Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Central to the methodological focus of this group of 10 essays is the observation by editor G<:o>cek that "nationalism is constituted through the constant negotiation of its boundaries by including some groups, meanings, and practices, and excluding others." Weaving together observations from Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and Iran. The material is organized into three sections that examine the construction of narratives of nationalism, the role of gender in the construction of nationalism, and the way nationalism is represented in cultural media. Specific topics include the racial base of Turkish nationalism, the contested nationalisms of Egyptian film, and women's literary constructions as a response to the failure of state nationalism in Lebanon.
