Opis

This text presents ways of thinking about the nation, nationalism and national identities. Drawing links between popular culture and indigenous movements, issues of race and gender, and ideologies of national identity, the authors draw on their work in Latin America to illustrate their retheorisation of the politics of nationalism. This exploration of contemporary politics in a postmodern, post- new-world-order uncovers a map of future political organisation, a world of pluri-nations and ethnicised identities in the ever-changing struggle for democracy.
