How can liberals offer "stories of peoplehood" that can compete with illiberal populist and nationalist stories? Rogers Smith has long argued for the importance of "stories of peoplehood" in constituting political communities. By enabling a people to tell others and themselves who they are, such stories establish the people's identity and values and guide its actions. They can promote national unity and unity of groups within and across nations.

Liberals need to offer their own stories expressing more inclusive values.
