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 Scotland and the Flemish People written by Alexander Fleming and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flemish are among the most important if under-appreciated immigrant groups to have shaped the history of medieval and early modern Scotland. Originating in Flanders, Northern Europe's economic powerhouse (now roughly Belgium and the Netherlands), they came to Scotland as soldiers and settlers, traders and tradesmen, diplomats and dynasts, over a period of several centuries following the Norman Conquest of England in the eleventh century. Several of Scotland's major families – the Flemings, Murrays, Sutherlands, Lindsays and Douglases for instance– claim elite Flemish roots, while many other families arrived as craftsmen, mercenaries and religiously persecuted émigrés. Adaptable and creative people, Flemish immigrants not only adjusted to Scotland's very different environment, but left their profound mark on the country's economic, social and cultural development. From pantiles to golf, from place names to town planning, the evidence of Flemish influence is still readily traceable in Scotland today. This book examines the nature of Flemish settlement in Scotland, the development of economic, diplomatic and cultural links between Scotland and Flanders, and the lasting impact of the Flemish people on Scottish society and culture.

Download or read book The Last Knight of Flanders written by Allen Brandt and published by Schiffer Pub Limited. This book was released on 1998 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the authorized biography of Remy Schrijnen. Schrijnen first served as a messenger in the SS foreign volunteer legion (SS-Freiwilligen-Legion) 'Flandern' and later as a no. 1 gunner in an anti-tank gun unit of the SS foreign volunteer brigade (SS-Freiwilligen-Sturmbrigade) 'Langemarck.' Schrijnen was awarded Germany's highest decoration for bravery in battle, the Knight's Cross to the Iron Cross, for actions during the battles in the northern sector of the Eastern Front during the fateful summer of 1944. While the story indeed centers around the life and times of Remy Schrijnen, its primary purpose is to explain and detail the thoughts, motivations and experiences typical of all the Flemish volunteers who fought alongside the Germans against the Soviet Union in the Second World War"--Foreword.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***SHORTLISTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2020 – CYCLING BOOK OF THE YEAR*** ***LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019*** 'A joy.' – Ned Boulting Every nation shapes sport to test the character traits it most admires. In The Beast, the Emperor and the Milkman, committed Belgophile and road cycling obsessive Harry Pearson takes you on a journey across Flanders, through the lumpy horizontal rain, up the elbow juddering cobbled inclines, past the fans dressed as chickens and the shop window displays of constipation medicines, as he follows races big, small and even smaller through one glorious, muddy spring. Ranging over 500 years of Flemish and European history, across windswept polders, along back roads and through an awful lot of beer cafes, Pearson examines the characters, the myths and rivalries that make Flanders a place where cycling is a religion and the riders its lycra-clad priests.

Download or read book Ethnic Conflict in the Western World written by Milton J. Esman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why, in the late 1960's, did ethnic minorities such as Scots and Welsh, Quebecois, Bretons and Basques unexpectedly begin to protest and assert their demands with fresh vigor, confidence, and even violence? What are the factors that help to explain the activation of these ethnic political movements, some of which now threaten the continued integrity of such long-established states as Canada and Great Britain? This book represents the first systematic attempt to deal with the re-emergence of ethnic conflict in Western societies. In addition to three historical and theoretical essays, there are eleven case studies of countries where ethnic nationalism has become politically significant. In a concluding chapter the editor comments on the theoretical and policy implications of the country studies.
