This is false. America is indisputably a nation, and one that desperately needs to protect its interests, its borders, and its identity. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump swept nationalism to the forefront of the political debate. This is a good thing. Nationalism is usually assumed to be a dirty word, but it is a foundation of democratic self-government and of international peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNational Review \u003c\/em\u003eeditor Rich Lowry refutes critics on left and the right, reclaiming the term \"nationalism\" from those who equate it with racism, militarism and fascism. He explains how nationalism is an American tradition, a thread that runs through such diverse leaders as Alexander Hamilton, Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ronald Reagan. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Case for Nationalism\u003c\/em\u003e, Lowry explains how nationalism was central to the American Project. It fueled the American Revolution and the ratification of the Constitution. It preserved the country during the Civil War. It led to the expansion of the American nation's territory and power, and eventually to our invaluable contribution to creating an international system of self-governing nations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's time to recover a healthy American nationalism, and especially a cultural nationalism that insists on the assimilation of immigrants and that protects our history, civic rituals and traditions, which are under constant threat. At a time in which our nation is plagued by self-doubt and self-criticism, \u003cem\u003eThe Case for Nationalism \u003c\/em\u003eoffers a path for America to regain its national self-confidence and achieve continued greatness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rich Lowry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062839640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062839640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadside Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Rich Lowry","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988796571903,"sku":"9780062839640","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2937b06-74f1-46b4-89b6-196004b3d48c.jpg?v=1683296446","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-case-for-nationalism-rich-lowry-9780062839640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
