About this book
Reviews
“This unique and engaging book provides fresh insights into our understanding of national identity. Drawing on extensive primary research, Sophie Williams develops a robust and stimulating critique of nationalism—emphasizing, in particular, how attention to framing methodologies and techniques work to calibrate nationalist sentiment. The text details these ideas through a deep comparison of two ‘stateless nations’—Wales and the Basque Country—and offers a clear lens on debates concerning identity at peripheries.” (Cillian McGrattan, School of Applied Social and Policy Studies, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland)
“This book makes a fantastic contribution to our understanding of Welsh and Basque national identity and, indeed, to the study of national identity generally. It combines fresh and compelling primary research with rigorous theoretical grounding—making it a must read for scholars and interested observers in this field.” (Matthew Wall, Department of Political and Cultural Studies, Swansea University, UK)Authors and Affiliations
