From the 1860s onward, Habsburg Hungary attempted a massive project of cultural assimilation
to impose a unified national identity on its diverse populations. In one of the more
quixotic episodes in this "Magyarization," large monuments were erected near small
towns commemorating the medieval conquest of the Carpathian Basin-supposedly, the
moment when the Hungarian nation was born. This exactingly researched study recounts
the troubled history of this plan, which-far from cultivating national pride-provoked
resistance and even hostility among provincial Hungarians. Author Balint Varga thus
reframes the narrative of nineteenth-century nationalism, demonstrating the complex
relationship between local and national memories
