| Sommario/riassunto: | A staple of postwar academic writing, "nationalism" is a contentious and often unanalyzed abstraction. It is generally treated as something "imagined," "fashioned," and "disseminated,"as an idea located in the mind, in printed matter, on maps, in symbols such as flags and anthems, and in collective memory. Between Frontiers restores the nation to the social field from which it hasbeen abstracted by looking at how the concept shapes the existenceof people in border zones, where they live between nations. Noboru Ishikawa grounds his discussion of border zone |
