This book focuses on transformations of political culture from
times past to future-present. It defines the meaning of political
culture and explores the cultural values and institutions of
kinship communities and dynastic intermediaries, including
chiefdoms and early states. It systematically examines the rise and
gradual universalization of modern sovereign nation-states.
Contemporary debates concerning nationality, nationalism,
citizenship, and hyphenated identities are engaged. The authors
recount the making of political culture in the American
nation-state and look at the processes of internal colonialism in
the American experience, examining how major ethnic, sectarian,
racial, and other distinctions arose and congealed into social and
cultural categories. The book concludes with a study of the
Holocaust, genocide, crimes against humanity, and the political
cultures of violation in post-colonial Rwanda and in racialized
ethno-political conflicts in various parts of the world. Struggles
over legitimacy in nation-building and state-building are at the
heart of this new take on the important role of political culture.
