*Alter, Peter - Nationalism, Edward Arnold, 1989

"....The stability of post-colonial borders (which have also been maintained because the new states insisted the United Nations do so) says nothing at all, however, about the success of nation building in the Third World. It is a process not far advanced in most cases, and therefore unrest and conflict continually come to the surface in these parts of the world. Countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Sudan and Cameroon are all products of colonialism; they are conglomerates of numerous peoples and tribes, linguistic and religious minorities. By comparison, the nationality problems that brought down Europe's old multinational empires at the end of the First World War appear mere trivia. It is clear that these states can only temporarily manage to contain tensions that exist between their various constituent groups. Forty years after the sub-continent was released from British colonial rule, the central government in India, for example, is burdened by the desire of states such as Assam and Nagaland and religious minorities such as the Sikhs to secede from the republic. Whether India is a multilingual nation or a multinational state is still open to debate. The only conclusion the history of twentieth-century southern Asia prompts is that nationalism has been an effective weapon for liberation from colonial rule; but in most cases has been powerless to build and sustain a solid political order. Sri Lanka, politically united again under British rule after having been divided into small kingdoms for centuries, is today threatened by civil war between the Buddhist Sinhalese and the Tamil minority..."

*Canovan, Margaret,  - Nationhood and Political Theory, October 1998

"...What is a nation? As all commentators on nations and nationalism agree, this is a subject on which it is extraordinarily hard to get a conceptual grip. Not that defining political phenomena is ever easy: any attempt to encapsulate a complex and variable phenomenon in a definition invites counter-examples, while the form of words chosen often has controversial political overtones. But the bulk of the literature on nationhood breathes an air of frustration that seems to have two sources, a sense that there is something peculiarly elusive about nations, reinforced by the feeling that they are in any case such ramshackle constructions of myth and illusion that they scarcely deserve serious analysis. This sense that there is something particularly odd about nationhood can only be increased by the perspective that I have so far adopted, since I have been implying on the one hand that its capacity to generate the political power presupposed by liberal democratic political theory makes nationhood highly significant, and on the other hand that this vitally important political phenomenon is nevertheless so unobtrusive that most political theorists somehow fail to notice it. I shall argue that all these peculiarities are interconnected, that the power of nationhood is indeed linked with its elusiveness, and that nations are exceedingly complex phenomena, the key to which lies in their ability to mediate between different aspects of social and political life..."

*Chatterjee, Partha - Nationalist Thought & the Colonial World - A Derivative Discourse published by Zed Books Ltd. for the United Nations University, 1986

"Nationalism denied the alleged inferiority of the colonised people; it also asserted that a backward nation could 'modernise' itself while retaining its cultural identity. It thus produced a discourse in which, even as it challenged the colonial claim to political domination, it also accepted the very intellectual premises of 'modernity' on which colonial domination was based. How are we to sort out these contradictory elements in nationalist discourse?.. how does one accept what is valuable in another's culture without losing one's own cultural identity?..."

From the backcover: Partha Chatterjee ... criticises Western theories of Third World nationalism - both liberal and Marxist. He demonstrates how Western theorists, with their emphasis on the power of reason, the primacy of the hard sciences and the dominance of the empirical method, have assumed that their presuppositions are universally valid, and, through the impact of Western education, have imposed concepts of nationalism on non-Western peoples to the detriment, if not destruction, of their own world-views. The author explores the central contradiction that nationalism in Africa and Asia has consequently experienced: setting out to assert its freedom from European domination, it yet remained a prisoner of European post-Enlightenment rationalist discourse... It anticipates a new generation of popular struggles that will redefine the content of Afro-Asian nationalism and the kinds of society people wish to build....

Professor Chatterjee trained in the United States, and has taught at many institutions including the Universities of Rochester and Amritsar. He has held visiting appointments at St Antony's College, Oxford, and the Australian National University, Among his many published works are Arms, Alliances and Stability (1975), The Stat of Political Theory (1987)(co-author), and Bengal 1920-1947: the Land question (1984). He is a member of the editorial group of Subaltern Studies: Writings on South Asian History and Society. He is currently Professor of Political Science at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences in Calcutta.

"From a review by  James C Voorhees: 'Walker Connor has been writing about ethno nationalism for decades. This is a much needed collection of his essays. They are well written and closely argued. The importance of his arguments for understanding ethnic conflicts in today's world can scarcely be overstated. If you believe that ethnicity and ethnic conflict can be explained by such easily defined things as differences in language, religion, or skin color, you must read this book.'"

"Since the development of the modern international system, statehood has been regarded as the paramount type of international personality; indeed, in doctrine if not in practice, States were for a time regarded as the only international persons. This is no longer so; but the political paramountcy of States over other international actors, with whatever qualifications, continues, and Statehood remains the central type of legal personality. Problems of definition and of application of the definition, of statehood thus occupy an important place in the structure of international law....Perhaps the most controversial issue in this area is the relationship between statehood and recognition..."

