This edited collection explores the continuing appeal of
nationalism around the world. The authors' ground-breaking research
demonstrates the ways in which national priorities and
sensibilities frame an extraordinary array of activities, from
classroom discussions and social media posts to global
policy-making, as well as identifying the value that can come from
feeling part of a national community, especially during times of
economic uncertainty and social change. They also note how
attachments to nation can often generate powerful emotions,
happiness and pride as well as anger and frustration, which can be
used to mobilize substantial numbers of people into action.
Featuring contributions from leading social scientists across a
range of disciplines, including sociology, geography, political
science, social psychology, media and cultural studies, the book
presents a number of case studies covering a range of countries
including Russia, Germany, New Zealand, Serbia, Japan, Azerbaijan,
Greece and the USA. Everyday Nationhood will appeal to students and
scholars of nationalism, globalization and identity across the
social sciences as well as those with an interest in understanding
the role of nationalism in shaping some of the most pressing
political crises- migration, economic protectionism, populism - of
the contemporary era.
This cross-disciplinary edited collection presents an integrated
