Nationalities Papers
  • ISSN: 0090-5992 (Print), 1465-3923 (Online)
  • Frequency: 6 issues per year
Nationalities Papers is the place to turn for cutting edge multidisciplinary work on nationalism, migration, diasporas, and ethnic conflict. We publish high-quality peer-reviewed articles from historians, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, and scholars from other fields. Our traditional geographical emphasis has been on Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia, but we now publish research from around the globe. As the journal of the Association for the Study of Nationalities (ASN), our mission is to bring together scholars worldwide working on nationalism and ethnicity and to feature the best theoretical, empirical, and analytical work in the field. We strongly encourage submissions from women, members of minority and underrepresented groups, and people with disabilities.

    Photo Taken by Hélène Thibault: The photo shows the yet-to-be-unveiled statue of Ismoil Somoni meant to replace a 24-meter high Lenin statue in Khujand, Tajikistan. Called Leninabad in Soviet times, this northern city is the country’s second largest. When I first visited Khujand for my fieldwork in 2010, a gigantic statue of Lenin was still standing on this square. When I came back a year later in 2011, Lenin was relocated to Victory Park, on the outskirts of the city, and a new square with fountains was being built where Lenin was once standing. The statue of Ismoil Somoni, considered to be the founder of the first Tajik state, was unveiled a few days after this photo was taken. The veil confers a mysterious, phantomatic look to the imposing character. More than anything, this change in the urban landscape tells a story about the reevaluation of the city’s historical symbolism and a move towards asserting a distinct national identity separate from its Soviet past. Khujand, Tajikistan, 2011.
