Nation-building in the Post-Soviet Borderlands: The Politics of National Identities

Autor Graham Smith, Vivien Law, Andrew Wilson, Annette Bohr, Edward Allworth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 1998
This book examines how national and ethnic identities are being reforged in the post-Soviet borderland states. The first chapter provides a conceptual and theoretical context for examining national identities, drawing in particular upon post-colonial theory. The rest of the book is divided into three parts. In Part I, the authors examine how national histories of the borderland states are being rewritten especially in relation to new nationalising historiographies, around myths of origin, homeland, and descent. Part II explores the ethnopolitics of group boundary construction and how such a politics has led to nationalising policies of both exclusion and inclusion. Part III examines the relationship between nation-building and language, especially with regard to how competing conceptions of national identity have informed the thinking of both political decision-takers and nationalising intellectuals, and the consequences for ethnic minorities. Such perspectives on nation-building are illustrated with substantive studies drawn from the Baltic states, Ukraine, and Belarus, Transcaucasia, and Central Asia.

Recenzii

'… this book brings together several important aspects of nationalizing regimes, specifically the politics of history, social boundaries, and language … this book is a breath of fresh air in the study of nationalities in the post-Soviet states.
