The Austrian Nation. Cultural Consciousness and Socio-Political Processes By Ernst Bruckmüller, Translated and with an Afterword by Lowell A. Bangerter

Through historical analysis and evaluation of social research, Ernst Bruckmüller examines a broad variety of factors that have contributed to the evolution of modern Austria as a uniquely defined political, cultural, and social entity. The resulting study not only presents a detailed portrait of Austria, its inhabitants in their historical context, and the nation's role in Europe and the world, but also a wealth of reference information pertaining to every detail of Austrian life.
