Cornell University Press Economic Nationalism in a Globalizing World
Book SynopsisThis book demonstrates the enduring, and even heightened, economic significance of national identities and nationalism in the current age.Trade Review"Studies of foreign economic policy abound, but few bother to recognize that 'foreign' only makes sense in relation to the 'national' other. Eric Helleiner, Andreas Pickel, and their colleagues have put the 'national other' front and center in their analysis of Economic Nationalism in a Globalizing World. In doing so, they usefully demonstrate how economic nationalism takes a variety of policy forms and is quite distinct from the economic statist/realist positions so often caricatured in the literature. Contributions on topics as diverse as how nationalism affects post communist states, choice of economic integration strategy, how conceptions of security inform nationalism as an accumulation strategy in East Asia, and how nationalism and liberal policies can in fact work 'hand in hand' in a variety of contexts, together produce a volume of great theoretical insight. For years scholars have been calling for a constructivist voice in International Political Economy, one that takes identities and interests as codetermining. Economic Nationalism in a Globalizing World answers that call." -- Mark Blyth, The Johns Hopkins University, author of Great Transformations: Economic Ideas and Institutional Change in the Twentieth Century"The authors in this rich volume demonstrate that economic nationalism and globalization not only can but do coexist. They link national identity and culture to countries' economic policies and thus make a contribution to our understanding of international political economy and to the broader study of nationalism." -- Ronald H. Linden, University of Pittsburgh"This book offers new insights into the dynamics of globalization. It challenges the standard assumption that 'economic nationalism' is opposed to 'neoliberalism.' It shows how policymakers with nationalistic motivations may in some contexts pursue protection and other industrial policies, while in other contexts—in a different nation or in the same nation at a different time—they may embrace free-market neoliberal policies, using appeals to national identity as a way to mobilize support for neoliberal policies involving sacrifice from sectors that benefit from existing protection and subsidies. The case studies—ranging from the European Union to Russia to East Asia to New Zealand to Canada—are extraordinarily rich in showing the less obvious impacts of ideas and interests on economic policy." -- Robert Hunter Wade, London School of Economics

Cornell University Press Between Two Motherlands
Book SynopsisIn 1900, some 100,000 people living in Bulgaria2 percent of the country's populationcould be described as Greek, whether by nationality, language, or religion. The complex identities of the populationproud heirs of ancient Hellenic colonists, loyal citizens of their Bulgarian homeland, members of a wider Greek diasporic community, devout followers of the Orthodox Patriarchate in Istanbul, and reluctant supporters of the Greek government in Athensbecame entangled in the growing national tensions between Bulgaria and Greece during the first half of the twentieth century. In Between Two Motherlands, Theodora Dragostinova explores the shifting allegiances of this Greek minority in Bulgaria. Diverse social groups contested the meaning of the nation, shaping and reshaping what it meant to be Greek and Bulgarian during the slow and painful transition from empire to nation-states in the Balkans. In these decades, the region was racked by a series of upheavals (the Balkan Wars, World Trade ReviewIn this deeply researched and thought-provoking book, Theodora Dragostinova uses the case of the Greeks of Bulgaria during the first half of the twentieth century to shed new light on the agency of orgdinary people in shaping notions of national identity while negotioating their way under the pressure of elite-led nationalization projects. Based largely on documents mined in fifteen central and provincial archives in Greece and Bulgaria, this book represents a significant contribution to the field of nationalism studies by vividly highlighting the fluidness and ambiguity of nationness.. Dragostinova has given us a first-rate analysis of the fluid nature of individual national identification though periods of histrical upheaval. -- Max Bergholz * Canadian Journal of Histor *Theodora Dragostinova's masterful study of the Greeks of Bulgaria begins with her honest admission that the book is the product of her own life between two motherlands.. It is precisely the absence of any national prejudices that makes this book remarkable. -- Anastasia Karakadidou * American Historical Review *We are fortunate... to have more solid information regarding the Greeks in Bulgaria and their mitigation to Greece in Theodora Dragostinova's Between Two Motherlands: Nationality and Emigration among the Greeks of Bulgaria. Dragostinova’s itinerary through three countries, Bulgaria, Greece, and the United States, as well as her proficiency in three languages, Bulgarian, Greek, and English, make her the ideal researcher on this subject.... Dragostinova’s book is a well documented and objective analysis of a subject typical of the ethno-political reality of southeastern Europe during the twentieth century, an area that lost its unity as [an] integral part of the Ottoman Empire under the pressure of the local nationalisms. -- Andronikos Falangas * Journal of the Hellenic Diaspora *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

