Abstract

This dissertation has attempted to shed light on the character of anti-colonial nationalism. It particularly sought to elucidate why anti-colonial nationalisms, once the enemy is defeated, often fail to provide a sufficient basis for national identification. Why, the initial question posed, are nation-building projects necessary in states whose people have fought nationalist struggles for decades and should therefore be characterised by a high degree of social cohesion on a national level?
