Abstract
Writing a review of the second edition of The Discursive Construction of National Identity has been an extremely difficult task. How to write an evaluation of an iconic volume, praised already everywhere and by everyone in the academe? Just one look at online book sellers brings ample examples of tributes, admirations and recommendations of Wodak, de Cillia, Reisigl and Liebhart’s work. A publishing history of the volume also speaks a lot about its credentials.
