The societies of Latin America have placed great weight on nation building, yet each one is torn between the global and the local. Affiliation to one's own nation is cross-cut by other bonds with communities and places; increasingly each individual, each family and each nation in this region is feeling the effects of globalization.
"ReMaking the Nation" presents new ways of thinking about the nation, nationalism and national identities. Drawing links between popular culture and indigenous movements, issues of race and gender, and ideologies of national identity, the authors draw on their extensive work in Latin America to illustrate their rethinking of the politics of nationalism. This engaging exploration of contemporary politics in a post new-world-order uncovers a map of future political organization, a world of pluri-nations in the ever-changing struggle for democracy.
