Overview
This groundbreaking work explores the vital importance of territory and space to any genuine understanding of nationalism and identity. Too often, the contributors argue, national identity is analyzed apart from the lands that are integral to its formation, as territory is seen as a commodity to be brokered rather than as central to a group's self-definition. This volume combines theoretical insights with structured case studies on how national identity manifests itself in space and at different geographical scales.Author Biography: Guntram H. Herb is assistant professor of geography at Middlebury College. David H. Kaplan is assistant professor of geography at Kent State University.
