Beyond Nations traces the evolution of 'peripheral' ethnic
homelands around the North Atlantic, from before transoceanic
contact to their current standing in the world political system.
For example, 'Megumaage', homeland of the Micmac is transformed
into the French colony of Acadia, then into the British colony of
Nova Scotia, and subsequently into the present Canadian province.
Centrally, Professor Chavez tracks the role of colonialism in the
transformation of such lands, but especially the part played by
federalism in moving beyond the ethnic and racial conflicts
resulting from imperialism. Significantly, Chavez gives attention
to the effects of these processes on the individual mind, arguing
that historically federalism has permitted the individual to
sustain and balance varying ethnic loyalties regionally,
nationally, and globally. Beyond Nations concludes with a
discussion of an evolving global imagination that takes into
account migrations, borderlands, and transnational communities in
an increasingly postcolonial and postnational world.
