‘Outsiders’ conceived of its borders and identity; they led its national army well after independence; people whose roots within existing memory lie outside the new borders of the country, ruled and continue to rule it; its population consists in its majority of people whose geographic ‘origins’ within living memory are located outside the borders of the nation-state …; the country has a large dependence on foreign money to support its resource-poor economy; and claims are put forth by neighboring powerful states on its very identity (Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Nasirist Egypt, to list the more prominent ones historically), or on parts of it (the West Bank and Palestinian Jordanians) by a strong nationalist movement (namely, the PLO). It is in the context of this wide array of factors that Jordanian nationalist discourse has a more difficult time stabilizing the terms and essences it posits than the nationalist discourses of other postcolonial nation-states. (Massad, 2001: 15)
