Why Do People Feel Loyalty To A Nation, As Well As To Family, Region, Class, And Religion? When Is A Healthy Sense Of National Identity Transformed Into Virulent Nationalism? What Are The Ethnic Roots Of So Many Contemporary Conflicts? Can Nations Be Created By Design When Colonial Or Multiethnic Empires Collapse? And What, Exactly, Is A Nation? Such Controversial Questions Are Analyzed In This Stimulating New Text. Smith Asks Why The First Modern Nationstates Developed In The West And Considers How Ethnic Origins, Religion, Language, And Shared Symbols Provide A Sense Of Nationeven To The Basques, Kurds, And Tamils Who Are Without States Of Their Own. He Illuminates His Argument With A Wealth Of Detailed Examples: The Divisions In The Former Soviet Union, Ethnic Separatism Within Europes, Panarab And Panafrican Movements, The Successes And Failures Of Nationbuilding On Every Continent. Throughout National Identity Smith Stresses The Positive As Well As The Pernicious Aspects Of Strong National Allegiances. A Provocative Final Chapter Considers The Prospects Of A Postnational World. This Will Be Of Particular Interest To Ethnographers, Students Of International Studies, Historical Sociologists, And Political Scientists.
