Migration and the Myth of Homogeneity: Rethinking Ethnicity in 20th-Century European Nation-Building A Note to Readers History, like the present, is fractured. It is assembled not as a mirror, but as a mosaic-composed of contradictions, silences, and fragments. The events that follow do not pretend to offer a single, unbroken narrative. Instead, they attempt to listen carefully to the cacophony of voices that have shaped Europe's past: emperors and peasants, revolutionaries and bureaucrats, prophets and pragmatists. This book spans centuries, yet it seeks to remain anchored in human experience-what it meant to live, believe, resist, and remember across different European ages. Readers may notice shifts in tone, in method, and even in pace; these reflect the varied terrains of the past rather than an editorial inconsistency. Each section was written with the intention of honouring the uniqueness of its time and place. May the reader, whether novice or seasoned, find in these pages not only knowledge but also echoes of questions they've long carried.
