Geographies of Renewal

Discover the transformative power of place in "Geographies of Renewal" by Jeremy DeWaal, published by Cambridge University Press in 2025. This insightful hardback edition spans 386 pages and delves into the evolving notions of home and Heimat in West Germany from the aftermath of the Second World War to the pivotal moment of national reunification. DeWaal challenges the prevailing belief that Heimat was a taboo or reactionary concept post-1945. Instead, he uncovers the efforts to redefine this idea in democratic, inclusive, and post-nationalist contexts. Ideal for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, this compelling study invites readers to rethink the significance of cultural identity and belonging in a rapidly changing world.
