Document Summary
Political geography (2nd edition): chapter 7 nationalism and regionalism" (pp. 145-168) (note: not the entire chapter required for reading) Nationalism" in c. gallaher, c. dahlman, m. gilmartin, a. mountz and p. Defination of nations and national identity: one is in the past, the other is in the present. One is the possession in common of a rich legacy of remembrances; the other is the actual consent, the desire to live together, the will to continue to value the heritage that all hold to common. - Critiques: difficult to account dramatic variations in national feeling and nationalist activity. Billig"s banal nationalism: national identity in everyday life rather then magnificant performances. Nations without states (e. g. karens, shans, karennis) Multinational states with different ethnicities/languages/cultures (e. g. in canada, south africa) Multinational state and separatists struggles: different nations within a particular territorial boundary and nationalist movements to gain statist recognition (albeit through different means and outcomes)