MB - Cornell University Press Whose Bosnia Nationalism and Political
Book SynopsisAs the site of the assassination that triggered World War I and the place where the term "ethnic cleansing" was invented during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, Bosnia has become a global symbol of nationalist conflict and ethnic division. But as Edin Hajdarpasic shows, formative contestations over the region began well before 1914, emerging...Trade ReviewScholars of the Balkans and beyond, have been waiting for an account like this for a long time—an account that is not afraid to ask difficult questions; approach them studiously, seriously, and in an interdisciplinary fashion; and answer them in a way that is supported by vast amount of evidence, grace, and honesty. * H-SAE *Elegantly written and full of unexpected (re)readings and provocative insights, this work towers over the already respectable stack of books on the cultural history of nationalism. What makes this work attractive is the wide culture and sophistication displayed, the ease with which Hajdarpasic moves from literary to philosophical allusions, the erudite interdisciplinary sweep, from anthropology to sociology and political science. This, more than the 'grounded theory,' really 'de-provincializes' its subject, and makes the work an important contribution not only to East European literature broadly, but to nationalism studies in general. * Austrian History Yearbook *A remarkably refreshing study that conveys clearly just how difficult it was for activists and governments not only to implant national consciousness in people largely indifferent to the idea, but, once they had done so, to guide its growth along lines that they could control.... Hajdarpasic's work makes an extremely valuable contribution to our understanding of the nineteenth-century Balkans and the roots of the fixation on nationalism evident in this area of history. It also should interest scholars in the wider field of nationalism studies, as it adopts an empirically grounded theoretical approach centered not only on the concept of the (br)other but on the open-ended nature of nationalism, which neither is controllable nor has any clear endpoint.... Hajdarpasic's work sets a new standard in modern Balkan history and should become a pillar of the field. * The American Historical Review *This is an impressive book, complex and challenging.... well-crafted, compellingly written, and extensively researched. It is probably the most important text to have been published on this subject in the English language. * Slavic Review *As a former Bosnian now living in the US, [Hajdarpasic] seeks a new paradigm—conceptually innovative and historical in its methodology—to obviate the vicissitudes of internecine nationalism in Bosnia.... Recommended. * Choice *A much-needed contribution that helps us understand not only contemporary Serbian and Croatian aspirations towards B-H, but also the roots of many notable artistic and cultural productions about the region.... An excellent historiographic work. * Slavic and East European Journal *Hajdarpasic's book is timely and relevant, not only in what it has to tell us about the binary nature of debates about national identity in the period treated by the book but also in southeastern Europe today.... The book also functions very well as a cultural history of Bosnia and Herzegovina and tackles an impressive number of literary and artistic works.... A very valuable and welcome addition to the English-language historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically, and of the Balkans and nationalism studies more generally. * The Journal of Modern History *Hajdarpasic has written an insightfully nuanced, relevant and very much archival source- based monograph on transnational Serbian, Croatian and Bosnia-Herzegovina intellectual discourses during the long nineteenth century. His point of reference is an extraordinary spec- trum of nationalists – ethnographers, insurgents, teachers, academics, poets, politicians, and other actors often grouped together as intellectuals – who dreamed about and vied for the right to call Bosnia their own.... Hajdarpasic has contributed a valuable, exquisitely creative and in- sightful journey into the "South Slav problem" by southern European minds. * Jahrbcher fr Geschichte Osteuropas *Hajdarpasic's engagingly written book is a welcomed contribution to the studies of nationalism in general and late imperial Bosnia in particular. He successfully demonstrates how the writings of many national activists are studded with inconcsistencies, contradictions, half-knowledge, insults, irrational eruptions, expressions of hatred, calls for violent actions, and absurdities. * Südost-Forschungen *Hajdarpasic has produced a work throwing valuable light on nationalist thinking in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, one that will be a resource for all future scholars of the subject. * English Historical Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Whose Bosnia?1.

