This book offers the most up-to-date survey of current perspectives
and debates in the fields of nations and nationalism. It brings
together a selected group of leading scholars in each of the
sub-fields who offer a comprehensive and challenging approach to
the study of nationalism. The authors represent a variety of
outlooks which include history, sociology, politics, gender studies
and ethnography while providing a wide coverage in historical and
geographical terms.
Understanding Nationalism commemorates the tenth anniversary of
the creation of the Association for the Study of Ethnicity and
Nationalism and in so doing it undoubtedly marks the coming of age
of nationalism as a subject for scholarly production and debate.
All the authors have written pioneering studies on ethnicity and
nationalism: Walker Connor and Steven Grosby on the primordial
attachments of nationalists, John Armstrong and Anthony Smith on
the historical and symbolic roots of nations, John Hutchinson and
Kosaku Yoshino on cultural nationalism, John Breuilly on the
relationship between state and nationalism, Crawford Young on the
relationship between nation-states and cultural pluralism, Michael
Mann on nationalism and politics, Nira Yuval-Davis on gender and
nation and Montserrat Guibernau on contemporary nationalisms.
This volume will be indispensable for anyone interested in the
phenomenon of nationalism today and will be widely recommended on
courses in politics, sociology and related disciplines.
