Can someone suggest literature about the relationship between urban poor and nationalism relationship?
In the current condition of urban life-style, there is not much of opportunity and time to comparative critical thinking, to have checks & balances in one's belifes or opinion, except what media offers them; working long shifts in more than one job, does not leave much of room to learn or experience other cultures and states, except being satisfied to the basics of daily living, among the same group of people.

Hello,
If you mean nationalism as skinhead groups or apolitical way there is the Dick Hebdige book on subculture with explain links between poverty and skinhead subculture, or Michel Wieviorka book "la France raciste" but I don't know if there is an english translation . If you mean a link between culture nationalism and poverty P. Bourgois "In search of respect" It is about East Harlem puerto rican poverty and USA minority discrimination, F. Barth on Ethnicity concept

It is ironic that though capital cities are epitomes of nationalism, or represents all that is nationalistic in a nation, the level of spatial inequality and welfare gap between the rich and the poor seems to be augmented in these places. Capital cities have a tendency of showcasing and bringing to the fore both the best and the worst in countries.
