“…Para as pessoas negras fora dos Estados Unidos, a orientação para os míticos "supernegros" norte-americanos torna-se uma forma de elas se diferenciarem dos brancos locais, ao mesmo tempo reivindicando a participação negra na "modernidade" e nos rituais de consumo em massa (Vianna, 19 88;Sansone, 1992b). Para muitas subculturas étnicas no mundo inteiro, o uso ostensivo de símbolos comumente associados à cultura norte-americana pode se um modo de adquirir prestígio (Schlesinger, 1987).…”

Com base em 15 anos de pesquisa na Bahia, no Rio, no Suriname e na Holanda, Livio Sansone indaga sobre as formas específicas que "raça" e etnicidade assumem no Brasil e no resto da América Latina. Ele compara as concepções latino-americanas de "raça" com as concepções dominantes nas ciências sociais, centradas em contextos determinados por identidades branco-negro claramente definidas, formuladas na base da situação dos Estados Unidos e da Europa do Noroeste. Sansone sugere que o estudo de noções de identidade e cultura mais complexas e até "ambíguas", certamente contribui para uma compreensão mais universal das tensões etno-raciais e de por que o pensamento racial continua tão forte. Ele também investiga os efeitos da globalização sobre as diferentes construções da noção de raça.

“…Accepted as a specific form of collective identity the national identity represents a dynamic system of social relations and representations (Schlesinger, 1987). This system is founded by a shared interactive sense of "we-ness", based on perceptions and feelings 'of a common cause, threat, or fate' and 'collective agency', that 'motivate people to act together' (Snow, 2001).…”

This article is based on data of empirical research in four border regions of Russia. We try to reveal the new trends in youth's national identity through the analysis of social identifications, interpretations of patriotism and patriotic actions. We conclude that youth's national identity comprises traditional and modern traits, proving its nature as social construct, reproduced and shaped trough public political discourse and everyday practices. While national civic identification takes the central place in the youth identification hierarchy, young people feel more cosmopolitan than elderly people and give a special meaning to their own cultural and ethno-confessional identities. Their patriotic representations are transformed under worldwide mobility and influence of politically oriented actions; they diverge from understanding of patriotism of other generations, the result is the lower self-evaluation of patriotic feelings, which have become more abstract and less associated with concrete actions and deeds.

“…They are closely linked to specific cultural codes of style of dress and behaviour as well as to more elaborate bodies of customs, literary and artistic modes of production, and, of course, language. These 'border guards' are used as shared cultural resources and, together with shared collective positioning vis-a-vis other collectivities, they can provide the collectivity members not only with the Andersonian 'Imagined Communities', but also with what Deutch 44 and Schlesinger 45 call "Communicative Communities": "Membership in a people consists in wide complementarity of social communication. It consists in the ability to communicate more effectively, and over a wider range of subjects, with members of one large group than with outsiders" 46 .…”

Summary This article propose a typology of the ideologies underwriting nationalist projects and seeks to show that ethnic divisions, based on "race" and nation, do not constitute mutually exclusive categories. It distinguishes between nationalisms predicated on biological origin, culture, and religion. It follows with a discussion of nationalism based on the ideologies of multiculturalism or cultural pluralism. Finally, it treats the themes of nationalism and citizenship, arguing that in western nation-states constructed around a universalist notion of citizenship, issues pertaining to immigration and racism serve to delineate the borders of citizenship.
