Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, ethnonationalism
has left its indelible mark on Europe and every other continent.
The latest events in the Balkans, in central and eastern Europe,
and in the former Soviet Union unequivocally testify to the power
and influence of ethnonationalism at the end of the second
millennium. What forces make people so committed to their
ethnonational groups that they are ready to ignore all other
concerns, first and foremost the rights and interests of people of
other ethnicities? What is the social psychological and
anthropological underpinning of ethnonationalism? And finally; why
and how do people adhere to nation alist attitudes and beliefs?
These questions are virtually impossible to avoid for anyone who
has directly felt the impact of ethnonationalism, but they also
present them selves to anyone who has indirectly experienced the
prejudices unleashed by ethnonationalist forces. This book attempts
to answer all these questions by focusing on national feeling and
the social psychological and anthropological founda tions that
underly the sense of belonging that is essential to nationalism. No
matter how qualitatively different nationalist attitudes and
beliefs are from national sentiment, the latter has to be
considered in any study of national ism.
