ResumoAbstract This article examines the work of figures from different cultures who contributed fundamentally to the transition from traditional cultural norms to modern nationalism. These people included Edward Wilmot Blyden of Liberia, Johann Gottfried von Herder of Germany and Wang T'ao of China. They are prime examples of the ‘Creoles’ or ‘historicist intellectuals’ identified in the current literature on the origins of nationalism. Their experiences and their ideas were remarkably similar even though they worked in different times and locations.
