ABSTRACT
This edited volume is composed of a number of chapters that are concerned broadly with questions of nationalism and constructions of national identities. This is a theme that we have covered in some depth in Ethnic and Racial Studies over the past four decades, both through the publication of key theoretical papers and through case studies of nationalism in specific nation-states and geopolitical environments. It is also a field of scholarship and research that has grown in importance over the past few decades, along with the revival of nationalist movements and ideologies in various parts of the globe (Brubaker et al., 2006; Calhoun, 2007a).
