Samenvatting

Groen-zwart, Texels in het hart. The Construction of Local Identity on the Isle of Texel. Some anthropologists see an increasing nationalization or globalization of cultures and identities, while others emphasize that in many places, villagers assert their right to a local identity. Analyzed here is the case of the Dutch island of Texel, where the 6,000 inhabitants renegotiated and articulated their identity in the processes of Dutch nation building and state formation. It is shown that national and local identity do not necesarily have to be conflictual; rather, cultural homogeneity can be conducive to local consciousness and the expression of local identity. 36 References.
