Language and national identity

"This study has examined the attempts at resolving the question of a literary language among Rusyns south of the Carpathians, with an emphasis on those living in the Preŝov Region of northeastern Slovakia. The aim has been to analyze how the language question evolved in the past and how language issues are being dealt with at the present, especially since 1989"--Page 146.

The idea of a Southern nation

John McCardell. --

"As the nineteenth century began, the United States was a country in search of definition, of national character. Like other Americans, Southerners found the process of national self-definition urgent and exhilarating. But a series of shocks -- social, economic, intellectual, and finally, political -- gave an increasingly distinctive twist to the ideology of nationalism that developed in the South. By 1860, though agreeing with the North over constitutional fundamentals and sharing with other Americans similar hopes and fears, many Southerners had concluded that only in a separate Southern nation could their rights and security be preserved. This book is a study of how and why the ideology of Southern nationalism arose and spread."--Book cover.
