How is it that the nation, a relatively old form of community, has risen to such prominence in an era so strongly identified with the individual? Bernard Yack argues that it is the inadequacy of our understanding of community--and especially the moral psychology that animates it--that has made this question so difficult to answer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYack develops a broader and more flexible theory of community and shows how to use it in the study of nations and nationalism. What makes nationalism such a powerful and morally problematic force in our lives is the interplay of old feelings of communal loyalty and relatively new beliefs about popular sovereignty. By uncovering this fraught relationship, Yack moves our understanding of nationalism beyond the oft-rehearsed debate between primordialists and modernists, those who exaggerate our loss of individuality and those who underestimate the depth of communal attachments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA brilliant and compelling book, \u003ci\u003eNationalism and the Moral Psychology of Community\u003c\/i\u003e sets out a revisionist conception of nationalism that cannot be ignored. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Yack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226944670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226944678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2012","brand":"Bernard Yack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119460020479,"sku":"9780226944678","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ab129af-66b3-4d59-80f2-41205f6e07f6.jpg?v=1687409476","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nationalism-and-the-moral-psychology-bernard-yack-9780226944678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
