The book explores the impact of German unification in 1871 on migrants outside the newly formed Empire, highlighting how they redefined their connections to their homeland. It examines the emergence of a transnational "community of spirit" among Germans, emphasizing the role of public discourse in constructing an imagined, homogeneous diaspora. The narrative illustrates how the concept of the "Greater German Empire" transcended mere ideology, influencing migrants' national belonging and ethnic identity in profound ways.
