Description
Reimagining the Nation: Togetherness, Belonging and Mobility By Claire Sutherland This book challenges traditional notions of nationhood by exploring alternative ways of thinking about togetherness and belonging. Drawing on scholarship from Pacific Asia and Europe, it examines how mobility can be a more inclusive approach than rootedness in understanding national identity. Sutherland critiques the positive connotations of British patriotism and UK politics' anti-immigrant discourse, arguing that these reinforce narrow binaries and vocabularies of belonging based on ethnonational and racialised categorisations. Instead, she offers a constructive agenda for critical nationalism studies, one that prioritises mobility over rootedness.
