The politics of language and nationalism in modern central Europe

This work focuses on the ideological intertwining between Czech, Magyar, Polish and Slovak, and the corresponding nationalisms steeped in these languages. The analysis is set against the earlier political and ideological history of these languages, and the panorama of the emergence and political uses of other languages of the region.

Recent books include 'Nationalisms Today' (edited with K. JaskuLowski), 'Silesia and Central European Nationalisms' and (co-edited in two-volumes) 'Nationalisms Across the Globe'.
