Document Summary
The state should imagine itself ethnically homogenous communication. The nationalists believes that boundaries of the state should be co- terminus with the ethnic groups. Political stability = shared values, common values, kinship. Kinship= stability because the more biologically connected the more stable a state is going to be. The state is the collection of the kin groups: the origins of the state can be traced back all the way to one person (can connect to suppliant maidens) The modern ethnic nationalism is largely about race: racism (a term only really used in the nazi regime) Ethnic differences are overrode and proposes to establish a nature of order and hierarchy among races. Racist believes it"s biologically inherited and cannot change (aristotle is an example) Monogenesis: human kind descends from one single origin. Polygenesis: human races descend from multiple origins: both try to explain racial differences. Climate determinism: is different, they are determined by the influence of climate.
