Remaking the Nation: Place, Identity and Politics in Latin AmericaRemaking 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. The societies of Latin America have placed great weight on nation building. Yet, the nation is torn between the local and the global. Popular senses of affiliation to the nation are cross-cut by other bonds with communities and places; increasingly the countries of Latin America are experiencing the effects of globalisation. 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. |
