Journal of Contemporary European Studies Nationalism provides an
indispensable review of the study of nationalism that both introduces
and critically positions all the main issues, theories and
contemporary debates. Drawing upon and introducing a wide range of
literatures from across politics, sociology, history, social
anthropology and cultural studies, the authors seek to further
challenge fixed notions of national identity, ethnicity and culture to
more fully explore and understand the contemporary complexities of
citizenship and the genuine potential for a cosmopolitan democracy.
The text surveys both classical and contemporary approaches including
those from within feminism, postmodernism, postcolonialism and
globabalization studies. It will be essential reading for all students
and academics seeking a deeper understanding of nationalism and
national identity today.
