Synopsis

The concept of nationalism conjures up feelings of belonging and allegiance, togetherness and protective boundaries, but what of alienation and xenophobia, immigration and asylum? How are social and political conflicts gauged in an age of national and transnational allegiances and identities? Just what is nationalism? This special issue of Women's Studies Quarterly questions what it means to be a citizen in a world haunted by terrorism, racial tension and gender and class exclusion.
