Nationalism provides a comprehensive exploration of nationalist
identity, ideology, and practice which centers the geographic
underpinnings of the phenomenon. It unpacks the fundamental
principles and the many variations of this global phenomenon, as it
examines nationalism through a spatial lens. Nationalism is the
dominant political force in the modern world and no other global
ideology is so strongly tied to concepts like territory, homeland,
frontiers, and boundaries. The authors delve into how nationalism
is fundamentally related to territory and place, why mapping is
critical to the nationalist endeavors, the role of performance and
personification, ethnonationalism, multinationalism, nationalist
movements, and how nationalism is evidenced and experienced in
cities and towns throughout the world. These provide a solid
summary of what makes nationalism so compelling, so uniting, and so
dangerous. Nationalism provides a fresh and compelling perspective
on a complicated and often controversial subject. Written in an
accessible and attractive style, the book will be especially useful
for classes in Geography, Global Studies, International Relations,
Political Science, Sociology, History, and Anthropology. It
provides information and conceptual insights to scholars interested
in a concise and sophisticated synthesis of contemporary
nationalism. For casual readers interested in the phenomenon of
nationalism, this book provides clear explanations and compelling
examples.
