Place and national identity are bound together. Attachment to the one is almost always inseparable from the sense of the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet, as this volume shows, the articulated self-conscious linking of place and identity is by and large a modern phenomenon that took root in nineteenth-century Europe. The formation of supranational states and the much vaunted globalization of culture led many to believe there would be a progressive dilution of national identities and a growing agglomeration of places and nations into larger state units. Precisely the reverse has taken place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeography and National Identity\u003c\/em\u003e explores the connections between identity and homeland, showing how a place may be perceived as archetypal, endowed with love and celebrated in music and poetry, yet be a pretext for violence and war. It examines the evolution of ideas about identity and their manifestations in a wide variety of settings, from the former Soviet Union to the island states of the South Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463057490156,"sku":"9780631189367","price":97.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780631189367-geography-and-national-identity.jpg?v=1775027590","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/geography-and-national-identity-9780631189367","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
