{"product_id":"modern-peoplehood-john-lie-9780674013278","title":"Modern Peoplehood","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn modern states, John Lie argues, ideas of race, ethnicity, and nationality can be subsumed under the rubric of \"peoplehood.\" He argues indeed, that the modern state has created the idea of peoplehood. That is, the seemingly primitive, atavistic feelings of belonging associated with ethnic, racial, and national identity are largely formed by the state. Not only is the state responsible for the development and nurturing of these feelings, it is also responsible for racial and ethnic conflict, even genocide. When citizens think of themselves in terms of their peoplehood identity, they will naturally locate the cause of all troubles--from neighborhood squabbles to wars--in racial, ethnic, or national attitudes and conflicts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFar from being transhistorical and transcultural phenomena, race, ethnicity, and nation, Lie argues, are modern notions--modernity here associated with the rise of the modern state, the industrial economy, and Enlightenment ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Lie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674013271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674013278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.64h x 6.50w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/25\/2005 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2005 pg. 90","brand":"John Lie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086754656511,"sku":"9780674013278","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df0fb90f-3571-4e72-8df8-a97ee00eea8c.jpg?v=1769096386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-peoplehood-john-lie-9780674013278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
