Entry: Ethnonationalism and its Discontents (Part I) Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ethnonationalism_and_its_discontents_part_i#18786 Post contents: Mr. Larison:: Please consider Ferdinand & Isabella & Salamanca as being most responsible for modern-day nationalism(with much help from Bodin, Macheavelli & Montagne)...the forced consolidation of dialects into Castillan as being most indicative(led by a Marrano, by the way)....the Crusades, Marco Polo, the Pope at Avignon, the Plague, Henry the Navigator, the fall of Byzantines, and the expulsion of the Moors were a little too volcanic(de-racinating) for that humble little basin...we affectionatly call the "Mediterranean". Thus, christianity, along with everything else...didn't stand a chance....predictably, the Anglo-Dutch Moment was securely right around the corner....In addition, please entertain Nation//Empire as nothing more than the "necessity" to secure "credit"...by preventing the "repudiation" of debt...