MD - Duke University Press The Promise of the Foreign
Book SynopsisA study of the effects of translation practices and historical writings in the Philippines on questions of nationalismTrade Review“Following up on Contracting Colonialism, Vicente L. Rafael studies the Philippine nationalists’ failed attempts to lay claim to Spanish, and the emergence of a hungry Tagalog meaning-machine eager to ‘host the foreign in the familiar.’ Rafael takes his readers on an astonishing trip through the Philippine cultural archive, from vernacular comedia, epic and novel, to underground newspapers, speeches, and the captured documents of secret societies, examining language as an unstoppable producer of social and political possibilities, including the possibility of the national. No one grasps better than Rafael the ambiguous agency of language in colonialism and decolonization.”—Mary Louise Pratt, New York University“In the tradition of James Siegel and Benedict Anderson, Vicente L. Rafael has given us a daring book about the ambivalent origins of the nation in the Philippines. It will be loved and emulated by students of nationalism, Southeast Asia, and comparative literary studies everywhere. There is good reason for this, for it is a beautiful book, a book of readings for lovers of literature, a book about literature for the media age. Mostly, however, it is a book about the foreignness in us all: an unassailable refutation of nationalist ideologies of purity.”—Rosalind C. Morris, author of In the Place of Origins: Modernity and Its Mediums in Northern Thailand“This latest work is one of erudition and unique insight. What is characteristic of Rafael’s prose is not only its eloquence but the meticulous unpacking of every snippet of source material, which is mined for its heuristic value, propelling the argument towards often unique lateral understandings. This is a work that would be of great value to Philippinists in particular and to those who are interested in the development of nationalist thought in Southeast Asia more broadly.” -- Julius J.

Rlpg/Galleys Separatism
Book SynopsisAs we approach the millennium the world is experiencing civil wars exclusivelyhalf of which are being waged over the issue of secession. This book offers a comparative view of nine historic separatist movements, some of which have achieved the break-up of an empire or a state, and others that to date have not. Separatist struggles occur in waves that tend to coincide with upsurges of democratization. Several chapters explore this connection, making comparisons with economic and geopolitical causes. The authors analyze the long term effects of secession: after partition, ethnic strife typically continues for generations; minorities decline in status; and democracy and human rights are derogated. The break-up of one state often leads to further fragmentation, as in the disintegration of the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Russian empires, where years later separatism unfolded in the successor states of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Palestine, Chechnya and Tatarstan. The authors attribute much of today''s separatism to the demagoguery of politicians losing legitimacy in post-communist states, for whom nationalism is a convenient populist ideology. A broader explanation, however, points to the failure of modern democracies to develop constitutional mechanisms reconciling the expression of particularistic identities with the universalism of citizenship. The book reviews proposals toward that end.Trade ReviewA powerful, practical demonstration of the unacceptably high human, social, economic, political, and military costs of separatism and partition through wars of secession. The book proposes political alternatives to promote democracy and protect minority rights through non-territorial electoral constituencies and weighted referendums. Valuable to scholars in many fields and highly recommended as a supplementary college reading, the book is also vital to anyone in the media and the public concerned with multicultural conflict and current international events. -- Andre Gunder Frank, University of TorontoThe book makes a significant contribution to research on racism by shedding light on the process of the construction of racialized identities, as well as the interconnectednessof race and gender as social constructs. The deconstruction of racial and gender difference in white supremacist discourse reveals their construction to be a political act shaped by power relations. * Sociological Abstracts, April 2000 *This Volume brings an interdisciplinary perspective to the analysis of various separatist movements for the purpose of generating discourse that could eventually lessen the human suffering that accompanies such movements. * Sociological Abstracts, April 2000 *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Introduction Chapter 3 When States Divide Chapter 4 Separatism: Rationality and Irony Chapter 5 The Economics of Secession Chapter 6 The Collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Chapter 7 Citizenship and the Collapse of the State: The Ottoman Case Chapter 8 Who or What Broke Up the Soviet Union?

