Abstract :
The celebration of nation nessless by theorists and advocates of globalization jettisons the foundational rolesof nation, nationalism, ethnicism, identity and by assumption reduces the efficacy of the project of Postcolonialism. As the sovereignty of the subjective state is the raison d’être of Post colonialism, the agency of the nation cannot be undermined by the rhetoric of ‘shadow lines’, ‘global world’,‘shrinking globe’, ‘spatio-temporal conflation’ and the like. The project of nationalism cannot be obfuscated under the rubric of globalization as evidently one of the principal dangers confronting the modern state is the resurgence of nationalism in different parts of the world (Chatterjee 1993:3); we cannot remain mute to the discordant cries of nationalism emanating from the countries of the Middle East, South East and Africa.
