Radical Left Parties and National Identity in Spain, Italy and Portugal: Rejecting or Reclaiming the Nation
“Radical Left Parties and National Identity in Spain, Italy and Portugal offers a rich and nuanced analysis of the relation between the radical Left and the nation. Custodi’s sharp analysis sheds light on the complexities of the diverse positions of the radical Left towards the nation and of the historical and contemporary explanations for these positions. This elegantly written book is a must-read for anyone interested in the radical left or nationalist politics.” (Benjamin de Cleen, Professor, Communication Studies Department, Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Belgium)
“Understanding the complex and changing relations progressive actors have with the conception of the nation and the practices of nationalism is all the more relevant in our intense times. Focusing on the ways in which left-wing parties in Italy, Portugal and Spain conceptualize national identities, this important volume discusses the structural and conjunctural factors that influence different discourses around the nation.” (Donatella della Porta, Founding Dean of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy, and Director of Centre of Social Movements Studies (COSMOS))