The crisis of identity that underlies Russia''s efforts to answer that question and the country''s attempts to grapple with modernity_the invention of an alien civilization_is explored in this timely book. Russia''s response to the universal challenge posed by modernization''s erosion of community has been to fall back on that most enduring bond of human association_the kinship tie_as Allensworth here defines as nationalism.

University of Exeter Press Not On Any Map Essays on Postcoloniality and
Book SynopsisThe collection draws on the work of scholars and creative producers from all over the world who explore the idea of the nation in a variety of postcolonial contexts.Trade Review "The value of Murray's collection is the specificity of the research areas it offers, in contrast to the generality and circularity that theory so often assumes. The book successfully contributes to our growing understanding of forms of nationalism and the nation outside of, and explicitly and implicitly challenging, earlier European models." (Wasafiri, Issue no. 27, Spring 1998) "Not On Any Map is a wide-ranging collection of essays by academic and creative writers, exploring the varied cultural legacies of 'post-colonialism'. . . The strength of these essays is the way in which they thrust the reader directly into unfamiliar, localized debates and particular literary scenes. . . The collection is, in fact, an effective mirror of the problem it describes: a celebration of cultural diversity falling subject to theoretical colonization." (Times Literary Supplement, 26 September 1997) "A truly impressive collection of essays from a diverse group of academics."

Oneworld Publications Three Worlds
Book SynopsisA unique coming-of-age story from the lost world of Arab-JewsTrade Review'This remarkable upside-down tale… A personal story, not a polemic… provocative… His personal odyssey confers on Shlaim an exceptional authority for his words; he can say things that others of us cannot… his thesis deserves to be considered with respect.' —Max Hastings, The Sunday Times'At the heart of this riveting and profoundly controversial book is Shlaim’s investigation into the Baghdad bombings against Jewish targets in 1950 and 1951… This is a beautifully written book which artfully blends the personal with the political. The recollections of family life in both its glory and its anguished tribulations are vividly recreated. Shlaim’s is a powerful and humane voice which reminds us that the Palestinians were not the only victims of the creation of Israel in 1948.' —Spectator'Three Worlds, by the Oxford historian of the modern Middle East Avi Shlaim, is an often enchanting memoir of his childhood in Baghdad... A gripping account... A lost world in Iraq, which is brilliantly brought back to life in this fascinating memoir.' —David Abulafia, Financial Times'[An] absorbing, contentious memoir… Even if it “cannot be rebuilt”, Three Worlds, quite marvellously, brings [the old world of Iraq] back to life.' —TLS'An intimate and engaging life story that forces the reader to re-examine three very different worlds – Iraq, Israel and Britain – in the middle decades of the twentieth century. A reflective and insightful plunge into the identity politics of the Arab-Jew by one of Britain’s greatest public intellectuals. But also the best book I’ve read all year.' —Eugene Rogan, author of The Arabs'This memoir is an engrossing personal narrative as well as a historian’s penetrating reflection on the misfortune of the "other victims" of Zionism: Jews exiled from their old Arab homelands where they were well integrated, and transplanted to Israel, to serve as a subaltern class of the Hebrew settler nation.' —Moshé Machover'Three Worlds juxtaposes a fascinating family story, unfolding across Iraq, Israel, and the UK, with an intriguing historical account of Iraqi Jews during an especially calamitous period. Here the preeminent scholar of the Arab–Israeli conflict furnishes a precious personal glimpse into a past in which Arab-Jews figure prominently, generating a more subtle and multilayered picture of the partition of Palestine and its aftermath.' —Ella Shohat, author of On the Arab-Jew'[Shlaim’s] mizrahi roots and experience produce a raw nerve, the emotional and psychological wellspring of his later oeuvre and politics… His personal story is moving, and it is told with atypical, engrossing candor… Three Worlds is very readable, like everything that Shlaim writes.' —Benny Morris, Tablet'In this detailed, resonant account, historian Shlaim recalls the complexities of growing up as an Arab Jew in Iraq and Israel… Those interested in alternative Jewish attitudes toward Zionism will find this illuminating.' —Publishers Weekly'Sharply observed, and without stridency, in making a case for an ecumenical Israel.' —Kirkus‘Brave… Well written and informative, this is a fascinating glimpse into a forgotten world.’ —Tablet'Vivid… This luminous memoir… offers readers a chance to reimagine life not ruled by force, fear, deceit and exclusion.' —Middle East Eye'Avi Shlaim’s intriguing, ideologically-driven book, Three Worlds, is a bitter-sweet autobiography of an accomplished Iraqi Jew who left his homeland under duress, an impassioned look back at Iraq’s lost Jewish community, and a stinging critique of Zionism and Israel.' —Times of Israel

