Summary expansion

For more than a century following the Partitions of Poland, a protracted and often bitter national conflict pervaded life in Prussia's eastern border provinces. This book radically interprets the German--Polish relationship in the Prussian East according to a theory of 'synthesis' between nations, as the first study to apply this concept in the research of nationalism. Contradiction and conflict between the nations gave rise to mentalities and practices that were 'transnational' and that harmonized the national divide. Transnationalism in the Prussian East examines the nature of this process and its profound social and political consequences, exploring in detail issues of language and semantics, sex and marriage, politics, and culture
