How Soon We Forget
Scholars in genocide studies have covered much ground in identifying causes and consequences of genocides. But much less has been done in the area of genocide recognitions: Why have countries recognized some genocides but not others? Strategic and economic relations with perpetrator states, or the influence of diasporan ethnic minorities are often assumed as causes, but we propose that conceptions of national identity may underlie these other fac…
Technologies of nationalism
This paper examines the relationship between First World War Centenary commemoration and state-sponsored nationalism in New Zealand. In the national museum’s Gallipoli exhibition, commemoration shifts from its traditional emphasis upon military sacrifice for the nation. Film-related special effects technology promotes individual affective identification with suffering and loss, but also extolls the ingenious achievements and talents of both New Z…
Strangers in their own land
Since the election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency last November, there has been much talk amongst liberals and progressives about the ‘bubble’ in which they have found themselves. In the lead
The Neoliberal State and the Uses of Indigenous Culture
The strong public support for displays of Maori culture since the mid-1980s in New Zealand under biculturalism appears paradoxical. Cultural values of respect for tradition, community, hierarchy, and attachment to place are promoted abroad and incorporated into public institutions at home at the same time as neoliberal economic policies emphasize individualism, self-reliance, rational behavior, and mobility. This article argues that Maori cultura…
Staging the nation at expos and world's fairs
World's fairs provide a stage on which nations display and promote their identities in both a global and commercial context. From the 1851 Great Exhibition, nations identified themselves via mass arrays of products and materials. As the technology of display came to dominate in the twentieth century, nations used film to project their identities through amusing experiences for visitors. In contemporary Expos, national displays blend corporate bra…

Justifying Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism has been criticised for emphasising cultural recognition over resource redistribution for minority cultural and ethnic groups. Moreover, critics argue that cultural diversity fails to provide enough common ground upon which to sustain civic nationalism. This paper examines the development of multiculturalist and biculturalist policies in Australia and New Zealand, and argues that these have in fact been justified in terms of a ne…

Deliberation and Past Injustice
Debate over the historical mistreatment of its indigenous Aboriginal people emerged during the late 1990s as one of the dominant features of public discourse in Australia. Such public attention to issues of indigenous race relations was unprecedented – mainstream ignorance about the history and experience of indigenous peoples since European settlement had been widespread in Australia through most of the twentieth century. In 1991, however, the L…
John Stuart Mill on the Antipodes
J.S. Mill's support for colonialism and empire has attracted recent critical attention in the context of debates about his status as a modern egalitarian liberal, and liberalism's historical justification for empire. While Mill defended imperialism for most of his life on the grounds that it brought progress and civilization to historically backward peoples, his later correspondence reveals that he became increasingly concerned that settler viole…
Liberalism's Identity Problem
Liberal political theory has been accused of political irrelevance by theorists of identity politics, for failing to recognize the role of gender, race and other group membership in shaping political claims. National identity has been an exception: "cultural liberals" such as Will Kymlicka argue that autonomy requires the recognition and preservation of national culture, which he distinguishes from other forms of group membership. In this article…
