Early Eastern Indo‐Aryan Case: Evidence From the Caryāpada 1
The history of the case systems of the Eastern Indo‐Aryan languages is characterised by the radical reduction of the set of inherited nominal morphology, leaving only a generic oblique marker in the modern languages. At the same time, the case systems of these languages have been expanded through univerbation of postpositions, typically including a genitive, locative and a dative‐accusative. However, the interaction of these two groups is not str…

Thor's hammer: How warfare enables and disables nation formation
Scholars have neglected at a theoretical level the structuring role of warfare in the rise of nations and states. I argue that war‐making has been a constitutive force in the emergence and persistence of many national identities in four ways. First, wars can act as ‘turning points’ for good or ill to become national mythomoteurs. Second, they can create enduring popular we–they stereotypes against significant others. Third, they can generate a ge…
Symposium for Miroslav Hroch
Twelve historians and social scientists reflect on Miroslav Hroch's contributions to the field of nationalism studies. There are essays on his pioneering comparative historical studies of ‘small nation’ national movements and his distinction between nationalism and national movements. Other essays focus on concepts such as those of protagonist, the three phases of national movements, the small nation and nationally relevant conflict of interest. …

The Continuing Relevance of George L. Mosse to the Study of Nationalism
This article explores four aspects of George L. Mosse’s legacy in the field of nationalism. First, it examines his wrestling with the normative complexities of nationalism, reflected in his horror of integralist nationalism (exemplified in fascism) that was in tension with his sympathy with liberal Zionism. Second, it discusses Mosse’s innovative anthropological approach to nationalism as a form of culture that aligns him with the ethno-symbolic …
Nations and nationalism: The First Twenty‐five Years
This paper reflects on salient aspects of the development of Nations and Nationalism over its first twenty‐five years to become the leading journal in its field. It outlines the context of its founding, its interdisciplinary character and the objectives to establish the subject of nationalism as a separate field of study. It discusses the strategies to advance the journal as a forum for scholarly exchange and how the journal has evolved. It outli…
Audrey Smedley: A Pioneers’ Pioneer Anthropologist
The making of an antiracist anthropologist is explored through the life experiences of a premier social scientist, Audrey Smedley. Examination of her childhood experiences and academic career provide a lens for understanding race and racism in the U S. Smedley earned degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of Manchester in the UK and also studied in Paris. This chapter also gives us a glimpse into the making of her classic Race…
Champions of Charity: War and the Rise of the Red Cross
This book introduces the first champions of the cause of charity toward the sick and wounded: the Genevan philanthropists and physicians. It focuses on the international Red Cross movement from the first Geneva conference in 1863 until the Tenth Conference in 1921

Bringing the study of warfare into theories of nationalism
This article argues that warfare has been marginalised in theories of nationalism but that in conjunction with nationalism is vital for understanding the rise of nation‐states, the formation of nations and the nature of the international system. It offers a critique of statist approaches, suggests mechanisms through which warfare may sacralise nations and explores different patterns of nation‐state formation as they affect the interstate system. …
Nationalism and War
This interdisciplinary book is the first systematic study of the relationship between nationalism and war and, as such, makes an original contribution to theories of nationalism and state formation. It offers a dynamic and interactive framework by which to understand the role of warfare in its changing manifestations in the rise of nation-states, the formation of national communities, definitions of political rights and duties, and the transforma…
John Hope, the Foot-Ball Club of 1824 and its sporting legacy
The Foot-Ball Club which was formed in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city, in 1824, is the world’s first known organization dedicated to football. Founded by John Hope, then a student lawyer, it remained active until 1841, yet during its existence the club kept a low profile and not a single mention of its activities has been located in contemporary newspapers. This absence raises the pertinent question as to what other football activities may al…
Disrupting the heritage of place: Practising counter-archaeologies at Dumby, Scotland
The notion of counter-archaeology is echoed by the opposing faces of the volcanic plug of Dumbarton Rock, Scotland. On the one side is the ‘official’ heritage of Dumbarton Castle, with its upstanding seventeenth-century military remains and underlying occupation evidence dating back to at least the eighth centuryad. On the other side lies a landscape of climbing, bouldering and post-industrial abandonment. This paper develops counter-archaeology …
Professor Anthony D. Smith: An obituary
Golden Ages
Golden age myths are a feature of many nationalisms. Scholars differ over whether they are instrumental inventions or arise out of a concern for meaning. There are various types of golden age and they may serve various purposes. Although it is argued that they are integrative, they can also generate conflicts. Their emergence is closely linked to the rise of a disaffected intelligentsia. How central they are to the success of nationalist movement…
Debate on Azar Gat's Nations: The Long History and Deep Roots of Political Ethnicity and Nationalism
Cultural Nationalism
Nationalism is usually conceived of as a state-oriented political project. There has been much less scholarly focus on nationalists whose primary aim is the formation of national communities. In this chapter I argue that we need to give more attention to cultural nationalist movements that precede or accompany state-oriented nationalisms. Originating amongst historicist intellectuals, these movements may develop into significant ethno-historical …

