How did urban and rural colonised people respond, remodel, and reconstruct nationalist thought? Was nationalism an elitist, or populist phenomenon? This week will explore how everyday resistance of labourers, members of the peasantry, women, and minorities evolved to drive forward nationalist resistance.

Seminar Questions:

1) How was nationalist rhetoric applied and 'given meaning' by wider colonial populations?

2) How did visions of independence differ between nations, groups, and individuals?

3) What does a subaltern history of nationalism look like?
