Conclusion -- Acknowledgments -- NotesReligion and nationalism are two of the most powerful forces in the world. And as powerful as they are separately, humans throughout history have fused religious beliefs and nationalist politics to develop religious nationalism, which uses religious identity to define membership in the national community. But why and how have modern nationalists built religious identity as the foundational signifier of national identity in what sociologists have predicted would be a more secular world? This book takes two cases - nationalism in both Ireland and Turkey in the 20th century - as a foundation to advance a new theory of religious nationalism. By comparing cases, Goalwin emphasizes how modern political actors deploy religious identity as a boundary that differentiates national groups This theory argues that religious nationalism is not a knee-jerk reaction to secular modernization, but a powerful movement developed as a tool that forges new and independent national identities.NationalismReligious aspectsIslamfast(OCoLC)fst01033859NationalismReligious aspectsCatholic Churchfast(OCoLC)fst01033854NationalismReligious aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst01033849Islam and statefast(OCoLC)fst00979890Church and statefast(OCoLC)fst00860509Islam and stateTurkeyChurch and stateIrelandNationalismReligious aspectsIslamNationalismReligious aspectsCatholic ChurchNationalismTurkeyReligious aspectsNationalismIrelandReligious aspectsTurkeyfastIrelandfastbelief, religion, nationalism, nation building, national identity, religious identity, community, Turkey, Ireland, 20th century, twentieth century, secular, secularism, independence, modern, modernization, politics, identity, Catholicism, Catholic Church, Islam.NationalismReligious aspectsIslam.NationalismReligious aspectsCatholic Church.NationalismReligious aspects.Islam and state.Church and state.Islam and stateChurch and stateNationalismReligious aspectsIslam.NationalismReligious aspectsCatholic Church.NationalismReligious aspects.NationalismReligious aspects.201/.72Goalwin Gregory J1729308MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910838311903321Borders of Belief4139083UNINA
