Compilation of interdisciplinary scholarly perspectives.
State-of-the-art research on current debates in creolization, ethnicity, and nation-building discourses.
New Perspectives beyond a primarily historical focus on creolization and creole identity and nation-building “from below” in Guinea-Bissau.
"Fresh" research results.
Despite high degrees of cultural and ethnic diversity as well as prevailing political instability, Guinea-Bissau’s population has developed a strong sense of national belonging. By examining both contemporary and historical perspectives, A Creole Nation explores how creole identity, culture, and political leaders have influenced postcolonial nation-building processes in Guinea-Bissau, and the ways in which the phenomenon of cultural creolization results in the emergence of new identities.
