The book Charting Nationality presents the issue and history of nationalism through a
theoretical essay and a series of infographic charts. The essay focuses on the contemporary
and historical efforts of both immigrated and majority cultures to sustain their national identity,
among the influence of globalization, and the role of new media therein.

 

The infographics visualize a new kind of data collected in an innovative and attractive method
on a scale of local to global within three realms of preferences, namely daily, general and virtual.
The visual charts further separate the data into three kinds of people with specific relationships
with their home countries; namely native citizens, immigrants and expatriates. Through this kind
of data visualization one can extract the important differences and surprising circumstances of modern
nationalism, both across types of people and realms of preferences.
