national identities
Country-based self-concepts
National identities is the plural of national identity—the sense of belonging to a particular nation and sharing its culture, history, and values.
People may hold multiple national identities or feel their national identity more or less strongly depending on context: Immigrants often navigate between their national identities.
The concept appears frequently in political discourse about citizenship, patriotism, and cultural preservation.
