Countering the popular assumption that satellite television and the internet are turning the world into one global village where national identities erode, Shavit (Middle Eastern studies, Tel Aviv U.) argues that the technology in fact creates a world where instruments essential to the infusion and endurance of national sentiments are extended outside national boundaries, so the imagination of the nation can be nearly as vivid in exile as at home. He considers such topics as the territorial dimension of modern national imageries, national imageries and modern migration, and imagining the homeland from afar. Then he turns to his case study--the Muslim nation--from the perspectives of constructing the identity of Muslim immigrants in the West, advanced technologies in the service of the ummah, European and German contexts of the Muslim nation, and imagining the Muslim nation from afar.
