Abstract

During my fieldwork on south Manchester, in the UK, class and race were issues that women were reluctant to talk about explicitly, yet national belonging was something invoked in many of the narratives I encountered . National belonging involves more than simply material procedures of containment such as borders and passports, which demarcate absolute distinctions between insiders and outsiders. It also includes a more diffuse sense of being, a lived experience, ways of thinking, everyday routines, acts of identification (or dis-identification) ral and symbolic reproducers of the nation, although they have only been recently included in discourses around nations and nationalisms.
