Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS 177 that fin-de-siecle Vienna was home to the largest Czech-speaking community in the world and was also a center of Jewish culture. The role of sports in defining and as- similating the empire's many ethnic groups is part of the history of Austrian sports and should be acknowledged and assessed by its chroniclers. Claire Nolte Manhattan College Romsics, Ignac, and Bela K. Kiraly, eds . Geopolitics in the Danube Region: Hun- garian Reconciliation Efforts, 1848-1998. Vol. 97 of Atlantic Studies on Society in Change. Budapest and New York: Central European University Press, 1999. Pp. xi, 413, tables, maps. The editors of Geopolitics in the Danube Region have succeeded in bringing together a fine collection of essays. However, the main title should have been "Ethnopolitics in the Danube Region," because very little of the content focuses on the geopolitical as- pects of interethnic relations.
