The historic myths of a people/nation usually play an important role in the creation and consolidation of the basic concepts from which the self-image of that nation derives. These concepts include not only images of the nation itself, but also images of other peoples.
CHOLAS IN BOWLERS is a humorous, inspiring book tells the story of Jane and Graham's relationship and how it grew against the backdrop of one of South America's poorest, but some say most endearing, countries Bolivia. It also shows what can happen when one is prepared to be open to change, to embrace opportunities and to take risks.
The book examines the power of nationalism to solder nation-states back together rather than break them apart. In this innovative, cross-continental comparison of nation-building in Germany and Vietnam, the focus is on their shared experience of division, communism and regional integration.
