摘要本文考察了相互竞争的民族主义项目，这些项目竞相构成伯利兹国家：多元民族主义将国家构建为种族多元化；合成民族主义试图将种族或种族差异淹没在共同的国家认同中；霸权民族主义致力于优先给予国家单一的种族认同，并排除其他身份。在这些项目中，构成国家同质性的同质化进程与构成国家以下差异的个体化进程紧密相关：国家同质性和国家以下差异都是根据种族、族裔或两者的结合构成的。本文探讨了种族、民族和国家身份的本质化是如何促进它们彼此同化的。
Abstract This article examines competing nationalist projects which compete to constitute a Belizean nation: pluralist nationalism constructs the nation as ethnically diverse; synthetic nationalism attempts to submerge ethnic or racial difference into a shared national identity; hegemonic nationalism works to attach preferentially a single racial identity to the nation and exclude other identities. Within these projects, the homogenizing processes which construct national sameness are integrally related to the individualizing processes which constitute subnational difference: both national sameness and subnational differences are constituted in terms of race, ethnicity, or a conflation of the two. The article explores how the essentialization of racial, ethnic and national identities facilitates their assimilation of one another.
