The
Historical Society’s 2008 Conference
MIGRATION,
DIASPORA, ETHNICITY, AND NATIONALISM
IN HISTORY
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
MD June 5-8, 2008
The
relentless thrust of globalization and the unexpected termination of
the
Cold War have increased rather
than reduced global tensions. These developments force us to reconsider
some themes once thought to be exhausted. Migrations, the formation of
Diaspora communities, and the resurgence of ethnicities, both old and
new,
have transformed nationalisms and conventional conceptions of the
nation-state.
The 2008 conference will consider the above themes. Preliminary Program
