Synopsis
To investigate the origin, perseverance, and ubiquity of nations, Smith (ethnicity and nationalism, London School of Economics) combines an ethno-symbolic historical and sociological analysis with a theoretical critique of both modernism and perennialism. Among his topics are the myth of the modern nations, nationalism and classical social theory, whether there were nations in antiquity, the Golden Age and national renewal, and romanticism and nationalism. Seven of the nine essays have been published previously. Distributed in the US by Blackwell Publishers. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
