Studies in Modernity and National Identity examine the relationships
among
modernity, the nation-state, and nationalism as these have evolved in the
19th and 20th centuries. Titles in this interdisciplinary and
transregional series also illuminate how the nation-state is being
undermined by the forces of globalization, international migration,
electronic information flow, as well as resurgent ethnic and religious
affiliations. These books highlight historical parallels and
continuities while documenting the social, cultural and spatial
expressions through which modern national identities have been
constructed, contested, and reinvented.
