How do groups of people fashion shared identities in the modern
world? Following two communities of German-speaking Mennonites, one
composed of voluntary migrants and the other of refugees, across
four continents between 1870 and 1945, this transnational study
explores how religious migrants engaged with the phenomenon of
nationalism. John P. R. Eicher demonstrates how migrant groups
harnessed the global spread of nationalism to secure practical
objectives and create local mythologies. In doing so, he also
reveals how governments and aid organizations used diasporic groups
for their own purposes - and portraying such nomads as enemies or
heroes in national and religious mythologies. By underscoring the
importance of local and religious counter-stories that run in
parallel to nationalist narratives, Exiled Among Nations helps us
understand acts of resistance, flight, and diaspora in the modern
world.