"....Exile is not primarily a geographical location, it is a state of mind through which one becomes what one has left behind. In the Tamil case many actually become what they have fled from. Between the extremes of the warrior and the victim the refugee must carry out his 'bricolage', assemble the pieces and carry on. For many this life project takes the form of internalised martyrdom, the fight for Eelam being replaced by a longing for Eelam which grows into a constant part of the personality and becomes a counterweight, the counterweight, to the vicissitudes of exile. What is characteristic of the Tamil exile situation, therefore, is a blurring of 'here' and 'there'; the dismembering of social networks, the re-membering of an imaginary homeland, the attachment of an imagined community to an imagined place. It is that from which they are excluded which makes them not only 'refugees' but ' Tamil refugees'...The grand narrative of revolutionary nationalism is adapted, by refugees who accept it, to provide a genesis of the diaspora....'When the atrocities of the Sinhalese terrorists increased, to protect our lives we fled...' This explanation goes beyond scientific history and represents a 'mythico-history'. Not because it is untrue but because the Tamils as a people are here heroised and placed within a more encompassing moral ordering of the world  where relationships and processes are reinterpreted within a dichotomy of good and evil...."

Gellner, Ernest, Professor of Social Anthropology at Cambridge University  *Nations and Nationalism  Basil Blackwell, Paperback, 1983 (**alternate link to Amazon.co.uk bookshop)

"....What then is this contingent, but in our age seemingly universal and normative, idea of the nation? Discussion of two very makeshift, temporary definitions will help to pinpoint this elusive concept.

(1) Two men are of the same nation if and only if they share the same culture, where culture in turn means a system of ideas and signs and associations and ways of behaving and communicating. 

(2 )Two men are of the same nation if and only if they recognize each other as belonging to the same nation. In other words, nations maketh man; nations are the artefacts of men's convictions and loyalties and solidarities.

A mere category of persons (say, occupants of a given territory, or speakers of a given language, for example) becomes a nation if and when the members of the category firmly recognize certain mutual rights and duties to each other in virtue of their shared membership of it. It is their recognition of each other as fellows of this kind which turns them into a nation, and not the other shared attributes, whatever they might be, which separate that category from non-members.

Each of these provisional definitions, the cultural and the voluntaristic, has some merit. Each of them singles out an element which is of real importance in the understanding of nationalism. But neither is adequate. Definitions of culture, presupposed by the first definition, in the anthropological rather than the normative sense, are notoriously difficult and unsatisfactory. It is probably best to approach this problem by using this term without attempting too much in the way of formal definition, and looking at what culture does..."

"The book surveys the current status of 210 nations that are not states, and which are not recognized by major countries as being independent political entities. Appendices list declarations of independence by nonstate nations since 1890, geographical distribution, and nationalist organizations.  Minahan discusses the problems involved in establishing criteria for inclusion. Antarctica, for example, publishes postage stamps, but has no citizens; Palestine has embassies but is not an independent state... "

This is an important book and will be essential reading for many in the Tamil diaspora. It contains a collection of articles on the central issues relating to national self determination and secession. Do nations have a right to collective self-determination?  If they do, what is it about nations that entitles them to this right? If not, are there any conditions in which a group can justifiably secede from a state? ... more

* Sankaran, Krishna - Postcolonial Insecurities: India, Sri Lanka, and the Question of Nationhood University of Minnesota Press,1999 [**also at amazon.co.uk] [suggested by a visitor to the site]

From the Publishers Note: "This ambitious work explores the vexed connections among nation-building, ethnic identity, and regional conflict by focusing on a specific event: Indian political and military intervention in the ethnic conflict between the Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka. Drawing on interviews with leading players in the Indian-Sri Lankan debacle, Sankaran Krishna offers a persuasive analysis of this episode. The intervention serves as a springboard to a broader inquiry into the interworkings of nation-building, ethnicity, and "foreign" policy. Krishna argues that the modernist effort to construct nation-states on the basis of singular notions of sovereignty and identity has reached a violent dead end in the postcolonial world of South Asia. Showing how the nationalist agenda that seeks to align territory with identity has unleashed a spiral of regional, statist, and insurgent violence, he makes an eloquent case for reimagining South Asia along postnational lines-as a "confederal" space. Postcolonial Insecurities counters the perception of "ethnicity" as an inferior and subversive principle compared with the progressive ideal of the "nation." Krishna, in fact, shows ethnicity to be indispensable to the production and reproduction of the nation itself. Sankaran Krishna is associate professor of political science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa."

Zimmer, Oliver. Nationalism in Europe, 1890-1940 (Studies in European History) A Contested Nation: History, Memory and Nationalism in Switzerland, 1761-1891,Oliver Zimmer examines the ways in which the Swiss defined their national identity in the nineteenth century, in the face of a changing domestic and international background. Zimmer explores why the nation became the focus of public concern at particular historical junctures, how different social actors created and re-created Swiss nationhood, and why the Swiss embraced some definitions rather than others. Beginning in the 1760s, which witnessed the genesis of an early national movement, the book ends in the 1890s when Switzerland developed into a modern nation.
