Abstract:
|
This paper argues that the United States possessed a dominant ethnic group or 'core ethnie' (Smith 1986; 1991) like most European and Asian nations. This ethnie was intimately linked to the nation's identity. This WASP (or Anglo-Protestant) ethnic group went into decline largely because it failed to continue processes of Anglo-conformity and immigration restriction which were integral to the maintenance of its hegemony. Reform originated largely within the WASP community among religious and secular liberals in the first half of the 20th c., which facilitated external challenges from subaltern groups. |

| The Decline of the WASP?: Anglo-Protestant Ethnicity and the American Nation-State The question which this seminar raises concerns the link between the American nation-state and its often hazily-defined dominant ethnic group. Anthony Smith argues that nations tend to be formed on the basis of a pre-modern ethnic 'core' which provides the myths symbols and memories for the modern nation. (Smith 1986) Thus the French flag anthem 'hexagonal' sense of territory and many historical myths and memories were based on |
