What does it mean to belong to a nation—and what do nations owe to memory? In an era where nationalism resurfaces across the globe, Boundaries of Belonging offers a profound philosophical reflection on the intersections of personal history, ideology, and political identity.
Drawing on the legacies of the 20th century and their echoes in today’s world, this book explores how nationalism shapes not only political structures but also the way individuals remember, inherit, and narrate history. With a particular lens on Albania as a microcosm of larger struggles, the text highlights how memory becomes both a weapon and a resource for constructing meaning in modern politics.
Written for professionals, academics, and educators, Boundaries of Belonging is both an intellectual inquiry and a framework for understanding how the past continues to guide the choices of the present. It is essential reading for anyone seeking clarity in the relationship between ideology, memory, and democracy.
