- The Clash Within
- Martha C. Nussbaum
- While America is focused on religious militancy and terrorism in the Middle East, democracy has been under siege from religious extremism in another critical part of the world. As Nussbaum reveals in this penetrating look at India today, the forces of the Hindu right pose a disturbing threat to its democratic traditions and secular state. Nussbaum's long-standing professional relationship with India makes her an excellent guide to its recent history.

- Flag Wars and Stone Saints
- Nancy M. Wingfield
- In a new perspective on the formation of national identity in Central Europe, Wingfield analyzes what many historians have treated separately--the construction of the Czech and German nations--as a larger single phenomenon. Numerous illustrations show how people absorbed, on many levels, visual clues that shaped how they identified themselves and their groups.

- A Mirror of England
- Marvin Arthur Breslow
- In this perceptive study of the Puritans' contribution to English nationalism between 1618 and 1640, Breslow analyzes their attitudes toward foreign nations. He demonstrates how their views of the warring European nations also expressed certain aspects of their thinking about England and how in these views there was mirrored an image of England--an image against which they measured the religion and patriotism of the true Englishman.

- Because the situation in Iraq exhibits standard symptoms of religious nationalism, it seems appropriate to relate it to other cases where the impulses of religion and nationalism have collided in a lethal way. This volume provides a comparative consideration of attempts to manage and resolve nationalist conflicts in Bosnia, Sri Lanka, and Sudan--with two prominent thinkers examining each case--and examines how lessons from those situations might inform similar efforts in Iraq.

- Long before Rumania existed as a sovereign state, Rumanians struggled for national identity in Transylvania, an area in Eastern Europe of great ethnic and cultural diversity. The growth of their national consciousness between 1780 and 1849 affords an intriguing case study in nationalism. Hitchins gives us in this book the first systematic survey and analysis of the movement--its leadership, techniques, and literary and political manifestations.

- The Shanghai Capitalists and the Nationalist Government, 1927-1937, Second Edition
- Parks Coble
- A common generalization about the Nationalist Government in China during the 1927-1937 decade has been that Chiang Kai-shek's regime was closely allied with the capitalists in Shanghai. This book brings to light a different picture. The study documents major political conflicts between the capitalists and the government and demonstrates that the regime gradually suppressed the main organizations of the capitalists and gained control of many of their financial and industrial enterprises.
