Religion and nationalism are both powerful and important markers of individual identity, but the relationship between the two has been a source of considerable debate. Much, if not most, of the early work done in Nationalism Studies has been based, at least implicitly, on the idea that religion, as a genealogical carrier of identity, was displaced with the advent of secular modernity, which was caused by nationalism. Or, to put it another way, national identity, and its ideological manifestation nationalism, filled the void left in people''s self-identification as religion retreated in the face of modernity. Since at least the late 1990s, this view has been increasingly challenged by scholars trying to account for the apparent persistence of religious identities. Perhaps even more interestingly, scholars of both religion and nationalism have noted that these two kinds of self-identification, while sometimes being tense, as the earlier models explained, are also frequently coexistent or even mutually supportive. This collection of essays explores the current thinking about the relationship between religion and nationalism from a variety of perspectives, using a number of different case studies. What all these approaches have in common is their interest in complicating our understandings of nationalism as a primarily secular phenomenon by bringing religion back into the discussion.

Praise the artist for describingthe indescribable. Pity him for havingto.Shattered is an existential x-rayto the mechanics of reincarnation & spiritualism. It's a personal journey through the interactions of therelationships that we each have, with each other; & with ourselves. Through a lifetime, numerous threads, sewntogether become the fabric of who we each are; & along the 24 years of thisnovel, the connections of each of the characters within, build a composite ofthe patchwork quilt, of the all of creation. Even the most individualized experiences of a person's life, foreign tothose who don't live them, become universalized in the way that we, asemotional beings, interpret them. Shattered is, that common thread.

The invention of the Groff changed everything. It propelled people out-of-body and into the shallows of subtle-space, to skim, or ghost, intimately alongside the physical world. As the twenty-first century staggered towards its conclusion everyone was travelling out-of-body, for work or pleasure, legal and illegal. But with new freedoms and opportunities came new forms of power, crime, vulnerability and madness. Now, an immensely powerful SuperGroff could punch minds far deeper. The Argentinian Collective's leading scientist, Vicente, has disappeared during a mission into deepest subtle-space. Vicente's partner Tasha, a renowned psychotherapist, believes it is madness to enter such regions and that out-of-body galactic travel is impossible, merely a dangerous illusion. As the search for Vicente erupts into full-scale conflicts both in subtle-space and South America, casualties mount, deepest beliefs are challenged and relationships transformed.

The "race" question has been raging all over the world since the early days of the human, but nowhere else has the debate taken dramatic proportions as in South Africa in the 20th century.

How could the issue be resolved? A certain Peter Nielsen in his manuscript "The Black Man Place in South Africa" gives a fascinating answer_a century ago. A treatise on the so-called "Native Question" of the times, this forgotten manuscript makes fascinating reading for anyone.
