“…That is, in a country where there is a history of violent nationalism, participants consider that performances must be managed to ensure that the divisive and difficult elements of nationalism do not materialise. The desire to avoid appearing divisive fits with literature suggesting that exclusive or ethnic nationalism is viewed as unpalatable in Western democratic nations (Billig, ; Binks & Ferguson, ; Brubaker, ). Moreover, the aversion to confirming negative national stereotypes is in line with previous findings suggesting that British people find negative national stereotypes embarrassing and dislike the notion of potentially confirming them (Fenton, ).…”

“…To those in Western democratic nations, nationalism, and in particular overt identification with one's own nation, is often associated with triumphalism and ethnocentrism (Binks & Ferguson, ; Fenton, ).

“…If investigative light is seldom shone on the personal histories of first-generation Northern Irish migrants in Britain, an unknown number of whom melted into the social mainstream, then the lives, attitudes and identities of their sons and daughters are even more in shadow. Whereas there is a considerable array of scholarship on the disparate discourses and practices that inform the outlook and identities of the British-born offspring of emigrants from the Irish Republic, the distinctive histories and positionalities of their Northern Irish counterparts have been little studied [8][9][10]. The scholarly neglect of this second-generation cohort has, we contend, resulted in an incomplete historical record and impeded awareness and understanding of a more diverse gamut of identity positions.…”

“…In the last two centuries, we have witnessed a large-scale migration, which is impacting the social identity and behavior of individuals. An important focus is represented by the diasporic identities that are simultaneously local and global, leading to transnational identifications (Binks & Ferguson, 2014 ). During global situations, such as the one related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the social identity becomes salient, which might lead to a phenomenon named outgroup bias, represented by prejudice against outgroups (Jacoby-Senghor et al, 2015 ; Ratliff & Nosek, 2011 ).…”
