The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (15691795) was once the largest country in Europea multicultural republic that was home to Belarusians, Germans, Jews, Lithuanians, Poles, Ruthenians, Tatars, Ukrainians, and other ethnic and religious groups. Although long since dissolved, the Commonwealth remains a rich resource for mythmaking in its descendent modern-day states, but also a source of contention between those with different understandings of its history. _Multicultural Commonwealth_ brings together the expertise of world-renowned scholars in a range of disciplines to present perspectives on both the Commonwealths historical diversity and the memory of this diversity. With cutting-edge research on the intermeshed histories and memories of different ethnic and religious groups of the Commonwealth, this volume asks how various contemporary conceptions of multiculturalism can be applied to the region through a critical lens that also seeks to understand the past on its own terms. **PRAISE** "_Multicultural Commonwealth: Poland-Lithuania and Its Afterlives_ strikes a good balance between detail and overview. . . contributing to a genuine revival of interest in the history of the Commonwealth and all the post-Polish-Lithuanian states." ~EuropeNow "The main virtue of this volume is the successful collaboration of scholars from Germany, the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Poland, and the United States from the disciplines of art history, history, literature, and sociology; they add new and often unconventional perspectives to our understanding of the regions early modern past and make it accessible to scholars who are not outright experts of this period." ~H-Soz-Kult
