This is the only detailed ethnographic study - in Danish or English - of modern Danish identity, dealing with urgent contemporary issues such as immigration, racism in Denmark, the Danish relationship to Islam, and Danish attitudes to the EU. Since 1992 and the Danish rejection of the EU's Maastricht Treaty, up until the present, with the "cartoons" crisis, Denmark, although only a small country has occupied a disproportionately visible place in European and global politics. This book is also one of the very few studies to use extensive archival material alongside participant observation and interview data, and to draw upon research with young people as well as with adults. In the contemporary relevance of its subject, its innovative approach to field research, its contribution to identity studies, and in being written in a student-friendly approachable style, this book will find a wide market in anthropology, sociology, political science, international relations and European studies. It will also find a large market in Scandinavia.
