Originally published in 1929, the author begins the discussion of
nationality by a survey of its main factors - race, language,
religion, the homeland, tradition, literature and the will to live
together. With the discovery that racial purity is a myth, race in
its biological sense loses much of its significance, though racial
self-consciousness remains virtually unaffected. The second half of
the volume studies the historical origins of nationality and its
world-wide ramifications. The nationalities of Europe are briefly
surveyed in a single chapter, while the British Empire, India, the
Jews and the Americans, have chapters to themselves. The study of
Asia is completed by an additional chapter on National Groups of
the East. Towards the end of the volume the author returns to the
discussion of the meaning of nationality, defines its relation to
the state, Patriotism, Internationalism and war, and sums up its
merits and its defects. This book is a re-issue originally
published in 1929. The language used and assumptions made are a
reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to
any reader by this re-publication.
