National history has once again become a battlefield. In internal political conflicts, which are fought on the terrain of popular culture, museums, schoolbooks, and memorial politics, it has taken on a newly important and contested role. Irrespective of national specifics, the narratives of new nationalism are quite similar everywhere. National history is said to stretch back many centuries, expressesing the historical continuity of a homogeneous people and its timeless character. This people struggles for independence, guided by towering leaders and inspired by the sacrifice of martyrs. Unlike earlier forms of nationalism, the main enemies are no longer neighbouring states, but international and supranational institutions. To use national history as an integrative tool, new nationalists claim that the media and school history curricula should not contest or question the nation and its great historical deeds, as doubts threaten to weaken and dishonour the nation. This book offers a broad international overview of the rhetoric, contents, and contexts of the rise of these renewed national historical narratives, and of how professional historians have reacted to these phenomena. The contributions focus on a wide range of representative nations from around all over the globe.

Dans le contexte de crise de l’Europe et d’interrogations sur son identité historique comme de son avenir, l’ouvrage présente une histoire culturelle des récits d’Europe transmis auprès des jeunes pour en faire des Européens depuis le xxe siècle. A-t-on assisté à l’édification de grands récits européens fédérateurs ou à une multitude de récits plus ou moins convergents, antagonistes, voire concurrentiels ? Dans cette fabrique narrative, quels faits historiques ont été choisis pour être transmis à la jeunesse européenne depuis le xxe siècle ? Sur quelles valeurs communes ces faits ont été évoqués ? Quels acteurs et quels vecteurs ont été engagés dans la construction de ces récits d’Europe ? En prenant des exemples dans différents pays européens tout en prêtant attention aux dynamiques transnationales, l’ouvrage rend compte de la variété des périodes ou figures historiques mobilisées dans ces narrations, de ses vecteurs de transmission (musées, festivals, rencontres sportives, manuels scolaires, littérature jeunesse, musées d’histoire, tourisme), comme de ses acteurs (eurodéputés, enseignants, associations d’éducation populaire, associations sportives, muséographes, et jeunes eux-mêmes).
