Title: National Identity and Geopolitical Visions
Description: From the Third Reich to Bosnia, nationalism - a sense of a nation's place in the world - has shaped the map of the world. National Identity and Geopolitical Visions locates myths of national identity, both popular and elite, and analyses their value in creating pride, deflecting fear and legimizing aggression. An extraordinary range of essays - on Britain, the United States, Germany, Russia, Iraq, Serbia, Argentina, Australia and India - illustrates the different manifestations of the geographical imagination across the countries of the world. Together, these essays reveal what is most enduring in these visions and how they continue to shape the world at the end of the Twentieth Century.
