Myths and Memories of the Nation

This book explores the roots of nationalism by examining the myths, symbols, and memories of the nation through an ethno-symbolic approach. It reveals the continuing power of myth and memory to mobilize, define, and shape people and their destinies. It examines the variety and durability of ethnic attachments and national identities, and assesses the contemporary revival of ethnic conflicts and nationalism.
