Agulhon, Maurice. - Marianne into Battle: Republican Imagery and Symbolism in France, 1789-1880. Translated by Lloyd, Janet. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981.Alter, Nora M. and Lutz Koepnick (eds). - Sound Matters: Essays on the Acoustics of Modern German Culture. New York and Oxford: Berghahn Books, 2004. *Alter, Peter - Nationalism, Edward Arnold, 1989 "....The stability of post-colonial borders (which have also been maintained because the new states insisted the United Nations do so) says nothing at all, however, about the success of nation building in the Third World. It is a process not far advanced in most cases, and therefore unrest and conflict continually come to the surface in these parts of the world. Countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Sudan and Cameroon are all products of colonialism; they are conglomerates of numerous peoples and tribes, linguistic and religious minorities. By comparison, the nationality problems that brought down Europe's old multinational empires at the end of the First World War appear mere trivia. It is clear that these states can only temporarily manage to contain tensions that exist between their various constituent groups. Forty years after the sub-continent was released from British colonial rule, the central government in India, for example, is burdened by the desire of states such as Assam and Nagaland and religious minorities such as the Sikhs to secede from the republic. Whether India is a multilingual nation or a multinational state is still open to debate. The only conclusion the history of twentieth-century southern Asia prompts is that nationalism has been an effective weapon for liberation from colonial rule; but in most cases has been powerless to build and sustain a solid political order. Sri Lanka, politically united again under British rule after having been divided into small kingdoms for centuries, is today threatened by civil war between the Buddhist Sinhalese and the Tamil minority..."
*Anderson, Benedict -Imagined Communities : Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism / Paperback / Published 1983 "...Nation, nationality, nationalism - all have proved notoriously difficult to define, let alone analyse. In contrast to the immense influence that nationalism has exerted on the modern world, plausible theory about it is conspicuously meagre. Hugh Seton-Watson, author of by far the best and most comprehensive English-language text on nationalisms and heir to a vast tradition of liberal historiography and social science, sadly observes: 'Thus I am driven to the conclusion that no "scientific definition" of the nation can be devised; yet the phenomenon has existed and exists.' Tom Nairn, author of the path-breaking The Breakup of Britain, and heir to the scarcely less vast tradition of Marxist historiography and social science, candidly remarks: 'The theory of nationalism represents Marxism's great historical failure". But even this confession is somewhat misleading, insofar as it can be taken to imply the regrettable outcome of a long, self conscious search for theoretical clarity. It would be more exact to say that nationalism has proved an uncomfortable anomaly for Marxist theory and, precisely for that reason, has been largely elided, rather than confronted. How else to explain Marx's own failure to explicate the crucial pronoun in his memorable formulation of 1848: 'The proletariat of each country must, of course, first of all settle matters with its own bourgeoisie'? How else to account for the use, for over a century, of the concept 'national bourgeoisie' without any serious attempt to justify theoretically the relevance of the adjective? Why is this segmentation of the bourgeoisie - a world class insofar as it is defined in terms of the relations of productiontheoretically significant?
The aim of this book is to offer some tentative suggestions for a more satisfactory interpretation of the 'anomaly' of nationalism. My sense is that on this topic both Marxist and liberal theory have become etiolated in a late Ptolemaic effort to save the phenomena; and that a reorientation of perspective in, as it were, a Copernican spirit, is urgently required. My point of departure is that nationality, or, as one might prefer to put it in view of that word's multiple significations, nation-ness, as well as nationalism, are cultural artefacts of a particular kind..."

*Canovan, Margaret, - Nationhood and Political Theory, October 1998 "...What is a nation? As all commentators on nations and nationalism agree, this is a subject on which it is extraordinarily hard to get a conceptual grip. Not that defining political phenomena is ever easy: any attempt to encapsulate a complex and variable phenomenon in a definition invites counter-examples, while the form of words chosen often has controversial political overtones. But the bulk of the literature on nationhood breathes an air of frustration that seems to have two sources, a sense that there is something peculiarly elusive about nations, reinforced by the feeling that they are in any case such ramshackle constructions of myth and illusion that they scarcely deserve serious analysis. This sense that there is something particularly odd about nationhood can only be increased by the perspective that I have so far adopted, since I have been implying on the one hand that its capacity to generate the political power presupposed by liberal democratic political theory makes nationhood highly significant, and on the other hand that this vitally important political phenomenon is nevertheless so unobtrusive that most political theorists somehow fail to notice it. I shall argue that all these peculiarities are interconnected, that the power of nationhood is indeed linked with its elusiveness, and that nations are exceedingly complex phenomena, the key to which lies in their ability to mediate between different aspects of social and political life..."

