Just thought of something, a good (recogniseable) example. Jewish people have often been denied nationality in the countries they occupied, so they developed a sense of belonging to a people that transcends nationality (and borders). And what better example of an imposition of an identity onto a people than the State of Israel calling itself the "Jewish state" and offering every Jewish person on the planet nationality. Many Jewish people reject this, they still consider themselves part of the Jewish people but not part of the nation of Israel.
