This book provides original insight into the way we now engage and
remember national history. Drawing on fieldwork and analysis of
international case studies on state commemoration, memorialization,
recreational and tourism and times of disaster and crisis, the
author demonstrates that not only does the nation frequently retain
a strong cultural relevance in our global world but that the
emergence of new forms of ritual and remembrance means that in many
instances we are seeing the re-enchantment of nationalism. Drawing
upon and developing an empirically informed cultural sociology, the
author charts the distinctive qualities of these new national rites
and how they feed into and advance particular cosmopolitan and
orthodox national politics. Because social science has so often
wrongly assumed the end of nationalism, the insights of this of the
book about the possibilities and limitations of contemporary
nationalism demand serious consideration by academics and also by
policy makers and the general public.
