The German Empire of 1871, although unified politically, remained deeply divided along religious lines. In German Nationalism and Religious Conflict, Helmut Walser Smith offers the first social, cultural, and political history of this division. He argues that Protestants and Catholics lived in different worlds, separated by an "invisible boundary" of culture, defined as a community of meaning.As these worlds came into contact, they also came into conflict. Smith explores the local as well as the national dimensions of this conflict, illuminating for the first time the history of the Protestant League as well as the dilemmas involved in Catholic integration into a national culture defined primarily by Protestantism.The author places religious conflict within the wider context of nation-building and nationalism. The ongoing conflict, conditioned by a long history of mutual intolerance, was an integral part of the jagged and complex process by which Germany became a modern, secular, increasingly integrated nation. Consequently, religious conflict also influenced the construction of German national identity and the expression of German nationalism. Smith contends that in this religiously divided society, German nationalism did not simply smooth over tensions between two religious groups, but rather provided them with a new vocabulary for articulating their differences. Nationalism, therefore, served as much to divide as to unite German society.Originally published in 1995.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

In maart 1900 wordt in het Duitse stadje Konitz (nu in Polen gelegen) aan de oever van een meer het lichaam gevonden van een achttienjarige jongen. Hij is vermoord en in stukken gesneden. Al gauw gaan er geruchten dat de jongen het slachtoffer is geworden van een joodse rituele moord. Volgens een aloude mythe hebben joden voor het paasfeest christelijk bloed nodig om matzes te maken. Als de christelijke slager de joodse slager ervan beschuldigt de jongen geslacht te hebben, wakkert dat een golf van antisemitische gevoelens aan. De joodse bevolking van Konitz wordt belasterd, beschimpt en bedreigd - en in het kielzog van de slager ontvlucht in de volgende twee jaar bijna de helft van de joden de stad. Het verhaal van de slager is geschreven als een detectiveverhaal, waarin het tot het einde spannend blijft wat de ware toedracht is van de moord. Tegelijk is het een onderzoek naar de historische verzinsels rondom de joodse rituele moord, en laat het zien hoe weinig er nodig is om latente gevoelens van onvrede om te zetten in daden van haat en verderf.
