Download or read book Nationalism in Belgium written by Kas Deprez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about shifting national identities in Belgium. It is an attempt to show how these identities emerged and evolved. It aims at explaining why the Belgian identity, which in 1830 was so strong that it could create a new nation-state, has become so weak that today it has to accept a mere overarching role above and in competition with the new national loyalties. More and more people wonder whether this country will survive.
Download or read book The Everyday Nationalism of Workers written by Maarten Van Ginderachter and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Everyday Nationalism of Workers upends common notions about how European nationalism is lived and experienced by ordinary people—and the bottom-up impact these everyday expressions of nationalism exert on institutionalized nationalism writ large. Drawing on sources from the major urban and working-class centers of Belgium, Maarten Van Ginderachter uncovers the everyday nationalism of the rank and file of the socialist Belgian Workers Party between 1880 and World War I, a period in which Europe experienced the concurrent rise of nationalism and socialism as mass movements. Analyzing sources from—not just about—ordinary workers, Van Ginderachter reveals the limits of nation-building from above and the potential of agency from below. With a rich and diverse base of sources (including workers' "propaganda pence" ads that reveal a Twitter-like transcript of proletarian consciousness), the book shows all the complexity of socialist workers' ambivalent engagement with nationhood, patriotism, ethnicity and language. By comparing the Belgian case with the rise of nationalism across Europe, Van Ginderachter sheds new light on how multilingual societies fared in the age of mass politics and ethnic nationalism.

Download or read book Culture Identity and Nationalism written by Timothy Baycroft and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2004 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the evolution of national and regional, cultural and political identities in that northern region of France which borders Belgium, over the two centuries which followed the French Revolution. During that time the region was transformed by the development of the industrial economy, population shifts, war and occupation, and numerous changes of political regime. Through an analysis of a wide range of issues, including language, regional and national political movements, educational policy, attitudes towards immigrants and the border, the press, trade unions, and the church - as well as the attitude of the French State - the author questions traditional interpretations of the process of national assimilation in France. At the same time he illustrates how the Franco-Belgian border, originally an arbitrary line through a culturally homogeneous region, became not only a significant marker for the identity of the French Flemish, but a real cultural division. TIMOTHY BAYCROFT is lecturer in French history, University of Sheffield.
Download or read book Walloon Federalism Or Belgian Nationalism The Walloon Movement at the End of the First World War written by Chantal Kesteloot and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the history of the Flemish movement and the crucial importance of the First World War in its evolution. The history of its Walloon counterpart during the same period is much less known. It is true that the Walloon movement was a less important actor, but it is nonetheless interesting to see whether the winds of radicalism that blew over the Walloon movement in 1912 had a lasting effect.0For a long time, people were satisfied with the idea of a Walloon movement falling into lethargy from July 1914 to the spring of 1919, little or nothing happening between these two dates. Recent research has helped to nuance this vision. The Walloon movement, both in occupied Belgium and in Paris, was neither inactive nor silent, and the occupying Germans also took an interest in it. But what impact did this have at the end of the war, when Belgian nationalism seemed to triumph? Here also, research has mainly focused on Flemish nationalism, marked by the emergence of a new competing nationalist identity, in radical opposition with the Belgian fatherland. In short, a Flemish movement deeply transformed by the First World War....0On closer inspection, the Walloon movement also appears to be deeply marked by the First World War. It is far from the hesitations that characterized it before the war when it came to giving shape to projects for state reform. If the Walloon Assembly never really debated the question of federalism and its forms before 1914, it is quite different after the war. During the war various projects are prepared, usually in secret. The year 1919 sees intense debate, with no less than eight proposals ranging from two- or three-party federalism to regionalism submitted to the delegates of the Assembly. Eventually, the moderate approach prevails and federalism is temporarily sidelined.

Download or read book Belgium written by Bernard A. Cook and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2002 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Belgium has only been an independent state since the 1830s, it has a long and complex past. This history is essential for understanding the complexities of issues that led to a devolution of the unitary Belgian state into a federation of linguistically based regions. In addition to the elements that contributed to Belgium's particular political evolution, the history which is traced in this book is a composite of many themes of broad historical interest and importance. Belgium: A History covers the gamut of Belgian history through dramas of religious and cultural conflict, intense localism, state building, uneven development, divergent class interests, war and domination, and finally, integration into a larger European community.
