商品簡介
Exploring the diversity of European states, nations, and peoples, the 17 essays in this volume examine the formation and evolution of national identity in Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and the former Yugoslavia, analyzing the elements of their national identities and various themes of national self-understanding, such as myths, historical experiences and traumas, values, ethnic and linguistic differences, and religions, as well as how national identities continue to be sources of contention and are challenged and reconstituted by political developments, the demands of immigrants and minorities, and the dynamics of European integration. The book does not present a comprehensive overview of the development of national identities or theoretical approaches to their study. Contributors are European studies, political science, and other scholars from Europe, Hong Kong, Australia, and the US. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
