Nations and Nationalism in World History challenges the commonly
accepted understanding of nations as being exclusively modern and
European in origin by drawing attention to evidence that indicates
that nations are found in antiquity and the Middle Ages, and
throughout the world. Locating the concept of nations at all
periods of history and around the world, Steven Grosby discusses a
diverse array of manifestations of nations throughout history,
drawing upon its complex intersections with religion, ethnicity,
law, politics, and warfare. Among the societies discussed
throughout the text are ancient Israel, Sasanian Iran, medieval Sri
Lanka, Korea, Vietnam, and Scotland. Grosby analyzes how the
category nation can be used for historical comparison, indicating
both the ways ancient and medieval nations differ from modern
nations, and the different relations over time between nation and
civilization. This analysis leads students to re-examine the
assumptions of the historical periodization of antiquity, the
Middle Ages, and modern times. It further distinguishes nation and
the patriotic attachment to it from the uncivil ideology of
nationalism. This book will benefit students in world history and
political science courses, as well as ethnic studies or peace and
conflict studies courses that wish to provide some historical
context.
