7 e Institute of British Geographers Special Publication Series This volume of especially commissioned essays explores the geography of-and the role of geography in - national and proto-national identity. Place and national identity are bound together. Attachment to the one is almost always inseparable from the sense of the other. Yet, 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 supra-national 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. The contributors to this book explore the connections between identity and homeland. They show 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. They examine the evolution of ideas about identity and their manifestation in a wide variety of settings, from the former Soviet Union to the island states of the South Pacific. Resurgent national identities and their homelands - and the problems associated with their realization - have been and will be with us for a long time: this book throws light on what they are, what they mean, and how they came to be. has been Professor of Geography at Berkeley since He was formerly Chairman of the Department and of the Center for Slavic East European Studies, as well as serving for several years as Dean of Social Sciences.
