Abstract
516 Reviews Mariage de raison: Romandset Alemaniques, une histoiresuisse. By Christophe Buchi. Trans. by Ursula Gaillard. Carouge-Geneve: Editions Zoe. 2001. 335 pp. SWF36. ISBN 2-88182-441-2. Though by a journalist, this is the work of a historian. Historian of what? Not so much of the languages of Switzerland (there is very little about the languages them? selves, except the relative place of dialect versus the standard form), as of the political relations between the language groups. Almost certainly, as a journalist, Christophe Biichi is principally concerned with the present. In order to explain it, pushing the causal chain furtherand furtherback, he reaches the almost mythical foundation ofthe Swiss Confederation in 1291. Whom will this interest?Well, anybody who knows what rostigrabenis foropeners; all those who have a historical, political, or literary interest either in Switzerland or other multilingual countries (Canada would be an obvious point of comparison, and most of the foreign works listed in the ample bibliography are from Canada/Quebec). There is no unseemly rush for the present, however: the post-First World War period is not reached until page 233 (out of 305 pages of text), and whereas the development and spread ofthe Confederation are dealt with in some detail, as the present draws near, the subsections become shorter and more allusive. Since my own approach to Switzerland has been mainly literary,and it is eminently possible to have a scholarly interest in one of the cultures of Switzerland without much reference to the remainder, I found this book salutary. It did, however, reveal a glaring gap in my knowledge: geography. I am finewith islands (the UK and Ireland are no problem?and even Italy fairlyeasy to steer my way around), but landlocked countries like Hungary, Austria, and .. . Switzerland are a black spot. Until now, I had relied on the banks of the lake to guide me from Geneva to Montreux, and mostly that was enough. Sadly, this book is not abundantly supplied with maps to help the foreign reader: there is one small map showing the current linguistic situation in shades so uncontrasted as to be confusing. Maps showing the growth ofthe Confederation, and tables giving historic populations, forexample, and French-style tableaux de synthese would have been very welcome. There is a certain amount of honest revisionism. The period 1798-1848, often seen as a black period in Swiss history, is also that in which the French-speaking cantons (apart from Fribourg) came into the Confederation as full members, and hence needs some re-evaluation ifits heritage is to be seen as a good thing. Part of the book's aim is to dispel the popular international view of Switzerland as a quiet haven of peace, tolerance, and order. It does not entirely succeed. Never? theless, in recent years the clockwork order of Switzerland has been threatened by a number of referendums in which a clear cleavage between differentlanguage commu? nities can be seen. This is not just a confrontation between the older-language cantons and la Suisse romande but between the Alemanic part of the country and all of the 'Latin' speakers?French, ltalian, and Rhaeto-Romance. The long historical intro? duction leads up to a fairlyspeedy review ofthe results ofthese referendums, revealing, as they predictably do, a greater readiness forinternational engagement in Romandie. The conclusion raises reasons for concern for Switzerland's future. Will Switzerland be Balkanized through a resurgence of ethno-nationalism? Seemingly, and for those of us who love it, not. It is worth recalling that this is a translation of Rostigraben: Das Verhdltniszwischen deutscher und franz osischerSchweiz. Geschichte und Perspektiven (Zurich: NZZ, 2000)?the lumbering German titlegives a hint ofthe underlying problem?and itis a moot point as to whether those who have German would do better with the original; those who are at ease in French might do well to read this version. In any event, it does not 'read translated', and Ursula Gailland's French is a pure delight. Trinity College Dublin David Parris ...
