In the context of cultural diversity, when does the feeling of alienation arise? |
|
Answer» Community identities can act as the basis for nation-formation; hence, already existing states see all forms of community identity as dangerous rivals. That is why states generally tend to favour a single, homogenous national identity, in the hope of being able to control and manage it. However, suppressing cultural diversity can be very costly in terms of the alienation of the minority or subordinated communities whose culture is treated as ‘nonnational’. |
