Abstract: "National identity and nationalism are social phemomena of increasing importance in contemporary society and politics. Over the past few decades, European identities in particular have been called into question by peripheral nationalisms, the revival of ethnic allegiances, religious communities and the creation of social movements preaching universal values. National identity may be surviving the upheaval, but it is not surviving unchanged." "This work explores the role of Others, nations, ethnic groups and immigrant communities, in the formation and evolution of national identity."
