[ecrea] New Book: Everyday Nationhood: Theorising Culture, Belonging & Identity After Banal Nationalism

Everyday Nationhood is a new edited collection just released by Palgrave 
and featuring contributions from Mick Billig, Craig Calhoun, Melissa 
Aroncyzk, Bart Bonikowski, Atsuko Ichijo and host of other talented 
scholars from around the world.


Here's the blurb;

The authors’ ground-breaking research demonstrates the ways in which 
national priorities and sensibilities frame an extraordinary array of 
activities, from classroom discussions and social media posts to global 
policy-making, as well as identifying the value that can come from 
feeling part of a national community, especially during times of 
economic uncertainty and social change.  They also note how attachments 
to nation can often generate powerful emotions, happiness and pride as 
well as anger and frustration, which can be used to mobilize substantial 
numbers of people into action.


Featuring contributions from leading social scientists across a range of 
disciplines, including sociology, geography, political science, social 
psychology, media and cultural studies, the book presents a number of 
case studies covering a range of countries including Russia, USA, New 
Zealand, Serbia, Japan and Greece.

/Everyday Nationhood/ will appeal to students and scholars of 
nationalism, globalization and identity across the social sciences as 
well as those with an interest in understanding the role of nationalism 
in shaping some of the most pressing political crises- migration, 
economic protectionism, populism - of the contemporary era.
