National myths are now seriously questioned, if not collapsing, in a number of societies. This collection draws together contributions from international experts to examine the present state of national myths, and their fate in today's rapidly-changing society. Can - or must - nations do without the sort of overarching symbolic configurations that national myths provide? If so, how to re-think the fabrics and the future of our societies?
