After the Second World War, national self-determination became a recognized international norm, yet it only extended to former colonies. Groups within postcolonial states that made alternative sovereign claims were disregarded or actively suppressed. Showcasing their contested histories, Lydia Walker offers a powerful counternarrative of global decolonization, highlighting little-known regions, marginalized individuals, and their hidden (or lost) archives. She depicts the personal connections that linked disparate nationalist struggles across the globe through advocacy networks, demonstrating that these advocates had their own agendas and allegiances, which, she argues, could undermine the autonomy of the claimants they supported. By foregrounding particular nationalist movements in South Asia and Southern Africa and their transnational advocacy networks, States-in-Waiting illuminates the un-endings of decolonization-the unfinished and improvised ways that the state-centric international system replaced empire, which left certain claims of sovereignty perpetually awaiting recognition. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book explores the relationship between sanctity and crisis in the medieval and early modern periods in a European context, revealing the multifaceted roles of holy figures in times of personal, collective, environmental, political, and socio-cultural upheaval.It offers a nuanced understanding of the dynamic relationship between hagiography and crisis. Chapters reconsider the historical meanings of "crisis" in pre-modern contexts, analyze diverse hagiographic textual forms across genres, and demonstrate how venerated individuals were central to navigating moments of instability. The interdisciplinary approach combines literary analysis, historical inquiry, and cultural studies to expand current scholarship on both sanctity and crisis, offering fresh perspectives on how medieval and early modern communities understood and responded to disruption through the lens of the sacred.Intended for researchers in the field of medieval and early modern history, Renaissance studies, religious studies, theology, hagiography, and literature, this book will appeal in particular to those interested in the cultural history of crisis, the social functions of sanctity, and interdisciplinary approaches to pre-modern European studies.
