Nationalism by Philip Spencer
Nationalism provides an indispensable review of the study of nationalism that both introduces and critically positions all the main issues, theories and contemporary debates.
NATIONALISM IN QUESTION is an admirable achievementAt once erudite and critically acute, it succeeds in plumbing anew the archaeology of the most significant political construct(ion) of modernity -- as an Idea, a social formation, a mode of producing collective identity -- and in charting its possible futures. Is there anything fresh to be said about one of the most discussed concepts of our epoch? Spencer and Wollman leave no doubt that the answer is yes. Emphatically, engagingly so. - John Comaroff, University of Chicago
`This book offers an impressively sustained guide to the complex range of debates around nationalism. Conceptually
lucid and empirically informed, it also adds a renewed critical emphasis to the range of current scholarly
positions.′ - Gregor Mclennan, University of Bristol
