How are nations (continued to be) made? In this important contribution to nationalism studies, Dave Poitras explores how nationhood and the idea of living in a world of nations are experienced in the cities of Montreal and Brussels. Drawing on ethnographic research, he identifies three typical ways of enacting nationhood, thereby capturing the various dynamics through which nonpolitical actors do nationhood. In particular, Poitras explores the question of marginalization in biethnonational milieus, demonstrating how biethnicity is hegemonic in Brussels and Montreal because it is legitimized by individuals' everyday activities.
