In new regional history, national states are not seen to play a
special role. Regions are understood as evolutionary processes in
which time and space-history and geography-are connected in
research questions. To illustrate the entanglement of time and
space in various forms and ages, this volume explores regional
history from around the globe. The editor's review of the various
works written under the heading of regional history serves as an
introduction to this theme.This volume shows how historical events
and changes have influenced the reproduction of regions in Czechia;
it will also highlight how regional identities were manifested in a
cultural form in romantic operas of post-Napoleonic Europe. The
historically rich West Wits Line gold-mining region in the West
Rand of South Africa is also examined within a regional-history
framework with the broad theme of ecohealth and well-being. Through
case studies, the volume also explores the history of governance
and planning in New Zealand's largest city-region, Auckland, as
well as the recent economic history of the State of Mato Grosso in
Brazil. Finally, it also brings the idea of regional history to the
most personal level of historical consciousness, by examining the
experiential shaping of home in the broader meaning of Heimat, as a
question of belonging somewhere - both in time and in space.
