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.

The city has always been a locus of research and discussion within the debates of modernity and, more recently, postmodernity. This volume brings together work on the city from within sociology and cultural studies.

In this book, two leading authorities on migration and nationhood attempt to bridge the gap between experience and analysis, looking at: * the disorientating effects of space and time which migration creates * how migration affects our understanding of national affiliations and the nation state * the impact of cross national economic relations on everyday life. The authors examine the migration of both rich and poor, crossing borders and living increasingly diasporic lives, and show how even as people move across borders, they still seek to be at home in the world through the...

Migration is an increasingly prominent phenomenon in today's globalizing world and it has been perceived in very different ways. The poetics of exile, the pain of diasporic lives and the celebration of hybridity in popular cultures across the globe are curiously at odds with the ways in which sociologists and economists have tried to conceptualize and analyze migration.
