Devenue française en 1532, la Bretagne n'a jamais cessé d'être elle-même. Son identité s'impose, par-delà les lieux communs, de la «Celtie» idéalisée des druides et des chevaliers du Graal, jusqu'à Bécassine. Dans ce livre-somme, Joël Cornette, Breton et historien, retrace l'aventure mouvementée d'un territoire singulier, depuis ses plus lointaines origines jusqu'à l'aube du XXIe siècle. Voici la Bretagne restituée, «en majesté»: des menhirs de Carnac à la fin du dernier millénaire, en passant par les effervescences de 1789; de l'ère viking à la «révolution verte» de l'agriculture; de la grande à la petite histoire, avec la foule des Bretons anonymes mais aussi les personnages illustres, les ruptures fondatrices comme les révolutions silencieuses, vécues au quotidien. Ce livre ne s'inscrit pas dans la lignée du nationalisme régional; il ne réduit pas non plus l'histoire de l'Armorique à un simple sous-ensemble de la «nation France». À l'heure d'une Europe ouverte et plurielle, cette province si ancienne, passionnément bretonne et éminemment française, offre le modèle politique inédit d'une alliance apaisée entre région, nation et continent.

In Germany, Nazi ideology casts a long shadow over the history of archaeological interpretation. Propaganda, school curricula, and academic publications under the regime drew spurious conclusions from archaeological evidence to glorify the Germanic past and proclaim chauvinistic notions of cultural and racial superiority. But was this powerful and violent version of the distant past a nationalist invention or a direct outcome of earlier archaeological practices? By exploring the myriad pathways along which people became familiar with archaeology and the ancient past-from exhibits at local and regional museums to the plotlines of popular historical novels-this broad cultural history shows that the use of archaeology for nationalistic pursuits was far from preordained. In Germany's Ancient Pasts, Brent Maner offers a vivid portrait of the development of antiquarianism and archaeology, the interaction between regional and national history, and scholarly debates about the use of ancient objects to answer questions of race, ethnicity, and national belonging. While excavations in central Europe throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries fed curiosity about the local landscape and inspired musings about the connection between contemporary Germans and their "ancestors," antiquarians and archaeologists were quite cautious about using archaeological evidence to make ethnic claims. Even during the period of German unification, many archaeologists emphasized the local and regional character of their finds and treated prehistory as a general science of humankind. As Maner shows, these alternative perspectives endured alongside nationalist and racist abuses of prehistory, surviving to offer positive traditions for the field in the aftermath of World War II. A fascinating investigation of the quest to turn pre- and early history into history, Germany's Ancient Pasts sheds new light on the joint sway of science and politics over archaeological interpretation.
