Nationalism, the state of mind in which the individual's supreme
loyalty is owed to the nation-state, remains the strongest of
political emotions. As a historical phenomenon, it is always in
flux, changing according to no preconceived pattern. In "The New
Nationalism," Louis Snyder sees various forms of nationalism, and
categorizes them as a force for unity; a force for the status quo;
a force for independence; a force for fraternity; a force for
colonial expansion; a force for aggression; a force for economic
expansion; and a force for anti-colonialism.
In Snyder's opinion, nationalism should be differentiated from
Theodore Roosevelt's "New Nationalism," a phrase he borrowed from
Herbert D. Croly's "The Promise of American Life." Croly warned
that giving too much power to big industry and finance would lead
to the degradation of the masses, and that state and federal
intervention must be pursued on all economic fronts. Roosevelt
expanded upon this concept, and saw the flourishing of democratic
government as a means of reviving the old pioneer sense of
individualism and opportunity. Snyder, in contrast, extends the
work of the two major pioneers in the study of modern nationalism,
Carlton J. H. Hayes and Hans Kohn, in exploring this most powerful
sentiment of modern times, and showing how it relates to the
political, economic, and psychological tendencies of historical
development.
"The book is the mature fruit of much research and much thought.
It] will be an indispensable guide not only for the student of
contemporary history and international relations but also for the
statesman who has to deal with these problems and to learn that
they are of an importance far beyond all divisions of ideology or
civilization."--Hans Kohn
