About this product

Product Information

With the dissolution of Cold War tensions, as new states take shape around the world and as nationalist and ethnic conflicts come to characterize the international order, questions of national identity have become pivotal for peacekeepers, policymakers, and scholars. In National Collective Identity, Rodney Hall illustrates how centuries-old dynastic traditions have been replaced in the modern era by nationalist and ethnic identity movements.This book delineates three epochal changes in the international system: from the medieval, feudal-theocratic order to the dynastic-sovereign system in the sixteenth century, the territorial sovereign system in the seventeenth century, and finally, after the American and French Revolutions, the national sovereign system. In rich historical detail, this book reexamines a broad spectrum of international conflicts--including the Seven Years War, the Napoleonic wars, the Franco-Prussian War, the First World War, and the Cold War and its aftermath--in terms of the shifting sands of state identities through time.Arguing for the need to make a clear distinction between nation and state--one that has largely been overlooked in recent international relations studies on nationalism--Hall shows how an understanding of this dichotomy can help forecast the development of new states over time. National Collective Identity ascribes transformative power to social actors rather than viewing them as merely conditioned by the self-perpetuating logic of the state. In so doing, Hall presents a new theoretical model that accounts for human agency as an integral component of national systems.

Hall's work provides an important link between international-relations theory and nationalism scholarship., Title: Book takes a historical look at Huntsville Author: Matthew Jackson Publisher: The Huntsville Item Date: 5/2/09 Jeff Littlejohn might be the last person you’d expected to compile a book on Huntsville’s history. The Dallas native spent his teenage years in Nashville, earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Belmont University in Tennessee and his master’s degree in history from the University of Arkansas. Littlejohn even admits never having been to Huntsville before he took a job as an assistant professor of history at Sam Houston State University in 2005. But after three years dwelling in the home of Sam Houston, he couldn’t help but get drawn in by the history. Last year, Littlejohn partnered with the Walker County Historical Commission and began to research a book of photographs chronicling the story of Huntsville from its establishment to the mid-20th century. The result is Huntsville,” the latest installment in Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America” series. The book will hit stores May 4. Littlejohn conceived the book as a way to tie Huntsville’s history to his teaching in a more direct way. I teach U.S. history, and I try to relate it to local stories as much as possible, because that’s what the students seem interested in,” Littlejohn said. It was difficult to find a book on Huntsville that was for a sale at a bookstore.” Intrigued by the stories he had already learned about early Huntsville, Littlejohn began working with the Historical Commission, researching photographs using a variety of sources. In the end, he compiled 240 images into the 128 pages of Huntsville, following a thematic organization that separately addresses Huntsville’s founding families, schools, churches and other major elements. It’s a thematic book, so the first chapter I called ‘Founding Families,’ and it covered from Pleasant Gray in the 1830s to the yellow fever epidemic of 1867,” Littlejohn said. The last chapter is called ‘National Connections,’ and it really tries to place Huntsville in a national context.” Among the images in Huntsville” are portraits of Sam Houston, images of the original Huntsville land grant, a drawing of Huntsville from the 1840s, and Pleasant Gray’s signature on a deed selling Huntsville’s town square to the city for a dollar. There are also the darker elements of Huntsville’s history, including slave advertisements printed by The Huntsville Item in the 1860s, and images from the civil rights movement 100 years later. I think the chapter I enjoyed doing the most was the one on schools, because desegregation of schools is my research interest, so it was interesting to tell the story of schools in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,” Littlejohn said. With the book prepared for release, Littlejohn is now working to expand the photo project into a digital medium. We’re seeking a Humanities Texas grant for a piece called ‘Democracy and Diversity in Walker County,’” Littlejohn said. It’s going to be a digital project that explores the topic in great detail with six of my colleagues in the history department. So if anything, the book was a starting point.” After nine months of research and compilation, Littlejohn feels he has achieved something with Huntsville,” establishing a clearer picture of Huntsville’s history, and shedding light on the city’s diversity. My hope was that it would present a more unified portrait of Huntsville, in the sense that many of the books that have come out in the past are either dominated by the great white heroes of the past or the great black heroes of the past,” Littlejohn said. I tried to do something that incorporated as much as I could the variety of the people who lived in Huntsville.” <br, "A major constructivist statement....an essential read for IR theorists." -- Chris Brown, London School of Economics, Ethnic and Racial Studies, "Hall's work provides an important link between international-relations theory and nationalism scholarship." -- Nationalism and Ethnic Politics
