History 2082
Comparative Nationalisms
Irina Livezeanu
Evelyn Rawski
Nationalism studies has grown impressively in the last two decades in response to a new wave of nationalist movements erupting in many parts of the world, some of these producing violence and wars. The literature on nationalism has also expanded. This readings seminar will explore some of the main themes, trends, and debates in the field. There is substantial choice in the readings assigned, and you should read in the fields that are closest to your own geographic needs and interests.
The following web sites may prove useful:

http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/gellner/index.htm The Ernest Gellner Resource Page
In addition to regional and general historical journals, such as for example the AHR or Contemporary European History, the following periodicals are devoted primarily to the study of nationality, nationalism and ethnicity:
· Nations and Nationalism
· Ab Imperio: Theory and History of Nationalities and nationalism, in the post-soviet realm
· Asian Ethnicity
· Ethnic and Racial Studies
· Nationalism and Ethnic Politics
· Nationalities Papers (non-Russian nationalities of the former USSR and national minorities in Eastern and Central Europe)
· National Identities
· Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism
Reading assignments:
Students are asked to do several theoretical readings at the beginning of the course to establish the parameters of discussion for the duration of the seminar and beyond. During the case studies portion of the course, everyone will do the starred “core reading” each week. In addition, you are asked to read at least one book or article in the geographical/historical region of your concentration. Additions to the bibliography provided by us are most welcome. If you are preparing for an M.A. or Ph.D. exam that includes issues connected to the themes of this seminar, you may wish to take this opportunity to put together a bibliography on nationalism, nation building or ethnicity for the pertinent area of your world.
Written assignments:
We require two papers 10-15 pages in length. These should engage with the themes and theories of the common readings assigned and give you an opportunity to examine more deeply literature on national/nationalism/ethnic phenomena in your part of the world. The papers could also be comparative in scope. Please discuss your topics with us, as well as the papers once completed and graded. The first paper is due by October 14, the second by December 9. Please use either MLA or social science citation methods but be consistent. The papers should include both footnotes and a bibliography of sources used. You are of course expected to give proper credit to the sources used and indicate your use of quotations or paraphrase appropriately.

3. Ethnic/Race nationalism vs. citizenship
Questions for discussion: Define ethnicity. (How do different authors define it?) Ethnic movements have sometimes coincided with state formation; at other times they have resisted the state. Compare the two contexts and analyze the definitions of ethnicity used in each type of movement. Are they the same?

4. Religion and Nationalism
Questions for discussion: Religious systems are defined, defended and disseminated not only by religious specialists but also by nationalist leaders, or by imperial leaders aiming to forestall insugent nationalities. Is the use/misuse of religion as a marker for nationalist identity appropriate in all settings? If not, why not? If so, why?

5. Histories of the Nation
Questions for discussion: What effect does the retroactive rewriting of the “history of the nation” have on nationalist movements? How does one detect this kind of rewriting?
