Pan-Turkism has had varied fortunes in the 20th century. It has played a continuing role, at times of great significance, in the internal politics of Turkey itself, and it has fuelled the national struggle of the Turkic groups beyond Turkey. An earlier version of this work was published by Hurst in 1981 as "Pan-Turkism in Turkey: A Study of Irredentism". The disintegration of the Soviet Union, the consequent establishment, in 1991, of six independent Turkic republics in the Caucasus and Central...

Beginning with the shattering of the traditional Jewish society during the Enlightenment, Viorst covers the recent history of the Jews, from the spread of Jewish Emancipation during the French Revolution Era to the rise of the exclusionary anti-Semitism that overwhelmed Europe in the late nineteenth century. Viorst examines how Zionism was born and follows its development through the lives and ideas of its dominant leaders, who all held only one tenet in common: that Jews, for the first time in...
National Symbols in Modern Iran (Modern Intellectual and Political History of the Middle East)
by Menahem Merhavy
Now more than ever the role of icons and monuments in shaping a national identity is a subject of vital importance to scholars of both nationalism and memory studies. While the nation-state undoubtedly has a powerful influence on a society's cultural memory, it cannot necessarily control the ways in which icons are perceived. Once created, national symbols and perceptions of them take on a life of their own. Taking an innovative approach to the study of Iranian nationalism, Merhavy examines the...

Huguenots, Jews & Bengledeshis Pb (British Politics and Society)
by Anne Kershen
The area of Spitalfields in East London has been one of the traditional gathering points for immigrants newly arrived to British shores. Over the past 300 years, several groups have established expatriate communities in the area, from French Huguenots to Jews to the area's most recent inhabitants, Bangladeshis. Anne Kershen uses this area and its shifting populations to provide an insight into Britain's treatment of immigrant groups throughout history.
Rosa Luxemburg, as leader of a workers' party in Poland, a country divided among three empires - Russian, German and Austrian - had necessarily to take a definite position on the national question. She held to this position from its formulation in 1896 in her first scientific research work, The Industrial Development of Poland, till the end of her life, despite sharp conflicts with Lenin on the subject.
Critically investigating Mahatma Gandhi's claim that his anti-colonial nationalism can remain untainted by violence, this study addresses important and timely questions that are central to the study of nationalism, and more broadly, to other forms of collective identity formation as well. Does the possibility exist for a nationalism that is not rooted in violence, either physical or conceptual/epistemic? Can adherents to a philosophy of nonviolence indeed forge national identities without conjur...
This widely-used and acclaimed text provides a comprehensive and balanced introduction to the main theoretical perspectives on nationalism.
