Nationality, Citizenship, and Sociocultural Community

Abstract

Explores the social impacts of individuals' nationalist feelings, particularly in light of the world's growing internationalism. Historical & contemporary examples of nationalism & factors contributing to it are cited, comparing it to patriotism & citizenship. Nationalist conflicts are reviewed, describing how differences in minority & majority groups in terms of color (race) & language can lead to exploitation, particularly economically. It is argued that, with increased border crossing, nationalism may ebb, but nationalities will remain. K. Hyatt Stewart
