In modern states, John Lie argues, ideas of race, ethnicity, and
nationality can be subsumed under the rubric of "peoplehood." He
argues indeed, that the modern state has created the idea of
peoplehood. That is, the seemingly primitive, atavistic feelings of
belonging associated with ethnic, racial, and national identity are
largely formed by the state. Not only is the state responsible for
the development and nurturing of these feelings, it is also
responsible for racial and ethnic conflict, even genocide. When
citizens think of themselves in terms of their peoplehood identity,
they will naturally locate the cause of all troubles--from
neighborhood squabbles to wars - in racial, ethnic, or national
attitudes and conflicts. Far from being transhistorical and
transcultural phenomena, race, ethnicity, and nation, Lie argues,
are modern notions - modernity here associated with the rise of the
modern state, the industrial economy, and Enlightenment ideas.
