Nationalism and Intra-State Conflicts in the Postcolonial World Hardback
Edited by Fonkem Achankeng
Part of the Conflict and Security in the Developing World series
Hardback
Description
This book highlights the complexities of nationalism and the struggles of different groups left unaddressed within the nation-states of a postcolonial world.
The central question is what happened to the worldly and radical visions of freedom, liberty, and equality that animated intellectual activists and policy makers from Woodrow Wilson in the 1920s?
This book analyzes the outcome of lumping disparate groups of people together under one nation-state and holding them together against the knowledge of the incompatibility theory of plural states.
In a world of arbitrarily and colonially mapped sovereign states, groups, and nations with distinctive histories and cultures trapped within the borders of sovereign states want the freedom to decide their own destinies.
This book challenges, deconstructs, and decolonizes Western epistemologies related to postcolonial state formation and maintenance.
In examining the freedom concept that no human group ought to be determining the independence of other human groups, this book constructs an alternative conceptualization of nations and peoples’ rights in the twenty-first century, in which radical hopes and global dreams are recognized as central to internal nationalism struggles.
