| Summary: | Winson Chu's excellent book on ethnic Germans in interwar Poland pursues three aims. First, the author challenges the longstanding view of relationships between Germans and Poles as uniformly contentious. Second, he underscores the tenacity of regional identities among Polish Germans—identities that encouraged ethnic disunity and prevented the formation of a nationwide organization to represent German interests. Third, Chu complicates the “völkisch turn” in recent scholarship, which emphasizes the wholesale breakthrough of völkisch ideology among Germans in and outside the Reich after World War I. |
