The Sociology of Nationalism Summary
| In recent years nationalism has emerged as a dominant issue of our time. This is a balanced account of the key points of a subject which is too often obscured by polemic. |

|
| David McCrone examines why nationalism is on the rise despite the collapse of communism and the declining relevancy of the nation state. He outlines the fall and rise of nationalism and its complex relationship to ethnicity and the nation state. He describes nationalists as "tomorrow's ancestors" who construct their own identity and past in order to legitimate the present and offer signposts for the future. Exploring the different manifestations of nationalism from colonial to post-communist, McCrone considers the work of Ernest Geller on the sociology of nationalism. Throughout, "The Sociology of Nationalism" breaks new ground by showing how nationalism constitutes a social movement which cannot be categorized simply as an ideology of the left or right. |
