In seven contributions, US and European historians many of art or architecture dispute the notion that the difference of place called the vernacular was an inevitable victim of spatial modernization, and suggest that despite its virtual absence from theory of the modern, the vernacular lived on as a strong subcurrent of modern praxis. They point out the role of the vernacular in some of modernity's characteristic sites and buildings, both real and imagined. Editors Hüppauf (German, New York U.) and Umbach (modern European history, U. of Manchester, UK) provide an introduction in which they discuss the meaning of the "dubious concept embodied in the German word Heimat (native place)."
