About this book

A history of what it meant to be a man, and a citizen of an emerging nation throughout the nineteenth century. This book not only relates how Belgians were taught how to move and fight, but also how they spoke and sang to express masculinity and patriotism.

Reviews

"This book not only takes a novel approach to the history of national citizenship in Belgium; it also achieves a new understanding of public masculinities throughby applying theories of space and sound". - Professor John Tosh, University of Roehampton, UK
