Description
Nationalism provides a comprehensive exploration of nationalist identity, ideology, and practice, focusing on its geographic underpinnings. This book delves into the fundamental principles and variations of nationalism, examining it through a spatial lens to understand how it is tied to concepts like territory, homeland, frontiers, and boundaries. The authors explore how nationalism is connected to territory and place, the role of mapping in nationalist endeavors, performance and personification, ethnonationalism, multinationalism, nationalist movements, and its presence in cities and towns worldwide. This nuanced perspective offers a fresh understanding of a complex and often contentious subject. Suitable for scholars and casual readers alike, this book provides clear explanations and compelling examples to help grasp the phenomenon of nationalism.
