  Nationalism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
The term “nationalism” is generally used to describe two phenomena: (1) the attitude that the members of a nation have when they care about their national identity and (2) the actions that the members of a nation take when seeking to achieve (or sustain) self-determination.
Nations and national identity may be defined in terms of common origin, ethnicity, or cultural ties, and while an individual's membership in the nation is often regarded as involuntary, it is sometimes regarded as voluntary.
Nationalism in a wider sense is any complex of attitudes, claims and directives for action ascribing a fundamental political, moral and cultural value to nation and nationality and deriving special obligations and permissions (for individual members of the nation and for any involved third parties, individual or collective) from this ascribed value.

 Nation, Nation State, Nationalism and National Cultural Integration
Part of the process of national development is the activity of the state in promoting a sense of homogeneity within its boundaries; a willingness among its citizens to live together in harmony under the authority of a government.
Nationalism gives a sense of identity to individuals, but unlike national cultural integration, it tends to emphasize unique characteristics of a group.
While nationalism and national cultural integration are dependent upon some of the same factors to promote group identity and group loyalty, the ends and the means are different.

 Murray Bookchin - Nationalism and the "National Question"
Nationalism as a form of tribalism writ large reinforces the state by providing it with the loyalty of a people of shared linguistic, ethnic, and cultural affinities, indeed legitimizing the state by giving it a basis of seemingly all-embracing biological and traditional commonalities among the people.
The "nation" as a cultural entity is superseded by an overpowering and oppressive state apparatus.
Nationalisms that only a generation ago might have been regarded as "national liberation" struggles are more clearly seen today, in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet empire, as little more than social nightmares and decivilizing blights.

 Politics and Philosophy of Death Production in the Balkans, Tatjana Jovanovic - Alexandria Press
The most tragic result of that spiritual, territorial, institutional and cultural nationalism is the degradation of value of human life, with the justification that every death is a collateral damage, compared to the ideal of »the Holy Territory«.
With this "right", nationalism has become a causa efficiens (efficient cause) of the disintegration of the region that, at one time, was rich in diversity, an obituary to the lives it had ended, coming to a finish with the hypocritical analysis of foreign, international culpability.
The period of culmination of nationalism in a society is the period of the greatest falsity of the mother tongue.

 A Curse Over The Balkans? – Nationalism and War in ex-Yugoslavia
The “nation” and therefore nationalism are historical categories and products of the bourgeois revolutions and the creation of nation states.
Nationality returned to the scene as a political factor and the bureaucracy was forced to apply more ruthless measures to stifle disobedience.
Nationalism was a perfect weapon for its destruction and for burying all the achievements of the Partisan movement.

English Canadian nationalism in the modern period might be said to have had its heyday between the publication of the Royal Commission on Canada's Economic Prospects in 1956 and the disbanding of the Committee for an Independent Canada in 1981.
In the absence of linguistic or cultural unity to bind the country together, governments and citizens alike have historically turned their gaze northward and have seen in the Canadian geography and climate, and in the hardships they produced, a distinctive identity - a nationalism rooted in the famed 'idea of North'.
Contemporary aboriginal nationalism had its roots in a new generation of well-educated aboriginal leaders seeking the survival and equality of the aboriginal peoples facing the assimilation forces of an increasingly homogenizing and hostile mainstream society that surrounded yet continued to marginalize them.

 The Nationalism Project: Books by Author C-D
Central to Conversi’s argument was the role of a Castilian state centralist nationalism as the ideological focus point of protest action amongst various peripheral movements from the 19th to the 20th centuries that may have under different circumstances developed into purely labour, Marxist or other social movements.
According to Corse, contemporary prize-winning literature (which is an important component of the field of restricted cultural production) differentiates itself not against other nations’ contemporary prize-winning literature, but rather against popular literature (which, because it is produced for consumption by the widest possible audience, does not deal in any substantial way with national difference).
The curious conclusion that one draws from this analysis is that although contemporary prize-winning novels are viewed as national canonical-literature-in-the-making, they are not important to the discourse of nationalism until their canonization.

 MELUS: Transnationalizing Aztlan: Rudolfo Anaya's Heart of Aztlan and US proletarian literature - Critical Essay
As a movement based on an ideology of cultural nationalism, the Chicano Movement adopted the neoindigenist aesthetics prevalent in Latin America in the twenties and thirties by appropriating the Aztec myth of Aztlan as the unifying symbol of political struggle for Chicano identity and rights.
What distinguished Chavez from other leaders and elevated him to the national status of a hero and a saint is that he restored the dignity of the farm workers of la raza and reaffirmed their worth as human beings.
Anaya departs from the tendency of the cultural nationalists to romanticize the race, opting instead to expose the internal heterogeneity of the community and the people's shifting positionality at the intersection of ethnicity, gender, and class as exploiters and exploited.

 Selling China: WWW.CNTA.COM and Cultural Nationalism a review essay for the Journal for MuliMedia History
Recent conflicts in the Balkans have drawn issues of nationalism and cultural identity into sharp focus in Central Europe, but most of what we read and see is filtered through the lens of our own news media.
Nationalism is defined in terms of an "other," but the "other" may determine which "self" is summoned as well.
In the former, the internal audience is a captive one, and national identity is informed by an erasure of difference; in the latter, the external audience is sought out, and national identity is informed by articulation of difference.

 ISR issue 14 | Marxism and Nationalism, Part 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
While recognizing that the nationalities issue was a crucial one for socialists, Luxemburg asserted that all talk of the right of nations to self-determination had become pure utopianism in the modern era.
In The National Question and Autonomy (1909), Luxemburg based her objections to Lenin on her perception that "the actual possibility of 'self-determination' for all ethnic groups or otherwise defined nationalities is a utopia precisely because of the trend of historical development of contemporary societies."
Because imperialism actually tightened the grip of the stronger nations on the weaker ones, Lenin argued that struggles for national liberation could be expected to play an even greater role in the imperialist epoch than in the past.
