ASC Seminar: Place, Patria, and Citizenship: National service in Rhodesia 1970-80
Donderdag 03 April 2014, 15:30
Luise White, University of Florida. Two issues that should speak to each other more than they commonly do will be brought together in this seminar. The first is the idea of patriotism and Basil Davidson’s critique that new nations do not inspire great loyalty or a sense of patriotism. Rhodesia was founded in 1890 and most of its white population only arrived after World War II. So why would citizens fight a grueling 14-year guerrilla war for its sake? The question is complicated by the respective rights and obligations of citizenship and residency. Please register.
