As rulers seek to rationalize rule within their historically contingent boundaries, the people who live within those boundaries will begin to face an altered world. New roads will open up regular contact with people who were previously foreign to them; boundary walls may close off contact, or radically change its nature, with people who were previously considered to be neighbors (Sahlins, 1989). Newly installed religious authorities may demand novel sorts of rituals and prayers; former ritual authorities may be banned from practice. And new languages may be required for petitions, licenses, or simply for bargaining with the tax collector. In light of state-building processes, people may alter their sense of national identity, their religion, and their language.
