Nationalism provides a comprehensive exploration of nationalist
identity, ideology, and practice which centers the geographic
underpinnings of the phenomenon. It unpacks the fundamental
principles and the many variations of this global phenomenon, as it
examines nationalism through a spatial lens. Nationalism is the
dominant political force in the modern world and no other global
ideology is so strongly tied to concepts like territory, homeland,
frontiers, and boundaries. The authors delve into how nationalism
is fundamentally related to territory and place, why mapping is
critical to the nationalist endeavors, the role of performance and
personification, ethnonationalism, multinationalism, nationalist
movements, and how nationalism is evidenced and experienced in
cities and towns throughout the world. These provide a solid
summary of what makes nationalism so compelling, so uniting, and so
dangerous. Nationalism provides a fresh and compelling perspective
on a complicated and often controversial subject. Written in an
accessible and attractive style, the book will be especially useful
for classes in Geography, Global Studies, International Relations,
Political Science, Sociology, History, and Anthropology. It
provides information and conceptual insights to scholars interested
in a concise and sophisticated synthesis of contemporary
nationalism. For casual readers interested in the phenomenon of
nationalism, this book provides clear explanations and compelling
examples.
This comprehensive book examines the crucial connections between
national identity, territory, and scale. Providing a powerful
theoretical and organizational framework, the volume identifies
four ways in which scale operates dynamically in the formation and
maintenance of national identity. Consolidating identities
considers the strategies necessary to keep all parts within the
fold through educational systems, minority policies, immigration
controls, and other forms of traditional state power. Magnifying
identities examines the consequences of shifting the scale up and
unifying territories that have a sense of a larger, supranational
identity. Connecting identities assesses how nations can bridge
physical distance, water barriers, or sovereign boundaries.
Fragmenting identities looks into the disintegration of national
identities and those forces that have the potential to unravel a
nation or block its effective formation. Nationalism and national
identity remain critical flashpoints in the geopolitical order, as
we have seen in the development of a quasi-independent Kurdistan in
Northern Iraq, the resurgence of Native American identities in
response to the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Chinese crackdown
on its minority regions. Offering a rich set of case studies from
around the world, this essential book affirms the global importance
of national identity and scale.

This book presents several perspectives on the COVID-19 crisis as
it impacted the United States, focusing on policies, practices, and
patterns. It considers the relationship between government policies
and neo-liberalism, (anti)federalism, economies of scale, and
material culture. The COVID-19 crisis became the primary current
event in the United States in March 2020 and continued for several
years. In the early days of the crisis, the United States lacked a
cohesive, comprehensive approach to combating its spread. As a
result, the pandemic was experienced differently in different parts
of the United States and at different scales. The chapters in this
volume include both quantitative and qualitative explorations of
the pandemic as it occurred in the United States. Collectively,
they help the reader to better understand this geographically
salient issue and provide lessons to learn from so as to improve
upon responses to crises in the future. This book will be of
interest to students and researchers of Geography, Sociology,
Political Science, and Economics with an interest in United States
and the socio-political effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of Geographical Review.

The 21st century has been called the "century of the city."
Unprecedented and uneven urban growth and expansion coupled with
climate change have compounded concerns that current urbanization
pathways are not sustainable. Calls for scholarship on urban
sustainability among geographers cite strengths in both examining
human-environment interactions and unravelling urbanization
patterns and processes that positioned the discipline to make
unique contributions to critical research needs. Geographic
Perspectives on Urban Sustainability reflects on the contributions
that geographers have made to urban sustainability scholarship on
varied domains such as transportation, green infrastructure, and
gentrification. Contributed chapters probe uniquely geographic
perspectives on urban resilience, environmental justice, political
ecology, and planning that arise from empirically integrating
social and biophysical realms that arise from considering spatial
dimensions of problems like scale- and place-based peculiarities of
phenomena. This book will be of great value to scholars, students,
and policymakers interested in Urban and City Planning, Political
Ecology, and Sustainable Urbanism. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Urban Geography.
This important book provides a novel perspective on ethnicity,
nationality, and race by considering how they are shaped by their
geography. Exploring the complicated terrain of ethnicity through
an expansive global perspective, David H. Kaplan traces the spatial
arrangements that convey such potent meaning to the identity and
opportunities of members of any cultural group. With examples from
around the world, the author considers the most important aspects
of ethnicity-from segregation to place making to multiculturalism,
culture regions, diasporas, and transnationalism. He frames
ethnicity as a contingent phenomenon, showing how context and place
determine the position, definitions, behaviors, and attitudes
toward and by members of an ethnic group. Drawing on an impressive
depth of historical and empirical detail, Kaplan's analysis of the
critical role of ethnicity in everyday geographies makes a major
contribution to the field.

Immigration has expanded dramatically in both traditional and
emerging receiving nations. This worldwide boom has profoundly
altered urban areas as new arrivals have transformed inner cities
and suburbs alike into bastions of new ethnic economic activity.
Examining the essential role of space in assisting and modifying
ethnic business activity, this book considers how ethnic economies
are reshaping the urban landscape in the United States, Britain,
Australia, Canada, Germany, and Italy. Each chapter explores the
significance of urban space and local context in the development of
an ethnic economy and how, in turn, ethnic economies have helped to
recreate urban neighborhoods. With its international scope and rich
case studies, this book will be invaluable for scholars and
students alike in the fields of ethnic studies, urban studies,
economic development, geography, and sociology.

A comprehensive and revealing compilation of essays analyzing the
varied dimensions of national identities and nationalisms across
world regions and through time. The pervasiveness of nationalism,
its many manifestations over the centuries, and the widely
scattered way it has been studied make it a particularly difficult
subject to approach and explore. ABC-CLIO offers the finest
comprehensive reference available on an essential topic in modern
world history. Across four volumes, Nations and Nationalism: A
Global Historical Overview covers all aspects of nationalism, in
all parts of the world, from the time of the French Revolution to
the present day. Nations and Nationalism helps students,
researchers, and other interested readers explore national
identities and nationalistic movements in historical context.
Organized chronologically, its four volumes combine thematic essays
on different characteristics of nationalism with case studies of
key historical developments involving specific nations at specific
times. The encyclopedia focuses on Europe, Latin America, Africa,
and Asia, with featured coverage of nationalist cultural creations,
including literature, music, symbols, and mythologies.
