description: In recent years the issue of identity has come to occupy the centre of political, sociological, anthropological and cultural studies. Nationality is not the only identity-defining contemporary discourse, even if it is now one of the most dominant ones. But, whatever avenues are opened up in the exploration of contemporary identities, whether in the name of nations, humanities, classes, races, cultures, ethnicities, genders, or social movements, they remain constrained by ontological, political and discursive options expressed in claims about the sovereignty of territorial states.
