Title: Self and nation
Description: "Does each nation have its own unique national identity? How are national identities defined? And how do these definitions shape what individuals think and how they act together?" "In Self and Nation, the authors address these questions in depth and provide a new analysis of the psychology of nationhood. They use this to address key theoretical issues surrounding the relationship between social categorization and collective action." "Self and Nation constitutes essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers in social psychology, politics, sociology and social anthropology. It will also be of interest to a more general readership interested in the themes of nationalism, of national identity and of mass social influence."--Jacket.
