e/Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations

Information
has gloss	eng: Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations: Ethnic and National Groups Around the World is a four volume set of books by James Minahan. The 2002 book follows and expands upon his 1996 Nations without States. In the volumes, Minahan chronicles 350 national groups that are not recognized as independent states. He presents a defined criterion for a stateless nation: #“Self-identity as a distinctive group,” #“the display of the outward trappings of national consciousness (particularly the adoption of a flag),” #“the formation of a specifically nationalist organization or political grouping that reflects its claim to self-determination.” Although some of the nations promote full independence, "majority of the world's national movements normally mobilize in favor of greater autonomy." A nationality does not always equal citizenship.
