In this book Processor Barnett analyzes a successful political
movement in South India that used cultural nationalism as a
positive force for change. By exploring the history of the Dravida
Munnetra Kazhagam party, the author provides a new perspective on
political identity. In so doing, she challenges the interpretation
of cultural nationalism as a product of atavistic and primordial
forces that poses an inherent threat to the integrity of
territorially defined nation-states and thus to the progress of
modernization. The founding of the DMK party in 1949, the author
shows, was a turning point in the political history of Tamil Nadu,
South India, because it ushered in the era of Tamil cultural
nationalism. In the hands of the DMK, Tamil nationalism became an
ideology of mass mobilization and thus shaped the articulation of
political demands for a generation. The author analyzes the social,
political, and economic factors that gave rise to cultural
nationalism; the interplay between cultural nationalist leaders;
and the role of cultural nationalism in a heterogeneous
nation-state. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
