten by the triumph of nationalism.
