Reviews
' A penetrating study of the ambivalences of contemporary national identities, and their negotiation under processes of globalization. Karner explores lucidly the discourses of national identity articulated in contemporary Austria, and contextualizes this by reference to Austria's social, cultural, and political history. The analysis is highly engaging, and the book should garner widespread interdisciplinary interest.' Joseph Burridge, University of Portsmouth, UK 'At a time when tensions are brimming between globalization, mass migration, multiculturalism and nationalism, Christian Karner's analysis is a welcome one. This book offers a bold critique of simplistic assumptions not only about Austria, but also about Europe: of how and to what effect identities are negotiated, protected and fought over. Karner's masterful analysis is an invaluable resource for understanding how globalization, the past and the other reveal the complexities of everyday life, politics and culture.'
