Nations Against the State: The New Politics of Nationalism in Quebec, Catalonia and Scotland
ISBN: 9780333921524 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Quebec, Catalonia and Scotland are three stateless nations looking for a future in a world beyond the nation state. This book argues that national identity may be a vital source of social cohesion in a world dominated by markets and global forces, but that this does not necessarily entail sovereign statehood in the traditional sense. These three nations are harbingers of a new post-sovereigntist nationhood.

Reconstructing the Nation in Africa: The Politics of Nationalism in Ghana
ISBN: 9781845112592 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The established theories and debates on nationalism were formed in the twin crucibles of Eighteenth-century Europe and America, and continue to be informed by that heritage. Reconstructing the Nation in Africa challenges some of the key principles that underlie the current debates on nationalism by exploring in depth the experience of multinational states in Africa. Taking Ghana as a case study, Michael Amoah introduces and develops two important new contributions to the theoretical tapestry of nationalism --the Rationalisation of Nationalism and Reconstructing the...

The Endurance of Nationalism: Ancient Roots and Modern Dilemmas
ISBN: 9780521842679 / Angielski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Aviel Roshwald directly challenges prevalent scholarly orthodoxies about the exclusively modern character of nationalism. He argues that nationalism's enduring power to shape the world we live in arises directly out of its position at the heart of inescapable social and political paradoxes that are not only fundamental to the modern experience, but many of whose roots can be traced back into ancient history. Modern nationalisms, the author contends, cannot be fully understood without first examining their ancient counterparts and archetypes. Deploying a broad array of historical and...

Youth Against Fascism
ISBN: 9783836424776 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1998, Tom Brokaw published a collection of oral histories entitled "The Greatest Generation." His book recounted the struggles of American youth against the threats of the Great Depression, fascism and World War II. Brokaws book, like many popular histories of this era, failed to address the integral role of young communists in these struggles. Indeed, a certain "historical amnesia" exists in the historical memory of both Britain and the United States concerning these youth. Throughout the 1930s young communists, later dubbed "premature anti-fascists," struggled in their classrooms,...

Intellectuels, Nationalisme Et Ideal Panafricain: Intellectuals, Nationalism and the Pan-African Ideal. Historical Perspectives
ISBN: 9782869781610 / Francuski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of essays bring historical perspectives to the present and future of Africa. The contributors argue that at the time when the 'nation state' is in crisis after some forty decades of factitious sovereignty, the challenge remains to renew the pan-African ideal, beginning with the rediscovery of historical consciousness. They conclude that aspirations for regional integration must be reconciled with a unified continental assembly; and that pan-Africanism must be reactivated as a political project to promote viable economic development and an African renaissance. Thieno Bah is...

Crucified Nation : A Motif in Modern Nationalism
ISBN: 9781845192730 / Angielski / Twarda / 133 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the nexus between religion and politics, considered in one of its most controversial aspects. The starting point is the 2001 attack on the United States, which a Canadian commentator ingeniously described as the passion of America . This designation suggested an interesting inquiry into other so-called national passions: the notion of the Christ-nation crucified by evil powers because of its higher virtue. This motif is explored by analyzing five modern nationalisms that have employed Christian symbolism in this manner: Poland, France, Germany, Ireland and Palestine. The...

Ethnic Cleansing in the Balkans looks at the phenomenon of ethnic cleansing in the Balkans over the last two hundred years. It argues that the events that occurred during this time can be demystified, that the South East of Europe was not destined to become violent and that constructions of the Balkans as endemically violent misses a important political point and historical point.
Carmichael provides an account of ethnic cleansing in the Balkans as a single historical phenomenon and brings together a vast array of primary and secondary sources to produce a concise and accessible...

The 20th century's most protracted conflict, The Cold War, also provided the longest stable peace in the history of the modern world - a fragile peace in that came at the price of national freedom for many people.

Nineteenth-century Armenia was a zone of competition between the Persian, Ottoman, and the Russian Empires.

Nationalism and the Multination State
ISBN: 9780190607913 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Published in English for the first time, this book defends the idea that nationhood remains a central aspect of modernity. After the breakup of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in the 1990s, the following decade confirmed this hypothesis with the rise of independence movements in Europe (in Scotland and Flanders) and the persistence of claims to nationhood the world over (for example, in Kurdistan and Tibet).
A dual perspective informs Dieckhoff's analysis: to understand the hidden social and cultural underpinnings of post-Cold War identity dynamics, from Kosovo to Catalonia and from...