The development of comprehension and reading-related skills in children learning English as an additional language and their monolingual, English-speaking peers
Background. A significant number of pupils in UK schools learn English as an additional language (EAL). Relative differences between the educational attainment of this group and monolingual, English-speaking pupils call for an exploration of the literacy needs of EAL learners. Aims. This study explores the developmental progression of reading and listening comprehension skills and a range of reading-related skills in EAL learners, whose first lan…
Anthropology as White Public Space
How far has anthropology come in becoming racially inclusive? In this article, we analyze an online survey of anthropology graduate students and faculty of color undertaken by the AAA Commission on Race and Racism in Anthropology. Despite some progress, institutional and attitudinal barriers remain. We use the concept of "white public space" to analyze these barriers: departmental labor is divided in ways that assign to faculty and graduate stude…
Diaspora Dilemmas and Shifting Allegiances: The Irish in London between Nationalism, Catholicism and Labourism (1900-22)
Focused on the London Irish, this article discusses the diasporic dilemmas of Irish Catholics in England who oscillated between four claims to loyalty in the early twentieth century. Liberals and later the labour movement sought to mobilise them for radical political and socialist goals; the Catholic Church to support religious education against secularist threats; a homeland nationalism to advance the prospects of Irish parliamentary autonomy; a…
Warfare and the Sacralisation of Nations: The Meanings, Rituals and Politics of National Remembrance
Although the nation is supposedly a secular modern community, characterised by linear chronological time, I argue that warfare contributes to the creation of the nation as a sacred community of sacrifice in three respects. Firstly, it can act as a mythomoteur in the historical consciousness of populations so that it becomes a reference point or framework for explaining and evaluating events. Secondly, in the modern era it generates a cult of the …
Sport, Education and Philanthropy in Nineteenth-century Edinburgh: The Emergence of Modern Forms of Football
This paper looks at the way in which an ethos of the importance of sport developed in some of Edinburgh's schools in the early part of the nineteenth century; how football was deliberately encouraged by a group of city schoolmasters to develop manly virtues and a competitive spirit; and how one pioneering city philanthropist set up perhaps the first football club in the world, then passed on his enthusiastic love of the game to some of the poores…

Nations as Zones of Conflict
What is the relationship between nations and conflict? Is globalisation really eroding national sovereignty and cultural unity? This book explores such questions, arguing that it is wrong to assume that nations are culturally uniform
Ethnicity and modern nations
This article presents a view of nations as dynamic, long term historical collectivities that structure the forms of modernity. It rejects dominant modernist models of nation-formation because they tend to conflate nation with nation-state, to regard nations as homogeneous societies, and to depict nation-formation in linear terms as an outgrowth of modernization. Nationformation in the modern world has an episodic character. By examining the ethni…

