In this thought-provoking new book, Anthony Smith analyses key
debates between historians and social scientists on the role of
nations and nationalism in history.
In a wide-ranging analysis of the work of historians, sociologists,
political scientists and others, he argues that there are three key
issues which have shaped debates in this field: first, the nature
and origin of nations and nationalism; second, the antiquity or
modernity of nations and nationalism; and third, the role of
nations and nationalism in historical, and especially recent,
social change.
Anthony Smith provides an incisive critique of the debate between
modernists, perennialists and primordialists over the origins,
development and contemporary significance of nations and
nationalism. Drawing on a wide range of examples from antiquity and
the medieval epoch, as well as the modern world, he develops a
distinctive ethnosymbolic account of nations and nationalism.
This important book by one of the world's leading authorities on
nationalism and ethnicity will be of particular interest to
students and scholars in history, sociology and politics.
