While this is a thought-provoking and useful piece, and which follows from the editors’ opening contributions, it does rather stand alone from the core chapters that precede it. Overall, this useful, informative and accessible collection succeeds in making us more aware of the many ways in which national identity is negotiated within and across spatial scales and how those spaces themselves are never neatly defined or separate. The various contributions show that multilayered national identities entail both looking forward while simultaneously harking back to capture ideas of national authenticity with which people can somehow identify. In so doing, the national co-exists both alongside and above other local or regional identities.","PeriodicalId":45917,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL IDENTITIES","volume":"24 1","pages":"86 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14608944.2021.1954786","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48133690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most used bywords has been ‘carbon footprint’, a concept with a moral appeal to global responsibility and a sense of global environmental togetherness. However, ‘carbon footprint responsibility’ cannot be separated from nationalistically loaded affects and their representations but instead it has effected new articulations that support state-centric ideologies, offering a fresh starting point for re-conceptualizing the theories of nationalism. This article analyses how the Finnish media constructs a contradictory discourse in which the moral debate over carbon footprint responsibility merges with nationalistically loaded argumentation.","PeriodicalId":45917,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL IDENTITIES","volume":"24 1","pages":"429 - 446"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14608944.2021.1937974","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43223602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By utilising transcripted interviews from eighty respondents, this research uncovers and presents the core perceptions and understandings that these young people have about British national identity and the ways in which it is accommodated (or not) alongside other important sources of belonging in their lives. This paper presents the diverse ways in which these young people understand Britishness. In particular, ‘thick' and ‘thin’ conceptualisations of Britishness and the role of family structures in shaping belonging are examined. It is suggested that any discussion of how ethnic minorities relate to national identity requires a better understanding of the diverse ways in which this form of identity is understood and accommodated. This, in turn, will encourage a more inclusive and productive debate on the role of national identity in multi-cultural Britain. This is particularly salient in a post-Brexit Britain where the themes of nationality and belonging have been brought into the socio-political fore once more, and newer immigrants are facing the challenges of feeling included and becoming British.","PeriodicalId":45917,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL IDENTITIES","volume":"24 1","pages":"393 - 412"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14608944.2021.1935836","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42631989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
