Norge - et lite stykke verdenshistorie

A wonderful anti-nationalist “mythbuster” book which deconstructs every major myth of the Norwegian nationalist historical narrative while promoting a view of history based on the idea of “The world in Norway and Norway in the world.”

I was particularly fond of the sections on Danish rule in Norway and the “1800s battle for Norway's soul.”

The efforts of this book mirror attempts being made by historians all over the world to confront nationalist narratives.
