| Summary/Abstract |
Existing studies assess attitudes about Americanness within the context of racial and ethnic group differences. However, this paper examines the relative effects of racial, ethnic, and religious group memberships across a variety of national sentiments, including patriotism and ethnoculturalism. Results from the 1996 and 2004 General Social Surveys (N = 1851) indicate that subgroup affiliations strongly influence beliefs about the salience and substance of American national identity. The implications for the complexity of the findings are discussed, as well as suggestions for future research.

| Summary/Abstract |
Letter from North Haven is an essay on American national identity that shows the depth of small town mentalities in American life-no matter that that life is mainly urban and industrial. We move from Chicago School sociology to the Catcher in the Rye; from Bob Dylan to Steven Spielberg; from Jacksonian Democracy to the Tea Party movement. The essay ends by using the example of politics in North Haven, Maine, to call upon the President to revive his campaign by explaining America's problems in the plain style and tangible context of small town USA.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 1917, the United States was far from a cohesive entity. Using the events surrounding World War One as a natural laboratory to trace the construction of a unified American identity, this article adds to the debate on the political sociology of identity frames and nationalism. Using an event-frame - model to analyze the discourse reflected in pamphlets disseminated by the Wilson administration, I demonstrate how identity frames evolved and increasingly relied on enemy images to strengthen the in-group coherence of American citizens. Thus, paying attention to the political dynamics of frame evolution is crucial in understanding the emergence of salient identities.
