"Like national identity, national days involve a process of
'othering', saying who you are, as much as who you are not. If some
countries (such as Scotland and Ireland) celebrate them far more
strongly than their neighbour, England, why is that? Why is there
no British day? Why should near-neighbours, Sweden, Norway and
Finland, have such different traditions of national remembering?
What if a national day and its associations are so tied into a
previous political regime that they have become an embarrassment?
Germany, Italy and South Africa have undergone radical political
changes in the last 60 years, and with these, complex processes of
forgetting and remembering. If national days have considerable
political significance, whether positive or negative, they are also
of major economic worth. Just as 'heritage' is not simply a matter
of history, but of markets, so 'national days' have the potential
to be major icons of national tourism. "--Book cover.
