International Studies Review

The value of this book is beyond doubt. In an inextricably complex world, where nationalisms tend to be a cornerstone in geopolitics, fluid notions of territory, nation and identity need to be addressed. Where the volume most successful is in weaving together wholly different place contexts around clear-cut lens of investigation. Accordingly, every chapter places scale and identity at its centre in a thought-provoking way. The structure of the book is well-balanced, and the easy-to-read case studies have the potential (and even the danger) to sustain the interest for quite a long time. This comprehensive volume will surely serve as a point of departure for anyone who is interested in geographies of identity.

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin

The appeal of . . . Scaling Identities: Nationalism and Territory should extend not only to political geographers, but a range of scholars interested in the relationship between identity and territory. Beyond its sophisticated discussion of scale as a dynamic process and its textured case studies proffered by a roster of experts, the editors demonstrate the sort of self-reflexive scholarship that all should pursue. . . . In doing so, they compose a rich and well-structured collection of essays pertaining to varied scalar negotiations of territory and identity in the world today. . . . The result is an exceptionally readable and insightful volume that should serve as a catalyst of future research both within the discipline of geography and beyond.
