Nationalism is a movement and a state of mind that brings together
national identity, consciousness, and collectivities. It
accomplished the great transformation from the old order to
modernity; it placed imagination above production, distribution,
and exchange; and it altered the nature of power over people and
territories that shapes and directs the social and political world.
A five-country study that spans five hundred years, this
historically oriented work in sociology bids well to replace all
previous works on the subject. The theme, simple yet complex,
suggests that England was the front-runner, with its earliest sense
of self-conscious nationalism and its pragmatic ways; it utilized
existing institutions while transforming itself. The Americans
followed, with no formed institutions to impede them. France,
Germany, and Russia took the same, now marked, path, modifying
nationalism in the process. Nationalism is based on empirical data
in four languages - legal documents; period dictionaries; memoirs;
correspondence; literary works; theological, political, and
philosophical writings; biographies; statistics; and histories.
Nowhere else is the complex interaction of structural, cultural,
and psychological factors so thoroughly explained. Nowhere else are
concepts like identity, anomie, and elites brought so refreshingly
to life.