City Lights Books Superpatriotism
Book SynopsisSuperpatriots, writes Michael Parenti, are those people who place national pride and American supremacy above every other public consideration, those who follow leaders uncritically, especially in their war policies abroad. Superpatriotism is the nationalistic hype propagated by officialdom, the media, and various flag-waving groups.Parenti demonstrates how superpatriotism attaches itself to religion, sports, the military, the schools and big business. He questions whether its top politico-economic propagators are themselves really patriotic, given how they evade taxes, export our jobs, pollute our land and plunder the public treasury.With incisive probing and a humorous touch, Parenti addresses such urgent questions as: What does it mean to love one’s country? Why is it so important to be Number One? What determines America’s “greatness?” He examines how US leaders and the corporate media fan the flames of fear to win support for huge Trade Review"What the reader of Superpatriotism will find is a series of related essays written in lucid and accessible prose. . . . Simple and solid passages . . . are scattered throughout this digest-sized, 168-page book. The notes at the end of each chapter make clear the range of reading and reflection from which they are composed."—Catalyzer

Book SynopsisDrawing on his rich experience in public service and teaching, Jacques Parizeau, former premier of Quebec, explains how the idea of an independent Quebec first took root and evolved. Parizeau also provides lively commentary on the Quiet Revolution in the 1960s, on his career as finance minister under Premier René Lévesque, and on his own administration in the mid-1990s.Trade ReviewOn all issues, Jacques Parizeau has interesting things to say. . . . There are too many mediocre politicians for us not to welcome the idea that a politician is also a thinker." —La Presse (Montreal)"What Parizeau brilliantly illustrates is that today ‘no country is too small to develop as long as it is part of large trade space or market." —Le Devoir (Montreal)"Parizeau, the former premier of Quebec and leader of the Yes camp in the 1995 independence referendum, delivers a thorough overview of the history and future of the separatist movement in the province." —Annotation ©2010 Book News Inc.

Columbia Global Reports The Nationalist Revival
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Excellent and compact.... A person of the left, Judis specializes in speaking truth to liberals, something he also did in his earlier The Populist Explosion. He thinks it's important for progressives to understand why so many are drawn to Trump and the far right in Europe." —E.J. Dionne, The Washington Post"John B. Judis is the rare left-of-center journalist who takes our populist-nationalist moment seriously. Rather than dismiss the leaders and constituencies of the American and European movements as mere xenophobes, he offers an empathetic balls-and-strikes analysis of the socioeconomic factors that made—and continue to make—such campaigns viable." —The American Conservative"Concise and indispensable." —Vanity Fair "John B. Judis does not see a death-match between imperial liberalism on the one hand and nationalism on the other. His book argues that elites have overreached, both in the U.S. and in Europe, in advocating large-scale immigration and trade deals and foreign interventions. As a result, Mr. Judis—a former New Republic editor who has long supported progressive and pro-labor economic policies—calls for a synthesis between liberalism and nationalism." —The Wall Street Journal"John B. Judis' new book offers a timely reminder that there is such a thing as a nationalist left, and the author himself is a part of it." —The National Interest"Judis's contrast between 'globalism' and 'internationalism' is a valuable distinction for the left, and rejecting the former is necessary for the survival of the latter. Progressives will have to offer an 'alternative globalism' that can address the extreme inequities of the current system while defending its very real achievements. Nationalism will be the reactionary route of the 21st century, and in the United Kingdom we are already seeing just how chaotic and disastrous this path can be." —Conor Lynch, The Week"The longtime political journalist limns the rise of Trumpian nationalism in the face of a bewilderingly global world." —Kirkus Reviews

