Uprooting Nationalism

postedby gknot on October21st,2005 tagged language, politics, society

Part of the project of overturning nationalism should involve moving away from ‘national histories’ told from the point of view of a single nation-state protagonist. Going from “this had nothing to do with us,” to “this was a tremendous tragedy for us” takes an important step: it broadens the meaning of us.

Brilliant.