*Chatterjee, Partha - Nationalist Thought & the Colonial World - A Derivative Discourse published by Zed Books Ltd. for the United Nations University, 1986 "Nationalism denied the alleged inferiority of the colonised people; it also asserted that a backward nation could 'modernise' itself while retaining its cultural identity. It thus produced a discourse in which, even as it challenged the colonial claim to political domination, it also accepted the very intellectual premises of 'modernity' on which colonial domination was based. How are we to sort out these contradictory elements in nationalist discourse?.. how does one accept what is valuable in another's culture without losing one's own cultural identity?..."
From the backcover: Partha Chatterjee ... criticises Western theories of Third World nationalism - both liberal and Marxist. He demonstrates how Western theorists, with their emphasis on the power of reason, the primacy of the hard sciences and the dominance of the empirical method, have assumed that their presuppositions are universally valid, and, through the impact of Western education, have imposed concepts of nationalism on non-Western peoples to the detriment, if not destruction, of their own world-views. The author explores the central contradiction that nationalism in Africa and Asia has consequently experienced: setting out to assert its freedom from European domination, it yet remained a prisoner of European post-Enlightenment rationalist discourse... It anticipates a new generation of popular struggles that will redefine the content of Afro-Asian nationalism and the kinds of society people wish to build.... Professor Chatterjee trained in the United States, and has taught at many institutions including the Universities of Rochester and Amritsar. He has held visiting appointments at St Antony's College, Oxford, and the Australian National University, Among his many published works are Arms, Alliances and Stability (1975), The Stat of Political Theory (1987)(co-author), and Bengal 1920-1947: the Land question (1984). He is a member of the editorial group of Subaltern Studies: Writings on South Asian History and Society. He is currently Professor of Political Science at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences in Calcutta.

This is no longer so; but the political paramountcy of States over other international actors, with whatever qualifications, continues, and Statehood remains the central type of legal personality. Problems of definition and of application of the definition, of statehood thus occupy an important place in the structure of international law....Perhaps the most controversial issue in this area is the relationship between statehood and recognition..."

In the Tamil case many actually become what they have fled from. Between the extremes of the warrior and the victim the refugee must carry out his 'bricolage', assemble the pieces and carry on. For many this life project takes the form of internalised martyrdom, the fight for Eelam being replaced by a longing for Eelam which grows into a constant part of the personality and becomes a counterweight, the counterweight, to the vicissitudes of exile. What is characteristic of the Tamil exile situation, therefore, is a blurring of 'here' and 'there'; the dismembering of social networks, the re-membering of an imaginary homeland, the attachment of an imagined community to an imagined place. It is that from which they are excluded which makes them not only 'refugees' but ' Tamil refugees'...The grand narrative of revolutionary nationalism is adapted, by refugees who accept it, to provide a genesis of the diaspora....'When the atrocities of the Sinhalese terrorists increased, to protect our lives we fled...' This explanation goes beyond scientific history and represents a 'mythico-history'. Not because it is untrue but because the Tamils as a people are here heroised and placed within a more encompassing moral ordering of the world where relationships and processes are reinterpreted within a dichotomy of good and evil...."
Gellner, Ernest, Professor of Social Anthropology at Cambridge University *Nations and Nationalism Basil Blackwell, Paperback, 1983 (**alternate link to Amazon.co.uk bookshop) "....What then is this contingent, but in our age seemingly universal and normative, idea of the nation? Discussion of two very makeshift, temporary definitions will help to pinpoint this elusive concept. (1) Two men are of the same nation if and only if they share the same culture, where culture in turn means a system of ideas and signs and associations and ways of behaving and communicating. (2 )Two men are of the same nation if and only if they recognize each other as belonging to the same nation. In other words, nations maketh man; nations are the artefacts of men's convictions and loyalties and solidarities. A mere category of persons (say, occupants of a given territory, or speakers of a given language, for example) becomes a nation if and when the members of the category firmly recognize certain mutual rights and duties to each other in virtue of their shared membership of it. It is their recognition of each other as fellows of this kind which turns them into a nation, and not the other shared attributes, whatever they might be, which separate that category from non-members. Each of these provisional definitions, the cultural and the voluntaristic, has some merit. Each of them singles out an element which is of real importance in the understanding of nationalism. But neither is adequate. Definitions of culture, presupposed by the first definition, in the anthropological rather than the normative sense, are notoriously difficult and unsatisfactory. It is probably best to approach this problem by using this term without attempting too much in the way of formal definition, and looking at what culture does..."

