Provides fresh insights for students and scholars of sociology, political science, social policy, and communication, gender and migration studies
Demonstrates how ideologies of gender, sexuality and nationalism are constructed differently depending on specific geo-political, social, and historical factors
Sets the agenda for a new wave of research on gendered nationalism with its attention to the fluidity and contradictions of nationalist projects

“The impressive range of case studies included in this collection highlight the complex but intimate relationships that exist, in variable ways, in different nationalist political projects. It points out how notions of masculinity and femininity, sexuality and belonging construct – in shifting and contested ways which vary temporarily and spatially – the boundaries of these nationalisms. An important contribution to the field of nationalism studies.” (Nira Yuval-Davis, Professor and Director of the Centre for Research on Migration, Refugees and Belonging (CMRB), University of East London, UK)
“In the critical juncture of the Great Regression, nationalist types of identification have increased in spread and intensity. From the Brexit to the Catalan crisis, renewed calls for separatism, national symbols and narratives have acquired relevance, challenging the expectations of a linear trend towards cosmopolitan visions. Focusing on the interaction between gender and nationalism, this very timely volume contributes to our understanding of the diversity and fluidity of various nationalist projects.” (Donatella Della Porta, Professor of Political Science and Dean of the Institute for Humanities and the Social Sciences, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy)
