"Telling stories is an essential part of being human: we tell stories about ourselves to show other people who we are and where we belong. Nations have stories to tell too-"stories of peoplehood"--That build and maintain a sense of national belonging and identity. The concept has been used to analyze identities, memories, and histories of individuals, communities and nations. But doe it make sense to talk about peoplehood today? Can plural societies tell national stories without marginalizing their minorities? And is it even fair to assume that our individual self-narratives are coupled with shared cultural ones? In [title], 16 internationally renowned scholars reflect on the nature and history of peoplehood and discuss how it forms part of national identities, public culture, and academic historiography. Based on the theoretical analysis and empirical studies drawn from Latinos in the United States and African immigrants in France, and from multicultural stands in Canada to grand narratives in Danish history, the book is a timely contribution to the ongoing debate on belonging and identification in multicultural societies."--P[4] of cover

Identities are not something we are born with, Hall argues, but are formed and transformed in the discourses of nation, ethnicity, and race. Casting his glance over the modern age, he shows how the imperial view of civilized-versus-barbarian gave way to a politics of identification that grew ever more unpredictable under late 20th century conditions of globalization. Race was long ago discredited by science yet it persists because it operates as a signifier, making meanings out of the binary representation of difference. From Renaissance to Enlightenment, stability prevailed in a West-centric order that fixed "their difference" against "our modernity," but the multi-accentual slide of signifiers also gave rise to new identities among subordinated subjects as well. Ethnicities that exclude others close down the multiple voicing built into every discourse, whereas Hall shows that "black" took on alternative meaning when Caribbean and South Asian migrants fought racism through alliances based not on genetic or cultural grounds but by opening the signifying chain to recodings. Migration is today at the heart of the contradictory tensions thrown up by global dislocations that have unsettled traditional bonds of collective belonging, although when nations make the rights of citizenship conditional on cultural homogeniety what Hall reveals is the extent to which liberal democracy's universalist values were grounded in an assimilationist worldview that has yet to be fully dismantled.

Peut-on reprendre le contrôle d'une mondialisation débridée dont les dégâts se font sentir chaque jour sur la démocratie, l'environnement et la justice sociale ? Oui. Grâce aux nations. Un tel propos peut paraître contre-intuitif à tous ceux qui voient la nation comme un totem identitaire. Mais ce livre montre qu'elle reste le levier le plus efficace pour ne plus être les témoins impuissants des dérèglements en cours. Humanistes, progressistes, sociaux-démocrates, écologistes : n'ayons plus peur de nous en saisir ! Car il y a urgence. Les classes moyennes occidentales laminées ne veulent plus d'un système qui profite d'abord aux élites. Gilets jaunes en France, Brexit en Angleterre, Trump aux États-Unis, Orbán en Hongrie, Salvini en Italie, mais aussi Bolsonaro au Brésil : les peuples crient leur colère et veulent reprendre le pouvoir, souvent sous les traits de l'homme fort. Une internationale d'extrême droite se met en place. La démocratie libérale que l'on croyait indéracinable est en danger de mort. Alors remettons la nation démocratique au coeur de l'agenda progressiste. Arrachons-la des mains des identitaires et des anti-européens qui la réduisent à des fantasmes nationalistes. Prenons conscience qu'elle est plus nécessaire que jamais pour équilibrer la mondialisation. Aimons-la. Elle seule nous permettra de concilier démocratie, mondialisation et écologie, d'aller vers une slow démocratie.
