Title
STRUGGLES FOR RECOGNITION AND THE POWER OF THE 'REALLY MADE UP'.
Authors
Hamblet, Wendy
Abstract
The nineteenth century has been called the century of nation-building. Is it mere coincidence that the century following on its heels was the century of genocide? This paper traces the identity politics of genocide to its conceptual roots in the notions of race and nation, and exposes the biological and historical meaninglessness of those terms, while conceding the enduring power of these 'really made up' social constructions.
