“…Tracing nineteenth and early twentieth-century discourses of Mennonite colonies in Imperial Russia, Canada, and elsewhere as a "state within a state," the essay advocates a reevaluation of theories of modern statehood advanced by thinkers like James C. Scott and Ernest Gellner. As conservative, pacifist Mennonites traveled from North America to the Paraguayan Chaco to escape the pressures of assimilation in democratic society, their migration paved the way for coreligionists fleeing persecution in the Soviet Union to join in the formation of a rural, autonomous "Mennonite state" that was organized internationally, characterized by deep religious observance, and conceived in opposition to high modernist projects.…”

Nación y Nacionalismo en el debate teórico e historiográfico de finales del siglo XX NATION AND NATIONALISM IN THE THEORY AND HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY FINAL YEARS by Reinaldo Rojas

“…Partiendo de los antecedentes ideológicos del siglo XIX y del debate marxista de las primeras décadas del siglo XX, se analizan los planteamiento expuestos en diversas obras por historiadores como Eric Hobsbawm, Pierre Vilar, Benedit Anderson, Ernest Gellner, Pierre Fougeyrollas y Etienne Balibar, para culminar con una aproximación al hecho nacional en América Latina y el Caribe, visto como problema histórico social, político y cultural, proponiendo la apertura de un debate historiográfico que sobre la realidad de la construcción de identidades regionales pueda dar paso a la construcción permanente de una idea de nación para nuestro continente.…”
