What are the imagined communities that compel men to kill or to die
for an idea of a nation? This notion of nationhood had its origins
in the founding of the Americas, but was then adopted and
transformed by populist movements in nineteenth-century Europe. It
became the rallying cry for anti-Imperialism as well as the abiding
explanation for colonialism. In this scintillating, groundbreaking
work of intellectual history Anderson explores how ideas are formed
and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular
culture, and the way that they can make people do extraordinary
things. In the twenty-first century, these debates on the nature of
the nation state are even more urgent. As new nations rise, vying
for influence, and old empires decline, we must understand who we
are as a community in the face of history, and change.
