Addressing recent scholarly interest in national identity, this book examines the social practices that give historical meaning, cohesion and uniqueness to national communities. It reveals the diversity of the themes, practices and symbols used to encourage self-identification and communality and explores techniques ranging from the exaltation of heroes to the evocation of landscape.
