Bringing together the best and most representative of these writings, \u003ci\u003eNations and Nationalism\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reader for students of political theory and related fields. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssembled by two influential scholars, the volume includes the core, basic texts required for any course on nationalism, along with a selection of less well-known contributions that illuminates the debates. Articles and chapters cover the origins, different types, and concepts of nationalism; its relationship with race, gender, and ethnicity; the impact of globalization, post-communism, and migration; and debates about citizenship and self-determination. Classic writers such as Ernest Gellner, Anthony Smith, Benedict Anderson, and John Breuilly are represented along with younger scholars who have played a critical role in reshaping contemporary attitudes toward the topic. \u003c\/p\u003eSelected writings by historians, sociologists, and anthropologists supplement contributions from political scientists so that students will be able to compare theories and debates across a range of disciplines and time periods. Taken together, the chapters provide a balanced and vivid overview of how nationalism has exploded as a topic of inquiry over the last two decades and how it has interacted with other political and social forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Spencer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081353626X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813536262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 6.88w x 0.78d","brand":"Philip Spencer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988288045311,"sku":"9780813536262","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d82b1aba-4ef0-4856-8073-91db6900a6dc.jpg?v=1683293685","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nations-and-nationalism-philip-spencer-9780813536262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
