Het commercieel nationalisme is voor de Nederlandse casus nog niet of nauwelijks onderzocht. Onderzoek naar nationalisme is, zeker in zijn alledaagse vorm, in stedelijke context gering belicht. Dit is echter interessant, omdat juist het commercieel nationalisme de dagelijkse praktijk van het Nederlands nationalisme weergeeft. Het onderzoek naar commercieel nationalisme schetst bovendien een duidelijk beeld van de praktische ontwikkeling van een moeizaam en onsuccesvol nationalisme (vóór 1870) tot een integraal en succesvol nationalisme. Dit onderzoek focust daarom op de vraag hoe het commercieel nationalisme bijdroeg aan de constructie van de nationale identiteit in de periode 1874 – 1913.Show less

I will make two main claims in the present thesis. First of all, that American nationalism helped to motivate Southern Baptists to support Jimmy Carter, despite suspicions regarding Carter’s religiosity. To be specific, the Baptists voted for Carter because of their desire to defend the United States of America as a Christian nation and not simply due to Carter’s public confession of faith as a ‘born-again’ Christian. Second, nationalist words and stories can be found in Carter’s rhetoric. His inclusion of this nationalistic content was intended to maintain support for Jimmy Carter among American evangelicals. Meanwhile, publications of the Southern Baptists such as the Southern Baptist News Press disseminated nationalistic expressions and connected them to support for Jimmy Carter. In other words, this thesis will provide an alternative answer by arguing that the election of Jimmy Carter was possible thanks to American nationalism, which was permeated with religion.Show less
