Long-Distance Nationalism in the Global City: A Cultural History of the Malian Diaspora in Lagos

by Bennett Eason Cross

The author uses the Malian diaspora in Lagos, Nigeria to examine the persistence of nationalism in an age of globalization. In this case study, the bilateral struggle for loyalty between origin and host societies is complicated by a common faith and the presence of a transnational movement of reformist Islam.
