Affiliation to one's own nation is cross-cut by other bonds with communities and places; increasingly each individual, each family and each nation in this region is feeling the effects of globalization. "ReMaking the Nation" presents new ways of thinking about the nation, nationalism and national identities. Drawing links between popular culture and indigenous movements, issues of race and gender, and ideologies of national identity, the authors draw on their extensive work in Latin America to illustrate their rethinking of the politics of nationalism. This engaging exploration of contemporary politics in a post new-world-order uncovers a map of future political organization, a world of pluri-nations in the ever-changing struggle for democracy. |

| Publisher Description: Remaking the Nation presents new ways of thinking about the nation, nationalism and national identities. Drawing links between popular culture and indigenous movements, issues of 'race' and gender, and ideologies of national identity, the authors draw on their work in Latin America to illustrate their retheorisation of the politics of nationalism. This engaging exploration of contemporary politics in a postmodern, post new-world-order uncovers a map of future political organisation, a world of pluri-nations and ethnicised identities in the ever-changing struggle for democracy. |
