"This book strikes me as superior!"--Joseph Rothschild, Columbia University, author of Return To Diversity"I know of no other volume that can so thoroughly bring one up to speed on the most cutting-edge scholarship on nationalism. The introductory survey is alone worth the price of the book."--Brian A. Porter, University of Michigan"This book strikes me as superior!"--Joseph Rothschild, Columbia University, author of Return To Diversity"An excellent collection, wide-ranging in its historical and geographical reach and containing many pieces that are difficult to come by. A book for courses in nationalism as well as political and historical sociology."--Krishan Kumar, University of Virginia"This is an outstanding collection of the best minds in the field. Both Western and non-Western cases are well represented. Perfect for a core text at the undergraduate or graduate level."--Elizabeth Clark, West Texas A&M University
