Geopolitica, Identidade E
Utilizando os instrumentos que a nova geografia política oferece, Joan Nogué Font, catedrático em Geografia Humana da Universidade de Girona (Espanha), e Joan Vicente Rufí, professor titular de Geografia Humana da mesma universidade, analisam temasessenciais da geografia contemporânea, como o papel do Estado-Nação tradicional ante o crescente protagonismo das entidades supraestatais e subestatais, a dimensão territorial da nova economia e das novas tecnologias, a aparição de novos territórios e novos agentes sociais e políticos e, como não poderia deixar de ser, a questão ambiental. Se dedicam, em suma, ao estudo do fenômeno da globalização, do processo de formação das diversas identidades coletivas e da complexa trama que os relaciona. ́Geopolítica, identidade e globalização ́ é uma obra escrita e estruturada para estudantes de qualquer área das ciências sociais (geografia, relações internacionais, sociologia, economia, ciências políticas, história, antropologia, entre outras) e também para leitores que estejam interessados em compreender a transformação do mundo ao seu redor.

Geography and National Identity
This volume of especially commissioned essays explores the geography of, and the role of geography in, national and proto-national identity. Place and national identity are bound together. Attachment to the one is almost always inseparable from the sense of the other. Yet, as this volume shows, the articulated self-conscious linking of place and identity is by and large a modern phenomenon that took root in nineteenth-century Europe. The formation of supranational states and the much vaunted globalization of culture led many to believe there would be a progressive dilution of national identities and a growing agglomeration of places and nations into larger state units. Precisely the reverse has taken place. This book explores the connections between identity and homeland, showing how a place may be perceived as archetypal, endowed with love and celebrated in music and poetry, yet be a pretext for violence and war. It examines the evolution of ideas about identity and their manifestations in a wide variety of settings, from the former Soviet Union to the island states of the South Pacific.
Modern Spain and the Sephardim
Modern Spain and the Sephardim: Legitimizing Identities addresses the legal, political, symbolic, and conceptual consequences of the development of a new framework of relations between the Spanish state and the descendants of the Jews expelled from the Iberian kingdoms in 1492 from its beginnings in the nineteenth century to its unexpected consequences during World War II. This book aims to understand and explain the unchallenged idea of the Sephardim as a mix of Spaniard and Jew that emerged in Spain in the second half of the nineteenth century. Maite Ojeda-Mata examines the processes that led to this ambivalent conceptualization of Sephardic identity, as both Spanish and Jewish, and its consequences for the Sephardic Jews.
