Nationalism was regarded as a positive force shaping "modern"
societies and states but in Europe it has been overshadowed by the
disasters of two world wars. Outside Europe it has continued to
enjoy a heyday throughout the 20th century. Covering Turkey, Iran,
Abghazia, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan, Afganistan, Pakistan and
Bangladesh, this study lays bare the counter-forces unleashed by
the project of nationalist modernization, and the stimulation of
identity politics as the result of ruthless repression of minority
languages, culture, traditions and religion - the life-blood of
minority ethnicity. This study examines how these policies, which
include Islam as the basis of nation-building in, for example,
Pakistan and the post-Pahlavi Iran, have strengthened identity
politics and the movements for opting out of the nation.
