Nationalism, Patriotism, Ancient and Modern - An Interdisciplinary Approach (Hardcover)

Previous studies of nationalism have focused on theoretical models, specific themes or narrow historical periods. This collection addresses national identity from an interdisciplinary stance and across a long chronological narrative, from ancient Troy to twentieth-century Wales. Contributors come from a range of disciplines covering the humanities and social and political sciences. Together they argue that collective identity is formed from a complex series of political, social and cultural contexts which evolves and changes.
