-Highlights the political uses of culture--the ways in which language, history, and identity can be manipulated by political elites
-Examines why some attempts to mold identity succeed where others fail
-Reveals why, in the case of Moldova, a project of identity construction succeeded in creating a state but failed to make an independent nation
