Die im maurischen Stil erbaute Synagoge in der Oranienburger Straße von Berlin versinnbildlichte wie kein anderer Ort in Deutschland sowohl das Selbstbewusstsein des deutschen Judentums wie auch die Vorbildfunktion der iberisch-sephardischen Kultur. Dieses Phänomen wird im vorliegenden Werk in all seinen Ausprägungen untersucht. Dass die jüdische Geschichte auf der iberischen Halbinsel dabei nicht nur als Goldenes Zeitalter wahrgenommen wurde, sondern in Abgrenzung dazu auch viele Gegenentwürfe entstanden sind, die die Entwicklung einer modernen deutsch-jüdischen Identität seit dem 18. Jahrhundert entscheidend geprägt haben, ist die zentrale These des Buches.

Nationalism was declared to be dead too early. A postnational age was announced, and liberalism claimed to have been victorious by the end of the Cold War. At the same time postnational order was proclaimed in which transnational alliances like the European Union were supposed to become more important in international relations. But we witnessed the rise a strong nationalism during the early 21st century instead, and right wing parties are able to gain more and more votes in elections that are often characterized by nationalist agendas. This volume shows how nationalist dreams and fears alike determine politics in an age that was supposed to witness a rather peaceful coexistence by those who consider transnational ideas more valuable than national demands. It will deal with different case studies to show why and how nationalism made its way back to the common consciousness and which elements stimulated the re-establishment of the aggressive nation state. The volume will therefore look at the continuities of empire, actual and imagined, the role of "foreign-" and "otherness" for nationalist narratives, and try to explain how globalization stimulated the rise of 21st century nationalisms as well

Right wing populism has become an apparent and expanding phenomenon of the present. Nationalist claims to protect the state against waves of immigration are en vogue. Populists claim to secure national interests and to defend cultural values. The cultural Other is used to establish or to strengthen a narrative of fear. The proposed edited volume will examine the interrelationship of nationalism and populism during the 20th and 21st centuries.
