Nationalist sentiment can be represented through the countryside as much as the city

Evidence

In a complementary fashion at times of national crisis the landscapes of nationalism can resonate through the countryside as much as the city.’ The novelist Kazuo Ishiguro cleverly played with such a notion in tracing the seething growth of 1930s fascism to the bastion of Englishness in the country house at the center of The Remains of the Day* Likewise it should be of no surprise at all that the British National Party in 2000 turns towards the countryside, with a Cambridge University-educated leadership based on a rural small landholding in Wales (Back, 2000) to identify discontented nationalist sentiment, with its launch of a new journal The Countryman. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2296
