When strangers meet in social clubs, watch reality television, or
interact on Facebook, they contribute to the social glue of mass
society-not because they promote civic engagement or democracy, but
because they enact the sacred promise of friendship. Where most
theories of nationalism focus on issues of collective identity
formation, Kaplan's novel framework turns attention to compatriots'
experience of solidarity and how it builds on interpersonal ties
and performances of public intimacy. Combining critical analyses of
contemporary theories of nationalism, civil society, and politics
of friendship with in-depth empirical case studies of social club
sociability, Kaplan ultimately shows that strangers-turned-friends
acquire symbolic, male-centered meaning and generate feelings of
national solidarity.
