Nationalism by Richard Bosworth
Contains introductions to the ideologies that shaped the twentieth century. This book provides a study of nationalism that explores the origins and purpose of the division of human kind into national groupings. Exploring the history of nationalism, it suggests that nations work best when they possess the ability to criticise their nationalism."A stunning account of how Europe
came to embrace nationalist attachments to land and flags and anthems and ancestry.. Bosworths grim tale of avaricious patriotism and chauvinist fealty gone feral is told with ironic grace and deftness."
David Lowenthal, Professor Emeritus, University College London
"Nationalism is a fresh and refreshing exploration of this seemingly inextinguishable phenomenon that deserves to be widely read and its message taken very seriously. [I]t is [both] deeply learned and unobtrusively analytical, [as well as] openly personal, spikily argumentative and; yes, critical of a current of ideology, culture and politics the author considers neither natural nor, over time, beneficial to the human species."
Martin Blinkhorn, Professor Emeritus of Modern European History, Lancaster University
"This is an intellectually stimulating and playful volume which many readers will find satisfying."
Atsuko Ichijo, Kingston University
