Because the situation in Iraq exhibits some of the standard
symptoms of religious nationalism, it seems appropriate to compare
it to other cases where the impulses of religion and nationalism
have also come together in a highly lethal way. This volume
provides a comparative consideration of attempts to manage and
resolve nationalist conflicts in Bosnia, Sri Lanka, and Sudan, and
examines how lessons from those situations might inform similar
efforts in Iraq. In their introduction, Professors Little and
Swearer review current scholarly thinking on the connection of
religious and ethnic factors to nationalist conflicts, and they
demonstrate the salience of religious and ethnic identity to these
conflicts. For each country, two prominent thinkers examine the
intersection of religion and ethnicity and the struggles to form a
nation-state. The volume also contains a summary of the discussion
on each country among 20 scholars, appendices providing background
on the three countries with which Iraq is compared, and maps of the
countries. The central role of ethnic and religious impulses in
forming the identity of a people or "nation" directly ties these
matters to nationalism and nationalist conflict.
