This book is a comparative study of the meaning, characteristics, and development of pan-movements, a synonym for macro-nationalisms, in the last century. It seeks to clarify the origins and developments of all the important pan-movements as historical phenomena. Beginning with an introductory chapter defining the characteristics of nationalism per se, Professor Snyder, in this companion volume to his Global Mini-Nationalisms: Autonomy or Independence, considers specific pan-movements which have sought to combine existing nationalisms into a larger entity: Pan-Slavism, Pan-Germanism, Pan-Europeanism, the pan-movements of Turkey, Pan-Islamism, Pan-Arabism, Zionism, Pan-Asianism, Pan-Africanism, et al. Although studies of these pan-movements exist individually, this is the first comparative study of macronationalisms.

"The guidebook of Professor Snyder can be regarded not only as a unique undertaking, but also as one of the best sources of information on the Second World War ever published." Journal of Asian History

Many nations--groups sharing linguistic and cultural bonds--still have not found a true homeland. This phenomenon is examined in a scholarly study: Global Mini-Nationalisms. This book--the work of noted historian Louis L. Snyder--provides a comparative examination of the forces of mini-nationalism at work all over the world. Several sections consider the resurgence of nationalist tendencies in the various republics of the Soviet Union, nationalist movements within African countries, and those in the Middle East.