Cultural Nationalism, Elite Mobility and Nation-Building: Communitarian Politics in Modern Ireland
The purpose of this article is to show that, although generally ignored by scholars, cultural nationalism has been a significant ideological force that, promoting a distinctive communitarian vision of the nation, has regularly been adopted by a rising intelligentsia as a political option against the state. Taking Ireland as my case study, I first examine the three major cultural nationalist 'revivals' in order to delineate the distinctive charact…
Myth against myth: The Nation as Ethnic Overlay
Nationalism is a secular modern ideology that has been accompanied by revolutions and it has legitimised the rise to power of new social classes. For this reason many theorists have regarded nationalists as inventors of tradition and their claims to continuities with the past as either self‐delusion or a form of deceit. Yet in many cases premodern ethnic identities have powerfully shaped the programmes and policies of many nation‐states.How can n…

Archaeology and the Irish rediscovery of the Celtic past
This article examines the place of archaeology in the second wave of Irish cultural nationalism, and how archaeological findings were appropriated by rival ethno‐religious communities in Ireland. In particular, it focuses on George Petrie, who was the founder of ‘scientific’ archaeology and was also one of the leading figures in the nineteenth‐century Celtic revival that sought a moral regeneration of the Irish nation In Ireland, as elsewhere, ar…

The Artist as Nation‐Builder: William Butler Yeats and Chaim Nachman Bialik
The poets William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) and Chaim Nachman Bialik (1873–1934) were among the builders of their respective Irish and Jewish national cultures. Their lives and careers were in limited ways remarkably alike and throw light on the dynamics of cultural nationalism. Each emerged in an historical watershed, leading to the establishment of an Irish state in 1921 and a Jewish state in 1948. Though their circumstances, styles, receptions …
Disasters and the International Order: Earthquakes, Humanitarians, and the Ciraolo Project
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), based in Geneva, advertised recently for a Director of Disaster Preparedness, a term used in the late twentieth century by most international organizations. In this case, the successful applicant, required to possess 'field experience in Disaster Preparedness', was expected to 'design the strategy for Disaster Preparedness' that would enable the IFRC 'to respond to, and effe…

The Biology and Evolution of HIV
This review examines the current state of knowledge about HIV/AIDS in terms of its origins, pathogenesis, genetic variation, and evolutionary biology. The HIV virus damages the host's immune system, resulting in AIDS, which is characterized by immunodeficiency, opportunistic infections, neoplasms, and neurological problems. HIV is a complex retrovirus with a high mutation rate. This mutation rate allows the virus to evade host immune responses, a…

Association between stress and blood pressure variation in a Caribbean population
Based on the work of Selye (The Stress of Life, New York: McGraw‐Hill, 1976) it is hypothesized that stress can produce physiological abnormalities, i.e., elevated blood pressure, and that social variables can be used as indicators or risk factors for disease. It is theorized that deviations from acceptable social patterns or traditional life‐styles can produce stressful conditions that are associated with disease and that these situations can be…

Family resemblance for anthropometric and blood pressure measurements in black Caribs and Creoles from St. Vincent Island
This paper examines family resemblance for five anthropometric measurements (height, weight, triceps skinfold, upper arm circumference relaxed [UACR] and flexed [UACF] and for systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a group of adult Caribbean islanders of primarily African ancestry. Six hypotheses about family resemblance are tested by using path analysis and likelihood ratios. Significant intergenerational transmission is found only for height …
The age–sex structure of the slave population in Harris County, Texas: 1850 And 1860
The effect of the slave system on demography can be revealed by examining the age–sex structure of slave populations. The age–sex structure of slaves in Harris County, Texas is investigated using the 1850 and 1860 slave schedules. Median ages for black and mulatto slaves suggest that the population was young. Population pyramids exhibit a narrow base and top with a broad middle. The high proportion of slaves between 10 and 30 years of age and the…
