Synopsis
A collection of readings on the subject of nationalism, each introduced by a brief historical essay and fully annotated, this anthology strives to take the discussion beyond the classical argumentation and move it onto a new, contemporary platform. Two of the foremost authorities on nationalism, the editors supplement familiar names such as Fichte, Mazzini and Herder with newer contributions from Max Weber, Eric Hobsbawm, Paul Gilroy, Miroslav Hroch, and others., Being national is the condition of our times, yet never before has the idea of the nation been under such scrutiny. With the collapse of the bi-polar world of the Cold War, there has also been a parallel rise in the subnational--the claims of local, regional, and ethnic minorities--economic globalization, American cultural hegemony, international migration, and diasporization. In Becoming National Eley and Suny, two of the foremost authorities onnationalism, acknowledge these changes by combinging a diverse selection of readings with a unifying introduction and instructive headnotes, creating a text that moves the discussion of nationalism onto a new andcontemporary level. Each group of readings is introduced by a brief historical essay, and the readings are fully annotated. Emphasizing the recent intellectual advances and influential ideas of Miroslav Hroch, Benedict Anderson, Paul Gilroy, Stuart Hall, Lauren Berlant, and a host of others, this book underscores the nineteenth and twentieth century nationalist theories to show not only where scholars of nationalism have been but where they are going. Drawing on the strengths of recent culturalstudies, including race and gender identities, the editors show that though politics is the ground upon which nationalism is constructed, culture is the terrain on which it is elaborated and foughtover., Being national is the condition of our times, yet never before has the idea of the nation been under such scrutiny.

- u***m (9)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis item arrived as described and on time. I gave the four star rating because I think it was banged up a bit in shipping (envelope type package with bubble wrap) and maybe should have been put in a box with bubble wrap. My son is giving this to his new wife on their wedding day so I didn't want to chance sending it back since it was the only new version I could find online for him. I think she'll love it anyway. Overall, I'd say I'm really pleased though and would recommend this seller.
