What are the origins of nationalism and why is it capable of
arousing such intense emotions? In this major study, Azar Gat
counters the prevailing fashionable theories according to which
nations and nationalism are modern and contrived or 'invented'. He
sweeps across history and around the globe to reveal that ethnicity
has always been highly political and that nations and national
states have existed since the beginning of statehood millennia ago.
He traces the deep roots of ethnicity and nationalism in human
nature, showing how culture fits into human evolution from as early
as our aboriginal condition and, in conjunction with kinship,
defines ethnicity and ethnic allegiances. From the rise of states
and empires to the present day, this book sheds new light on the
explosive nature of ethnicity and nationalism, as well as on their
more liberating and altruistic roles in forging identity and
solidarity.
