This book takes a unique approach to explore the moral foundations
of nationalism. Drawing on nationalist writings and examining
almost 200 years of nationalism in Ireland and Quebec, the author
develops a theory of nationalism based on its role in
representation. The study of nationalism has tended towards the
construction of dichotomies - arguing, for example, that there are
political and cultural, or civic and ethnic, versions of the
phenomenon. However, as an object of moral scrutiny this
bifurcation makes nationalism difficult to work with. The author
draws on primary sources to see how nationalists themselves argued
for their cause and examines almost two hundred years of
nationalism in two well-known cases, Ireland and Quebec. The author
identifies which themes, if any, are common across the various
forms that nationalism can take and then goes on to develop a
theory of nationalism based on its role in representation. This
representation-based approach provides both a basis for the moral
claim of nationalism while at the same time identifying grounds on
which this claim can be evaluated and limited. It will be of strong
interest to political theorists, especially those working on
nationalism, multiculturalism and minority rights. The special
focus in the book on the Irish and Quebec cases also makes it
relevant reading for specialists in these fields as well as for
other area studies where nationalism is an issue.
