  • State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 3

    John Maldonado, Augustin E Ferraro et al.BOOKState and Nation Making in Latin…2023

    Neoliberalism is often studied as a political ideology, a government program, and even as a pattern of cultural identities. However, less attention is paid to the specific institutional resources employed by neoliberal administrations, which have resulted in the configuration of a neoliberal state model. This accessible volume compiles original essays on the neoliberal era in Latin America and Spain, exploring subjects such as neoliberal public p…

  • The consequences of nationalism: A scholarly exchange

    Open AccessM Vom Hau, Marc Helbling et al.ARTICLENations and Nationalism2023Cited by: 5References: 100

    The main thrust of the scholarship on nationalism has so far been concerned with its origins. But nationalism also has effects. Whether it underpins the nation‐building efforts of states, is mobilised by counter‐state forces or is used in everyday life, nationalism might implicate a wide range of substantive outcomes, including political regimes, public goods provision, citizenship and immigration laws, and different patterns of conflict. Yet—wit…

  • Democratization and Memories of Violence: Ethnic Minority Rights Movements in Mexico, Turkey and El Salvador

    The rise of modern nation-states has been accompanied by unprecedented levels of violent ethnic conflict. The nationalist principle that ethnic likes should rule ethnic likes has led states to acti

  • Bridging Regionalism and Secessionism: Territorial Autonomy Movements in the Iberian World

    Open AccessM Vom Hau, Hana SrebotnjakARTICLENationalities Papers2021References: 60

    In comparative works on nationalism, Latin America is usually portrayed as a world region that is devoid of nationalist and separatist movements, while in Europe nationalist movements seeking greater self-determination or separate statehood can be easily observed. This article takes a different perspective. Applying the concept of territorial autonomy movements, it pursues a cross-regional comparison of Santa Cruz in Bolivia, Guayas in Ecuador, a…

  • Textbooks, Postcards, and the Public Consolidation of Nationalism in Latin America

    Open AccessAnna Kyriazi, M Vom HauARTICLEQualitative Sociology2020Cited by: 7References: 52

    The existing macro-historical scholarship tends to assert rather than demonstrate the wider impact of nationalism. Yet, state-sponsored national ideologies permeate the broader reaches of society to varying degrees. To investigate variations in the consolidation of official nationalism, this paper combines the content analysis of school textbooks as state-regulated and picture postcards as primarily market-driven sources. Building on this novel m…

  • Transforming the Nation? The Bolivarian Education Reform in Venezuela

    Open AccessJonathan Abbott, JARED A ABBOTT et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latin American Studies2017Cited by: 2References: 21

    The Chávez government introduced a ‘Bolivarian’ national curriculum to promote radically different understandings of Venezuelan history and identity. We place the fate of this reform initiative within the broader study of state formation and nationalism. Scholars have long identified mass schooling as the key institution for socialising citizens and cultivating national loyalties, and many states have attempted to alter the nationalist content of…

  • Ethnicity in Time: Politics, History, and the Relationship between Ethnic Diversity and Public Goods Provision

    Open AccessPrerna Singh, M Vom HauARTICLEComparative Political Studies2016Cited by: 41References: 128

    This article revisits and seeks to challenge one of the most powerful hypotheses in the political economy scholarship: the supposedly negative relationship between ethnic diversity and public goods provision. We suggest that the relative lack of attention to politics and history makes much of this literature vulnerable to endogeneity problems. In response, we develop a state-centered approach that brings time and temporality to the analytical for…

  • The Argentine Silent Majority: Middle Classes, Politics, Violence, and Memory in the Seventies

    M Vom HauARTICLESocial Forces2016

    In the 1970s, Argentina witnessed guerrilla movements, military authoritarianism, and state terror. While these years of la violencia have been the subject of a burgeoning scholarship, most works have focused on politicized actors, whether radicalized youths, revolutionaries or intellectual elites, or the perpetrators and victims of state violence. The Argentine Silent Majority breaks new ground by exploring a largely ignored collectivity: middle…

  • Ethnicity, State Capacity, and Development: Reconsidering Causal Connections

    Prerna Singh, M Vom HauCHAPTERPolitics of Inclusive Development2014

    A large and influential literature in political economy argues that ethnic fractionalization impedes public goods provision. This chapter critically reassesses the main causal mechanism that supports this body of scholarship. Most of the works in this research tradition focus on inter-ethnic cooperation, hypothesizing that ethnic fractionalization leads to conflicting preferences, which in turn prevent inter-ethnic cooperation, either to generate…

  • Migration, Race and Nationhood in Argentina

    Tanja Bastia, M Vom HauARTICLENew Community2014Cited by: 16References: 21

    Argentina has been a country of immigration since the Republican period. Moreover migration has played a key role in the construction of Argentinian nationhood. This paper traces migration policies and official accounts of migration from the nineteenth century to the present day in order to analyse the role of migration in nation-making. We argue that migration policies and official accounts of migration have changed significantly over the last 1…

  • Nationalism and war commemoration – a L atin A merican exceptionalism

    Open AccessM Vom HauARTICLENations and Nationalism2012Cited by: 2References: 18

    Recent scholarship on collective memory and nationalism in L atin A merica argues that – in sharp contrast to E urope – war commemoration has been of little importance to the memory work of states in the region. The article challenges this claim. A comparative‐historical analysis of school textbooks and school ceremonies in twentieth‐century M exico, A rgentina and P eru reveals that the commemoration of major civil and international wars was cen…

  • ‘We Have Always Lived Here’: Indigenous Movements, Citizenship and Poverty in Argentina

    M Vom Hau, Guillermo WildeARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2010

    This article explores the nexus between indigenous mobilisation, citizenship, and poverty in Argentina. A subnational comparison of land struggles among the Diaguita Calchaqu in Tucumn and the Mbya Guaran in Misiones shows that changing global and national opportunity structures, most prominently a new multicultural citizenship regime, set the stage for indigenous mobilisation. In turn, local transformations of capitalist development motivate ind…

  • Unpacking the School: Textbooks, Teachers, and the Construction of Nationhood in Mexico, Argentina, and Peru

    Open AccessM Vom Hau, Matthias vom Hau Matthias vom HauARTICLELatin American Research Review2010

    This article examines trajectories of nationalism in twentieth-century Argentina, Mexico, and Peru through the analytical lens of schooling. I argue that textbooks reveal state-sponsored conceptions of nationhood. In turn, the outlooks and practices of teachers provide a window for understanding how state ideologies were received, translated, and reworked within society. During the late nineteenth century, textbooks in Mexico, Argentina, and Peru…

  • The Nazi Ancestral Proof: Genealogy, Racial Science, and the Final Solution

    M Vom Hau, M HauARTICLEGerman History2010

    Nazi Germany was a society obsessed with racial purity. Racial categories determined whether a person could get or retain a job in the civil service, become a member or a leader in Nazi organizations, or an officer in the army. ‘Aryan’ ancestry was also a precondition for obtaining social entitlements from the Nazi welfare state. During the war, the ability to prove that one did not have Jewish ancestors became a question of life and death. In th…

  • Gesunder Leben: Die Lebensreformbewegung im 20. Jahrhundert

    M Vom Hau, M HauARTICLESocial History of Medicine2009

    Gesünder leben (‘Healthier Living’) is based on a dissertation from the University of Frankfurt. While the title promises a study of the so-called ‘life reform movement’, a term that usually encompasses a range of popular hygienic reform movements such as vegetarianism, natural therapy, and physical culture, Fritzen's study is much more narrow in scope. The core of the book deals with a commercial aspect of life reform during the twentieth centur…
