Biografisk notat
Helmut Walser Smith is Martha Rivers Ingram Professor of History and Director of the Max Kade Center for European and German Studies at Vanderbilt University. A scholar of German nationalism, religious history, and anti-Semitism, he is a specialist on Imperial Germany and has written on the long continuities of German history.How else might we organize our thinking about the past? This question is particularly pressing at a time when many look to history for concrete answers and explanations: the media, the general public, school teachers and, last but not least, the students we teach. Oxford University Press have been at the forefront of responding to such demands for general answers by commissioning a series of new handbooks, which included, last year, a new Handbook on Modern German History, edited by Helmut Walser Smith'.