Taylor & Francis Representing the Past in the Art of the Long
Book SynopsisThis edited collection explores the intersection of historical studies and the artistic representation of the past in the long nineteenth century. The case studies provide not just an account of the pursuit of history in art within Western Europe but also examples from beyond that sphere. These cover canonical and conventional examples of history painting as well as more inclusive, âpopularâ and vernacular visual cultural phenomena. General themes explored include the problematics internal to the theory and practice of academic history painting and historical genre painting, including compositional devices and the authenticity of artefacts depicted; relationships of power and purpose in historical art; the use of historical art for alternative Liberal and authoritarian ideals; the international cross-fertilisation of ideas about historical art; and exploration of the diverse influences of socioeconomic and geopolitical factors. This book will be of particular interest Trade Review"...Seamless interface of history and art history, enhanced by the contributors. ... Adopting, as Stephen Bann’s foreword notes, 'a strictly historical point of view in tracking the development of historical representation in that century', highlighting 'the intersection of historical studies and artistic representations of the past' (p.xvii).

Taylor & Francis Ltd Irish Republican Counterpublic
Book SynopsisThis volume examines the critical factors and processes by which the Provisional Irish Republican movement campaign from 1969 to 1998 transformed a once acquiescent nationalist population in Northern Ireland into a counterpublic of resistance demanding national self-determination and social justice. Considering the establishment of Irish Republican community institutions, prison protests, Republican Feminism, and Provisional IRA media and communications, this volume explores the emergence of Republicanism as a mass social movement in the nationalist Catholic ghettos and rural regions of Northern Ireland in the 1970s a development that helped to sustain the armed struggle of the Provisional Irish Republican Army for three decades. An examination of the emergence and transformative power of the counterpublic discourse and action of the Irish Republican movement, this volume provides a framework for conceptualizing counterpublics in social movement studies. As such it will appeal to sTrade Review"Scholars still know relatively little about the communities of support that stand behind the more visible face of movement activism. In this fascinating volume, the authors show that Northern Irish Republicans’ thirty-year struggle for independence was sustained by a 'counterpublic' forged in tenants associations, prison protests, local broadsheets, street art, and mothers’ support committees. Deeply researched and elegantly argued, the volume provides a genuinely new perspective on the ideas and institutions that fuel movements." -Francesca Polletta, Chancellor's Professor of Sociology, University of California, Irvine"Organizing its detailed, highly innovative empirical investigations around concepts of counterpublic and civil sphere, this volume makes a critical theoretical intervention. Its publication is a major event, not only for studies of Irish Republican resistance but for social movement studies more broadly." -Jeffrey C.

Book SynopsisThis book presents a critical and empirically informed examination of Islamophobia and related issues of racism and nationalism in Germany today, with particular attention to the East/West distinction. The authors, representing several disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, and media and literary studies, situate the topic in the global and German context of the 2015-16 migration crisis and its aftermath, and of the ongoing transformations seen in the postsocialist regions of the European Union.Since the 2015-16 refugee crisis, illiberal leaders and parties within Europe have instrumentalized Islamophobia in an attempt to dislodge the traditional political elites. Strikingly, such illiberal movements have been most successful in the formerly socialist areas of the EU. This is mirrored within Germany itself, where political formations with an Islamophobic agenda remain more popular in the East than in the West.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Western Civilization in the Near East
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1936, Western Civilization in the Near East traces the spread and growth of Western civilization in the countries of the Levant and their immediate hinterland. The author argues that modern civilization took birth in Western Europe and then slowly spread to the rest of Europe and to all other parts of the earth, leading to the Europeanization of mankind. While Europe's modern civilization initially enabled it to dominate the world economically and political, it also provided non-European people with the resources to ultimately resist and reject Europe's control. This universal acculturation and the ensuing birth of a coherent and closely-knit humanity, facing similar social, economic, and cultural problems determined the new trends of world history. This book only focuses on the European contact with the Muslim East and the consequences of the contact. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by thTable of ContentsPreface 1. Introduction 2. The Environment 3.
