Reviews
'Historical Tales and National Identity is an important book exploring the nature of individual and collective identity. Laszlo is one of the most thoughtful social psychologists in the world. He draws on basic research in social, cognitive, and clinical psychology to uncover basic truths about the stories people tell about their countries, their history, and themselves. This is a book that will inform discussions among historians, anthropologists, linguists, political scientists, and especially psychologists.' - James W. Pennebaker, University of Texas at Austin, USA 'Professor Laszlo provides an integrated and up-to-date account of the functions of narrative. Drawing comprehensively from cognitive, personality, interpretive, text analysis, and representational studies, Professor Laszlo analyses how narratives produce and are produced by identities. This book is an essential reference for scholars of narrative that brings together scientific and hermeneutical approaches in a readable way. He provides a lively recipe for creating an interdisciplinary science of stories.'- James H. Liu, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
