How do nations come into being? And how does a shared past shape different futures?
In „The Reconstruction of Nations”, Timothy Snyder @thetimothysnyder traces the histories of Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine and Belarus, showing that national identities are not fixed or inevitable – they are shaped through history, memory and political choices.
More than twenty years after its original publication, Snyder’s work remains strikingly relevant, offering essential context for understanding Central and Eastern Europe today.
This new Polish edition, published by @borderland.pogranicze with the support of the @efc.edu.pl Czernecki Educational Foundation, reflects a shared commitment to fostering thoughtful public debate, historical understanding and dialogue across borders. For many years, the EFC and the Borderland Foundation have worked together to strengthen education in the humanities and support initiatives that encourage critical reflection on the region’s complex past and its contemporary challenges.
