Abstract

Abstract This article bridges the literatures on nationalist projects and everyday nationhood by elucidating a repertoire of actions shared by both. Analysis of such "nation-worka" contributes to the cognitive turn in ethnicity and nationalism research by showing how ethnonational categorization operates. Examining variation in this domain shows that though nationalism may project an image of a homogeneous "wea", internal heterogeneity is crucial for refining the experience and performance of membership in the nation.
