The Reading:

1) "Liberal nationalism - An irresponsible compound?" (Ch. 6) by Andrew Vincent, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader

2) "Really existing nationalisms - A Post-communist view from Marx and Engels" (Ch. 7) by Erica Benner, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader

3) "Masculinity and nationalism - Gender and Sexuality in the making of nations" (Ch. 8) by Joane Nagel, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader

Consider the following questions when writing your journal entry. You do not need to answer all the questions, but you should address at least one of the questions. Aim for more than a summary and use your write-up to show your understanding of the readings. Where possible, deepen your discussion by adding comparisons, addressing points of agreement or disagreement, or adding critiques (refer to comments given on previous assignments). Your answer should be in paragraph form with proofread, clear prose, 450 words.

The readings include topics like liberal and Marxist ideologies, which are often thought to be in competition with each other, as well as gender and nationalism (specifically masculinity).

1. Compare and/or contrast the arguments presented by Vincent and Benner.

2. Consider the ideas of liberal nationalism vs. Marxist nationalism. How are these similar and/or different?

3. What role does gender play in the 'making of nations'? Explain.

4. How are the readings from this week (or at least one of the readings) similar to or different from the readings?
