The essays during this ebook study the function of heritage and reminiscence in shaping the transnational Huguenot diaspora. They discover the impression of Huguenot ?©migr?©s at the societies during which they settled and particularly the best way that Huguenot historical past, and collective reminiscence of that background, formed the relationships among the Huguenots and their host groups. The essays exhibit how a Huguenot identification was once preserved, re-shaped, and manipulated, either through the descendants of the unique Huguenots and one of the broader groups during which they settled. The essays additionally exhibit how the collective reminiscence of the Huguenot earlier that had emerged between eu and American Protestants performed a severe function within the transformation of Huguenot identification over 4 centuries. members contain H.
