Using historical and anthropological analysis, in Post-Colonial Nations in Historical and Cultural Context, Dmitri M. Bondarenko examines nation-building in Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. He examines the nation and state as concepts and how these are changing globally, particularly in regard to the idea that the fundamental characteristic of a nation is a culturally homogeneous community. This feature became a cornerstone of the concept of the nation at its formation in the West by the end of the eighteenth century, but post-colonial migration flows from the Global South to the Global North are increasing multi-culturalism in the North. In contrast, liberated states of Asia and Africa have been multi-cultural from earlier on as they inherited the colonial borders in which typically many peoples were united. Throughout the book, Bondarenko argues that this history of multi-culturalism is an advantage to development in the Global South and that it’s necessary to depart from the classical, Western concept of the nation to simultaneously support citizen unity while preserving cultural diversity.

İslâm düşünce tarihi boyunca evrene farklı perspektiflerden bakış yapan birçok evren modeli tasarlandı. Bunların içinde ilk önce geliştireni ve en çok tanınanı Müslüman kelâm bilginleri tarafından savunulan atomcu evren modelidir. Ancak bu model başlangıçtan itibaren hem kelâmın kendi içinden hem de felsefe kanadından çeşitli eleştirilere mâruz kaldı. Bu eleştirilerden bazıları atomculuğun kelâmda kendini geliştirip daha tutarlı hale gelmesine katkı sağlarken, bazıları da modelin müteahhirûn dönemde etkinliğini yitirmesine zemin hazırladı. Klasik İslâm düşüncesinde kelâm atomculuğuna yöneltilen eleştirileri Nazzâm (ö. 231/845), Kindî (ö. 252/866), İbn Sînâ (ö. 428/1037), İbn Hazm (ö. 456/1064) ve İbn Meymûn (ö. 601/1204) örnekleri üzerinden ele alan bu çalışmada, İbn Metteveyh (ö. 468/1075), Cüveynî (ö. 478/1085) ve Gazzâlî (ö. 505/1111) gibi kelâmcıların atomculuğa dair görüşlerine de yer verilmiştir.
