This collection of papers discusses the impact of diasporas on the
articulations and practices of legal, political, cultural and
social citizenship in their country of origin. While the majority
of current citizenship debates focus on the challenges and
directions in which diasporic and migrant communities impact on the
citizenship regime in their country of settlement, the papers in
this volume approach the study of citizenship from the perspective
of the link between the sending state and its diasporic communities
abroad. The papers discuss the role of language, religion, kinship,
and other ethnic markers in diaspora politics and trace their
implications for the articulations and practices of citizenship.
Through discussing cases across political and geographical
spectrums, and from different historical epochs the book broadens
and enriches the debate on citizenship by demonstrating important
ways in which diasporas impact on the delineation of citizenship
regimes and the politics of national identity in their homeland.
This links to the continued use of language as an ethnic marker,
but also one which may be learned, allowing a certain degree of
choice and shifting affiliations amongst putative members of a
diaspora. This book was published as a special issue of Nationalism
and Ethnic Politics.
This book develops new ways of thinking beyond the nation as a form
of political community by seeking to transcend ethnonational
categories of 'us' and 'them'. Drawing on scholarship and cases
spanning Pacific Asia and Europe, it steps outside assumptions
linking nation to state. Accessible yet theoretically rich, it
explores how to think about nationhood beyond narrow binaries and
even broader cosmopolitan ideals. Using cutting-edge critical
research, it fundamentally challenges the positive connotations of
British patriotism and UK politics' increasingly shrill
anti-immigrant discourse, pointing to how these continue to
reproduce vocabularies of belonging that are dependent on
ethnonational and racialised categorisations. With a
cross-continental focus, this book offers alternative ways of
thinking about togetherness and belonging that are premised on
mobility rather than rootedness, thereby providing a constructive
agenda for critical nationalism studies.

The book, now available in paperback, examines the power of
nationalism to solder nation-states back together rather than break
them apart. In this innovative, cross-continental comparison of
nation-building in Germany and Vietnam, the focus is on their
shared experience of division, communism and regional integration,
offering original insights into how governments go about
maintaining nation-state legitimacy in the twenty-first century.
Neither German nor Vietnamese governments have succeeded in
effacing national division, for a host of historical, economic,
psychological, sociological and even climatic reasons. Yet their
efforts tell us a great deal about how national identity is
negotiated today. The study offers a fresh perspective on
nationalist ideology which will be of interest to specialists and
students in comparative politics, European and Southeast Asian
studies as well as nationalism studies. For the general reader, it
provides a fascinating introduction to contemporary nation-building
in a unique combination of cases across two continents. -- .
