National Identity. Between Discourse and Practice

Maria de Fátima Amante (coord.)

There has been a real discursive explosion in recent years around the concept of identity. Few aspects of contemporary life have attracted so much attention from philosophers, historians and experts in the Social and Human sciences. The recognition of identity, cultural identity, national identity, the construction and affirmation of identity, “identity territoriality”, a source of violence and insurmountable demands, the identity crisis, these are some of the themes/problems of International Relations, Law , Culture, Politics, History and Sociology that this book addresses, with the collaboration of renowned Portuguese and foreign experts.
