This seminar will focus on the constructions of national identity in the USA and Canada. It will begin by discussing what national identity is and how it is created. Then we will turn our attention to American and Canadian concepts of national identity, examining the characteristics of each, their similarities and differences, and how they influence one another. In doing so, we will look at the roles history, politics, national myths, culture, and language have played in shaping American and Canadian identities. |
