Historical Identity

Historical Identity is a theoretical construct within national historiography that denotes the collective self-conception of a nation or community as shaped by the selective interpretation and narrative arrangement of its past events, distinguishing it from mere historical memory by its function in constructing and sustaining socio-political continuity and cultural distinctiveness over time.
