Exile was central to state and nation formation, playing a role in the emergence of territorial borders and Romantic notions of national difference, while creating a transnational political culture that spanned the new independent nations. Analyzing the mobility of a large cohort of largely elite political émigrés from Chile and the Río de la Plata across much of South America before 1862, Edward Blumenthal reinterprets the political thought of well-known figures in a transnational context of exile. As Blumenthal shows, exile was part of a reflexive process in which elites imagined the nation from abroad while gaining experience building the same state and civil society institutions they considered integral to their republican nation-building projects.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmAuthor: Edward BlumenthalGenre: HistoryTopic: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Palgrave Macmillan Transnational History SeriesRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
