| Synopsis: |
This is a comparative study of nationalism and nation-building in Quebec, Catalonia and Scotland. All are historic nations within larger states. Nationalism is presented as a mechanism for dealing with the place of the territorial society in the new order. It is no longer concerned with the creation of a traditional nation state, but with maximizing autonomy in a world where the nation state has lost its old powers and status. The book argues that the concepts of ethnicity, nationalism and the state need to be separated. It defends minority nationalisms which are often treated with disdain by social scientists. It also argues that certain forms of minority nationalism, rather than representing a retreat to the past, can provide a means for coping with contemporary problems. It is written from the perspective of the minority nations themselves, rather than from that of the state. |
