Abstract:
'"The people" can mean many things: it can be a political unit (demos), a cultural entity (ethnos), and a social multitude (pléthos). Modern historian Ove Korsgaard focuses on the crucial struggles over who has (or has not) belonged to the people in the past 175 years and looks at its implications for state- and nation-building in Denmark and other Nordic countries.'--Amazon.com description
