EXTREME TRIBALISM: MY COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG - VOLUME TWO
Howard Gardiner
Can we love a country and still question what is done in its name?
National attachment can inspire service, solidarity, and care. It can also make criticism feel like betrayal, a party feel like a personality, and a leader's reputation feel inseparable from the nation.
My Country, Right or Wrong examines patriotism, nationalism, political identity, public memory, propaganda, security claims, democratic disagreement, pluralism, and the public interests behind national symbols. Academic research and documented Canadian examples anchor an accessible discussion of how to preserve constructive loyalty and independent judgment.
