Title: Immigrants and national identity in Europe
First published: 2001
Description: "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."

"Scholars and students of Sociology and Social Psychology, particularly those working in the fields of Nationalism and Ethnicity, Ethnic and Race Relations, Immigration Studies, Comparative Sociology, Southern European Politics and International Relations, will find this work pivotal in ascribing importance to the Other in national identity."--Jacket.
