Topic: Nationalism and resistance in Algeria



  
 Nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nationalism is an ideology which holds that the nation, ethnicity or national identity is a fundamental unit of human social life, and makes certain political claims based on that belief, above all the claim that the nation is the only legitimate basis for the state and that each nation is entitled to its own state.
The term 'nationalism' is also used by extension, or as a metaphor, to describe movements which promote a group identity of some kind.
In this form nationalism is a universal ideology, but the term also refers to the specific ideology of nationalist movements, which make political claims on behalf of a specific nation.
