Interest in the study of national identity as a collective
phenomenon is a growing concern among the social and political
sciences. This book addresses the scholarly interest in examining
the origins of ideologies and social practices that give historical
meaning, cohesion and uniqueness to modern national communities. It
focuses on the various routes taken towards the construction of
cultural authenticity as an inspirational purpose of
nation-building and reveals the diversity of the themes, practices
and symbols used to encourage self-identification and communality.
Among the techniques explored are the dramatization of suffering
and tragedy, the exaltation of heroes and deeds, the evocation of
landscape, nature and the arts and the delimitation of collective
values to be pursued during reconstruction in post-war periods.
