British Identities before Nationalism: Ethnicity and Nationhood in the Atlantic World, 1600-1800British Identities before Nationalism: Ethnicity and Nationhood in the Atlantic World, 1600-1800

This book examines the status and uses of ethnicity in political debate during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the era that immediately preceded the onset of modern racialist and nationalist thinking. Ranging widely across the political cultures of England, Scotland, Ireland and revolutionary America, it also considers European influences and comparisons as well as engaging historically with current debates over nationalism and identity.

Dickens, Journalism and Nationhood - Mapping the World in Household WordsDickens, Journalism and Nationhood - Mapping the World in Household Words

Dickens, Journalism, and Nationhood examines Charles Dickens' weekly family magazine Household Words in order to develop a detailed picture of how the journal negotiated, asserted and simultaneously deconstructed Englishness as a unified (and sometimes unifying) mode of expression. It offers close readings of a wide range of materials that self-consciously focus on the nature of England and Britain as well as the relationship between Britain and the European continent, Ireland, and the British colonies.

The Pull of Postcolonial Nationhood: Gender and Migration in Francophone African LiteraturesThe Pull of Postcolonial Nationhood: Gender and Migration in Francophone African Literatures

Gender, Migration, and the Claims of Postcolonial Nationhood in Francophone Africa examines three major migrant women writers from Francophone Africa Ken Bugul, Calixthe Beyala, and Fatou Diome. Ayo A. Coly studies what home means in the context of migration and how gender shapes the meaning of home. This is the first study to bring together migrant women from Francophone Africa. This is also the first study to offer a feminist critique of postnationalist discourses of home, specifically the application of postnationalism to the postcolonial context.
