Exploring the processes of nation building from a variety of ethnic and social class contexts, it focuses on the contested terrains within which nationalist ideologies are often rooted. Mac Laughlin offers a theoretical and empirical analysis of nation building, taking as a case study the historical connections between Ireland and Great Britain in the clash between 'big nation' historic British nationalism on the one hand, and minority Irish nationalism on the other. Locating the origins of the historic nation in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Mac Laughlin emphasises the difficulties, and specifities, of minority nationalisms in the nineteenth century. In so doing he calls for a place-centred approach which recognises the symbolic and socio-economic significance of territory to the different scales of nation-building. Exploring the evolution of Irish Nationalism, Reimaging the Nation State also shows how minority nations can challenge the hegemony of dominant states and threaten the territorial integrity of historic nations. 606 $aIrish question 606 $aNational characteristics, Irish$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aNationalism$zIreland$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aIreland$xPolitics and government$y19th century 615 0$aIrish question. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Irish$xHistory 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 676 $a941.5081 700 $aMac Laughlin$b Jim$01490041 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779903803321 996 $aReimagining the nation-state$93756540 997 $aUNINA
