(BOOS)-The Nation and Its Fragments: Colonial and Postcolonial Histories (Princeton Studies: Transcript


In this book the prominent theorist Partha Chatterjee looks at the creative and powerful results of the nationalist imagination in Asia and Africa that are posited not on identity but on difference with the nationalism propagated by the West Arguing that scholars have been mistaken in equating political nationalism with nationalism as such he shows how anticolonialist nationalists produced their own domain of sovereignty within colonial society well before beginning their political battle with the imperial power These nationalists divided their culture into material and spiritual domains and staked an early claim to the spiritual sphere represented by religion caste women and the family and peasants Chatterjee shows how middleclass elites first imagined the nation into being in this spiritual dimension and then readied it for political contest all the while normalizing the aspirations of the various marginal groups that typify the spiritual sphereWhile Chatterjees specific examples are drawn from Indian sources with a copious use of Bengali language materials the book is a contribution to the general theoretical discussion on nationalism and the modern state Examining the paradoxes involved with creating first a uniquely nonWestern nation in the spiritual sphere and then a universalist nationstate in the material sphere the author finds that the search for a postcolonial modernity is necessarily linked with past struggles against modernity.

Michael Herzfeld describes what happens when a bureaucracy charged with historic conservation clashes with a local populace hostile to the state and suspicious of tourism. Focusing on the Cretan town of Rethemnos, once a center of learning under Venetian rule and later inhabited by the Turks, he examines major questions confronting conservators and citizens as they negotiate the ownership of history: Who defines the past? To whom does the past belong? What is traditional and how is this determined? Exploring the meanings of the built environment for Rethemnos\'s inhabitants, Herzfeld finds that their interest in it has more to do with personal histories and the immediate social context than with the formal history that attracts the conservators. He also investigates the inhabitants\' social practices from the standpoints of household and kin group, political association, neighborhood, gender ideology, and the effects of these on attitudes toward home ownership. In the face of modernity, where tradition is an object of both reverence and commercialism, Rethemnos emerges as an important ethnographic window onto the ambiguous cultural fortunes of Greece.
