Selected AbstractsThe War that Wasn't: Religious Conflict and Compromise in the Common Schools of New York State, 1865,1900 by Benjamin JusticeHISTORY OF EDUCATION QUARTERLY, Issue 4 2006MARLA A. BENNETT [source] Marriage, Protestantism, and Religious Conflict in Nineteenth-Century Puerto RicoJOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS HISTORY, Issue 3 2000Luis Martínez-Fernández First page of article [source] Law and the Image of a Nation: Religious Conflict and Religious Freedom in a Brazilian Criminal CaseLAW & SOCIAL INQUIRY, Issue 1 2001Eric W. Kramer This article examines a criminal trial in Brazil that touched on the imagined role of religion in public life. The case involved a Protestant minister accused of religious discrimination and of vilipending an image of Nossa Senhora Aparecida, the patron saint of Brazil. The prosecution argued and the court concurred that the minister's iconoclastic verbal and physical gestures endangered the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom. Yet the defense claimed that his actions, stemming from his religious convictions, expressed this same principle of freedom. Different visions of religious free-dom are at stake in the case as well as how such freedom relates to the rights and private lives of citizens. Placed in the history of church-state relations in Brazil, the case raises the problem of interpreting concepts of religious pluralism, religious freedom, and freedom of expression in Brazilian law.

These are alternatively characterized as state versus substate conflicts, religious conflicts or the outgrowth of the rise in fundamentalism, class struggle between the West and the Third World resulting from globalization, and the lack of democratic government in those states that breed terrorists. Whereas religious conflict is difficult to fix if true and globalization hard to stop, the democratic peace offers promise because changing the form of government is a conceivable goal. But would it help? Samuel Huntington provides an interesting, if unintended, challenge to the democratic peace in both The Third Wave and The Clash of Civilizations. If democracy is reversible under some circumstances, can it really lead to a lasting peace? If there are cultural divisions in the world, are these necessarily united by polity? If racism is real, does polity really eliminate it? Based on Huntington, the democratic peace falters. [source] Early Lithuanian nationalism: sources of its legitimate meanings in an environment of shifting boundariesNATIONS AND NATIONALISM, Issue 3 2002Algis Valantiejus The objective of this article is to formulate the problem of modernity of the nation more specifically with reference to early Lithuanian nationalism. The problem is to find out how national solidarity emerges in the modernising social context in which factors reflecting nationally relevant conflicts of group interests are more valid. The argument, to summarise, is that the decisive phase of Lithuanian nationalism came with the external religious conflict, on the one hand, and the secular liberal movement, on the other. The analysis also explains why early Lithuanian nationalism was of the ,belated' type. It was the interaction of ethno,religious factors, socio,economic interests and the rapidly increasing role of the intelligentsia that reinforced the symbolic relations of language and social solidarity.
