In beautifully simple language, Gregory Baum discusses the writings
of four men whose nationalism was shaped by their religion and
their time: Martin Buber's speeches on Zionism before the creation
of Israel; Mahatma Gandhi's influential incitement to peaceful
resistance against British imperialism; Paul Tillich's book on
socialism and nationalism which was banned by the Nazis; and
Jacques Grand'Maison's defence of Quebecois nationalism in the wake
of the province's Quiet Revolution. Baum also examines nationalism
in a world dominated by transnational corporations and economic
globalization: for example, how does Scottish nationalism fit
within the European Union, and how can the Church of Scotland
contribute to this secular movement? Finally, Baum turns to Quebec
and its tension between ethnic and civil nationalism. As a province
with a homogenous and distinctive culture that is different from
that of the country surrounding it, how can Quebec guarantee its
own survival in an ethically acceptable way? This quiet masterpiece
of clear thinking and humane reasoning illuminates the uses and
misdirections of one of the most powerful forces in politics and
society.
