Native To The Nation: Disciplining Landscapes And Bodies In Australia (Borderlines series) By Allaine Cerwonka
2004 | 283 Pages | ISBN: 0816643482 | PDF | 3 MB
In a world increasingly marked by migration and dislocation, the question of displacement, and of establishing a sense of belonging, has become ever more common and ever more urgent. But what of those who stay in place? How do people who remain in their place of origin or ancestral homeland rearticulate a sense of connection, of belonging, when ownership of the territory they occupy is contested? Focusing on Australia, Allaine Cerwonka examines the physical and narrative spatial practices by which people reclaim territory in the wake of postcolonial claims to land by indigenous people and new immigration of "foreigners." As a multicultural, postcolonial nation whose claims to land until recently were premised on the notion of the continent as "empty" (terra nullius), Australia offers an especially rich lens for understanding the reterritorialization of the nation-state in an era of globalization. To this end, Native to the Nation provides a multisited ethnography of two communities in Melbourne, the Fitzroy Police Station and the East Melbourne Garden Club, allowing us to see how bodies are managed and nations physically constructed in everyday confrontations and cultivations.

Native Christians: Modes and Effects of Christianity Among Indigenous Peoples of the Americas (Vitality of Indigenous Religions Series) By Aparecida Vilaca, Robin M. Wright
2009 | 267 Pages | ISBN: 0754663558 | PDF | 5 MB
"Native Christians" reflects on the modes and effects of Christianity among indigenous peoples of the Americas drawing on comparative analysis of ethnographic and historical cases. Christianity in this region has been part of the process of conquest and domination, through the association usually made between civilizing and converting. While Catholic missions have emphasized the 'civilizing' process, teaching the Indians the skills which they were expected to exercise within the context of a new societal model, the Protestants have centered their work on promoting a deep internal change, or 'conversion', based on the recognition of God's existence.Various ethnologists and scholars of indigenous societies have focused their interest on understanding the nature of the transformations produced by the adoption of Christianity. The contributors in this volume take native thought as the starting point, looking at the need to relativise these transformations. Each author examines different ethnographic cases throughout the Americas, both historical and contemporary, enabling the reader to understand the indigenous points of view in the processes of adoption and transformation of new practices, objects, ideas and values.

Nationality between Poststructuralism and Postcolonial Theory: A New Cosmopolitanism By Philip Leonard
2005 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 1403919127 | PDF | 1 MB
This work examines the complex and contested intersection of poststructuralist and postcolonial theories in work by key theorists--Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, Kristeva, Spivak, and Bhabha--and assesses the sometimes difficult relationship that they have with Marxism, feminism, and psychoanalysis. This book also shows how these theorists often challenge each others' conclusions about cultural power and don't, as some believe, collectively celebrate "the postnational". Central to these debates are the concepts of community, globalization, cosmopolitanism, Europe and European colonialism, modernity, and postcoloniality.

Nationalism in the New World By Various
2006 | 334 Pages | ISBN: 0820326542 | PDF | 3 MB
Nationalism in the New World brings together work by scholars from the United States, Canada, Latin America, and Europe to discuss the common problem of how the nations of the Americas grappled with the basic questions of nationalism: Who are we? How do we imagine ourselves as a nation? Debates over the origins and meanings of nationalism have emerged at the forefront of the humanities and social sciences over the past two decades. However, these discussions have been mostly about nations in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, or Africa. In addition, their focus is usually on the violence spawned by ethnic and religious strains of nationalism, which have been largely absent in the Americas. The contributors to this volume "Americanize" the conversation on nationalism. They ask how the countries of the Americas fit into the larger world of nations and in what ways they present distinctive forms of nationhood. Such questions are particularly important because, as the editors write, "the American nations that came into being in the wake of revolutions that shook the Atlantic world beginning in 1776 provided models of what the modern world might become."American nations were among the first nation-states to emerge on the world stage. As former colonies with multiethnic populations, American nations could not logically rest their claim to nationhood on ancient bonds of blood and history. Out of a world of empires and colonies the independent states of the Americas forged new nations based on a varied mix of modern civic ideals instead of primordial myths, on ethnic and religious diversity instead of common descent, and on future hopes rather than ancient roots.

Nationalism in International Relations: Norms, Foreign Policy, and Enmity (Advances in Foreign Policy Analysis) By Douglas Woodwell
2007 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1403984492 | PDF | 1 MB
Nationalism in International Relations analyzes how the politics of national identity and incompletely realized nation-states influence conflict between states within the international system. While scholars have traditionally focused on political institutions and power politics in their analysis of conflict patterns around the globe, this work examines the explosive role that ethnonational demographic patterns frequently play in promoting interstate distrust, tension, and occasional bloodshed. Employing quantitative analysis and focused case studies, Nationalism in International Studies makes the case for an understanding of regional security politics in many of the world's most contentious hotspots that both transcends and supplements traditional realist and liberal scholarship.

Petru Negura, "Nationalism From Below in the East European and Soviet Borderlands: Popular Responses to Nation-Building, 1900-1940 "
English | ISBN: 1350443751 | 2026 | 318 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book features contributions that examine the responses of local populations to nationalizing and state-building projects in the first half of the twentieth century. Focusing on bottom-up, peripheral, and marginal reactions to top-down nation-building efforts, the volume covers border regions of Romania, Austria-Hungary (before 1918), Poland, Finland, the Russian Empire, and the USSR between 1900 and 1940. Historiography continues to privilege top-down approaches, focused on elites, institutions, and official policies. Despite previous notable works on this topic, in-depth studies of bottom-up perspectives on these regions remain rare. This volume seeks to redress the imbalance by emphasizing the perceptions, discourses, and everyday practices of ordinary people confronted with (often repressive) nation- and state-building agendas. It also addresses multiple levels of social interaction (combining perspectives from above, from below, and from the middle), involving several categories of actors and navigating through different scales of analysis. Individual and comparative case studies explore the social and political peculiarities of various local communities, particularly their evolving forms of national identification across neighboring regions. This volume contributes to both nationalism studies, by critically engaging with the concepts of everyday ethnicity and "national indifference," and borderland studies, through a trans-sectional approach focusing on the agency of various marginalized communities.

National-Cultural Autonomy and its Contemporary Critics (Routledge Innovations in Political Theory) By Ephraim Nimni
2005 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0415249643 | PDF | 2 MB
In his seminal essay 'Staat und Nation' ('State and Nation') Karl Renner presents his model for national-cultural autonomy, with a two-tier system of government that devolves considerable non-territorial autonomy to national communities, while sustaining the administrative unity of the Multination State. This new book delivers the first English translation of 'State and Nation' and brings together a collection of distinguished and leading political scientists to provide a detailed and critical assessment of Renner's theory of national-cultural autonomy. From a variety of perspectives, the contributors discuss the contemporary validity of Renner's arguments paying particular attention to theories of state, liberal democracies, minority nationalism and multiculturalism, and models of regional integration.Making an important contribution to the literature on nationalism and national minorities, this volume is a vital research tool for students and scholars of nationalism and political theory. Readers of this volume may also be interested in the forthcoming companion volume by Ephraim Nimni, Multicultural Nationalism
