Bennett Eason Cross

Long-Distance Nationalism in the Global City

A Cultural History of the Malian Diaspora in Lagos

• Gebundenes Buch

The author uses the Malian diaspora in Lagos, Nigeria to examine the persistence of nationalism in an age of globalization. In this case study, the bilateral struggle for loyalty between origin and host societies is complicated by a common faith and the presence of a transnational movement of reformist Islam.
