Nationalism: an anthropological perspective

P Graham

8 points + 2 hours per week + First semester + Clayton

Synopsis The subject will examine the genesis of the nationalist thought in non-western societies (Indian, Japanese, West African, Arab, etc) to point to parallelism in development, and the comparability and similarity of western derivative and the indigenous content. It will also look at the social reformist, secularist and fundamentalist ideas that go into the making of the national-sectarian identities.
