Описание: The 'Albanian question' remains one of the major unresolved questions in south-eastern Europe, with the potential to disrupt the region, with grave consequences for the international community. The exodus of refugees from Kosovo into Albania in the late 1990s - and Kosovo's subsequent declaration of independence in February 2008 - rejuvenated interest in Albania and Kosovo and their place in the Balkans. Yet despite growing interest in the region's recent history, until now Albania's period of independence around World War I has been largely neglected. The Birth of Albania explores how an independent Albania first came into existence in the early 20th century, following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Nicola Guy explains how and why Albanian independence was finally achieved, in the context of the prevailing contemporary ideas of ethnicity and national identity, elaborated most famously by President Woodrow Wilson as 'national self-determination'. This book is the definitive account of this period and an essential contribution to our understanding of an important but often overlooked part of the world.

Описание: Most writings on the theme of the nation confine themselves to discussions of ideology and thoughts on nationalism, leaving out the question of the form of the nation. This selection of writings by Ranabir Samaddar fills in that void and presents a whole range of dimensions, perspectives, and controversies of the last two decades on the question of the nation in India. It looks at the form of the Indian nation in terms of contests, contradictions, classes, and nationalist strategies of inclusion and exclusion, thereby addressing two significant issues in view of the nation form—its relation with democracy and the problem of governing the nation.

This selection not only comprises essays that stand on their own merit, but also, in totality, presents a historical summary of the nation’s experience through decades—before and after Independence.

Описание:

Tracing the history of the Indian National Congress from its founding in 1885 until about 1905, Professor McLane analyzes its efforts to build a national community and to obtain fundamental reforms from the British. In so doing, he extends our understanding of the dynamics of Indian pluralism.

In its first two decades of existence, the Congress failed to inspire sacrifices from its members or to attract Muslims or Indians without an English education. The author explains this early stagnation in terms of developments within the Congress as well as outside in Indian society.

Описание:

Beirut is the cultural, commercial and economic hub of Lebanon. But to what extent has the city affected and shaped the formation and perceptions of Lebanese national identity? Ghenwa Hayek here explores how anxieties over the past, present and future of Beirut have been articulated through a sense of dislocation present in Lebanese writing since the 1960s. Drawing on theories of cultural studies, geography and history, the author uses an interdisciplinary framework to explore the role that spaces - from rural to urban - have played and continue to play in the defining, and re-defining, of national identity in the seventy years since the creation of the Lebanese nation state. This theoretical perspective coupled with a close reading of little-explored contemporary writings lead Hayek to question the predominant assumption that Lebanese novelists only became engaged in discourses about place identity and individual and social belonging with the start of the fifteen-year civil war and the destruction of Beirut's city centre.
Instead, the book shows that particular geographical imaginaries have been mobilized to describe, question and debate Lebanese identity since the 1960s and that some go back even further into the late nineteenth century. This re-reading calls for a re-evaluation of some of the most predominant assumptions about Lebanon and the processes of Lebanese identity formation across the country's modern history. Examining a wide range of modern and contemporary literature, Hayek charts the rise to cultural prominence of the city of Beirut as a significant player in shaping perceptions of Lebanese culture and identity.

Описание: In this engaging study of African diplomacy, Nigerian scholar Nwankwo Nwaeziegwe revisits the issue of cooperation between Arab nationalist governments and the nations of Sub-Saharan Africa. The book clinically explores the proper bases, character, and implications of Arab-Sub-Saharan relations through the lens of Arab nationalist diplomatic initiative and collective Black African development initiatives. It presents the Sub-Saharan African with the option of either continuing to regard the Arabs as a people with a common aspiration or putting them in the same neo-colonial basket as he has tended to put Europeans. The book’s main objective is to arrive at a proper understanding of the basis of Arab interest in Sub-Saharan Africa from the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, which brought the first Arab nationalist to power, and 1993, the year of the epoch-making Declaration of Principles (DOP) between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).Most importantly, the book examines the other face of the African predicament, which previous scholars of modern Africa have neglected. Ironically, the Arabs may have participated in undermining Sub-Saharan Africa’s development by promoting the institution of slavery, which was just as ruthless as the European experience of that phenomenon, if not worse. Nevertheless, due to Europe’s overwhelming dominance in the colonial era, the Arab role has often been downplayed against that of Europeans.

Описание: The celebration of the centenary of the Indian National Congress prompted a scholarly re-examination of that organization in the midst of an active international discussion about the nature of Indian society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Any group of historians who come together to give fresh consideration to the Congress – its organization, leadership, ideology and support – also join in the wider debate going on in Indian history. This volume, first published in 1991, reflects such an engagement with the full range of contemporary discussion, representing not just scholarship in five different countries but also quite distinct historiographical traditions. It surveys the origins and development of the Congress from its inception to its development up to Independence.

Описание: The Kosovo question posed a great challenge to the international order in the western Balkans for a number of decades prior to the outbreak of war in the 1990s. Yugoslavia, Albania, the USSR, the USA, and Great Britain have all been involved, directly or indirectly, in the question of Kosovo, especially in the period since World War II. In this book, Ethem Ceku studies the Albanian political movement in Kosovo and the efforts that it made to achieve its national programme between 1945 and 1981. He focuses particularly on questions of international diplomacy--looking especially at the roles of Albania and Yugoslavia in the Kosovo question.

Описание:

Le nationalisme europ?en a souvent ?t? interpr?t? comme la principale matrice id?ologique des dictatures et en particulier des fascismes. Prolongeant un premier volume consacr? ? Etre nationaliste ? l’?re des masses en Europe (1900-1920) ce second volet s’attache ? analyser les trajectoires et les attitudes comme les comportements des nationalistes au sein des r?gimes de dictature entre 1922 et 1945 dans l’Italie fasciste, l’Espagne de Primo de Rivera ? Franco, l’Allemagne nazie et la France de Vichy. Sur bien des points, il s’agissait d’une gageure cette recherche collective s’est heurt?e au fait que l’exp?rience m?me du v?cu de la dictature ne s’est pas d?roul? selon la m?me temporalit? historique pour les contemporains.

Malgr? cette difficult? inh?rente au sujet, l’?tude permet de tirer plusieurs enseignements sur la nature m?me de l’identit? du nationalisme confront? ? l’exercice du pouvoir. Bien des illusions sur ce point sont tomb?es pour tous ceux qui ?taient convaincus que la nation pouvait rester une valeur immuable. L’intensit? des crises qui a frapp? le continent europ?en jusqu’en 1945 a repr?sent? une ?preuve redoutable. Le nationalisme a d? faire preuve d’une grande capacit? d’adaptation pour r?pondre aux exigences de la gestion du nouveau pouvoir. Une v?ritable recomposition des ?lites s’est produite rendant plus fluide la circulation entre les tenants de la tradition et de la modernit?. Les id?ologies, m?me les plus structur?es comme le fascisme et le nazisme, n’en sortirent pas indemnes.

C’est l? un des effets paradoxaux l?gu?s par la dictature, celui d’avoir tr?s souvent contribu? ? reconfigurer l’id?ologie qui avait pourtant ?t? ? l’origine de la naissance m?me du r?gime. Le plus souvent, les accommodements l’ont emport? aux d?pens de l’id?ologie pour assurer le fonctionnement du nouvel Etat. Ce sont pr?cis?ment ces ph?nom?nes d’hybridation entre les ?lites dont il est question dans cet ouvrage dont l’ambition premi?re est de mieux comprendre comment fonctionnent concr?tement des dictatures marqu?es par le nationalisme.
