Opis

This title was first published in 2002. Most nation states in Europe have undergone dramatic social and political upheaval with the construction of new or the redefinition of existing national borders. This book uses discourse analytical methods to focus on and unravel the complex cultural identities of people living in communities that straddle the border stretching from the Adriatic to the Baltic Sea.