"...Nationalism is first and foremost a state of mind, an act of consciousness... the mental life of man is as much dominated by an ego-consciousness as it is by a group consciousness. Both are complex states of mind at which we arrive through experiences of differentiation and opposition, of the ego and the surrounding world, of the we group and those outside the group. It is a fact often commented upon that this growth of nationalism and of national sectionalisms happened at the very same time when international relations,trade, and communications were developing as never before; that local languages were raised to the dignity of literary and cultural languages just at the time when it seemed most desirable to efface all differences of language by the spread of world languages. This view overlooks the fact that that very growth of nationalism all over the earth, with its awakening of the masses to participation in political and cultuarl life, prepared the way for the closer cultural contacts of all the civilisations of mankind, at the same time separating and uniting them...."

Drawing on interviews with leading players in the Indian-Sri Lankan debacle, Sankaran Krishna offers a persuasive analysis of this episode. The intervention serves as a springboard to a broader inquiry into the interworkings of nation-building, ethnicity, and "foreign" policy. Krishna argues that the modernist effort to construct nation-states on the basis of singular notions of sovereignty and identity has reached a violent dead end in the postcolonial world of South Asia. Showing how the nationalist agenda that seeks to align territory with identity has unleashed a spiral of regional, statist, and insurgent violence, he makes an eloquent case for reimagining South Asia along postnational lines-as a "confederal" space. Postcolonial Insecurities counters the perception of "ethnicity" as an inferior and subversive principle compared with the progressive ideal of the "nation." Krishna, in fact, shows ethnicity to be indispensable to the production and reproduction of the nation itself. Sankaran Krishna is associate professor of political science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa."

What, I think, distinguishes the last twenty years from earlier periods in the study of nationalism is the growing convergence of two fields, which had been formerly treated as separate: the study of ethnicity and ethnic community, and the analysis of national identity and nationalism. The former had been largely the preserve of anthropologists and social psychologists, and had focused on small-scale communities, often in Third World areas. The latter had been the province of historians, for whom the ideology (and ethics) of nationalism was paramount. Nationalism was seen as a 'force', non-logical if not irrational, one which swept away traditional barriers and ushered in a new era of national conflicts and mass terror, a view reinforced by nationalism's alleged role in two World Wars..." more

Whatever the feelings of individuals, it provides the dominant criterion of culture and identity, the sole principle of government and the chief focus of social and economic activity. The appeal of the nation and nationalism is global; there is no area free from ethnic protests and nationalist uprisings. Praised or reviled the nation shows few signs of being transcended, and nationalism does not appear to be losing any part of its explosive popular power and significance.
There is nothing random or recent in this state of affairs. It is rooted in a long history of ethnic ties and sentiments that reach back long before the birth of our modern world, but that have been unexpectedly and powerfully revitalized by modern bureaucratic state systems, capitalist class structures and the widespread longing for immortality and dignity in a community of history and destiny in a secular age. Through the rediscovery of an ethnic past and the promise of collective restoration of the former golden age, national identity and nationalism have succeeded in arousing and inspiring ethnic communities and populations of all classes, regions, genders and religions, to claim their rights as 'nations', territorial communities of culturally and historically cognate citizens, in a world of free and equal nations. Here is an identity and a force with which even the strongest of states has had to come to terms, and it is one that has shaped, and is likely to shape, our world in the foreseeable future..." *Nationalism and Modernism : A Critical Survey of Recent Theories of Nations and Nationalism November 1998 *Nationalism : Critical Concepts in Political Science - John Hutchinson (Editor), Anthony D.
