Although Germany and Scandinavia often display a shared cultural inheritance, they are polar opposites in their response to social-economic disruptions and cultural challenges. Each displays a different set of mythologies and coping modes when faced with breakdown and disorder. In this important new book, the authors argue that it is at these critical junctures, that the tradition and identity of national and local communities are formed, polarized, and revalued; it is here that social change charts its own course.
