About this book

This book compares competing ways of understanding nation-building and nationalism. Its method is a critical rereading of influential theorists, among them Benedict Anderson and Eric Hobsbawm, whose ideas are tested against the processes they describe.

Jim Mac Laughlin looks at nation-building across a range of ethnic and social class settings, paying close attention to the contested ground on which nationalist ideologies tend to grow. The author offers both theoretical and empirical analysis, so the book serves students and scholars of politics, nationalism and ethnic conflict, as well as general readers interested in where national identity comes from.
