Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to capture the global dynamics of the intersection between the process of racialization, social class and the political evocation of nationalist ideas and practices—in their broadest sense. The goal of this Special Issue is to publish cutting-edge work on how race, nation and class articulate, across the world, in the third decade of the twenty-first century. We therefore invite essays from scholars of social science and humanities disciplines on this topic. These pieces will engage critically with the literature on nationalism by focusing on its internal tensions, around race and class, and analyze how states and/or citizens produce versions of the politics of nation deriving from such tensions. This is an attempt to add nuance to theories of the nation, underscore the articulation of the state and social movements’ roles in developing racialized and classed versions of the nation and to set studies drawn from different parts of the world in dialog with one another.
