Nationalism And Modernism by Anthony Smith

NATIONALISM AND MODERNISM

These are some of the questions addressed in Anthony Smith’s thought-provoking analysis of recent approaches and theories of nations and nationalism.

In the first part of his survey, Smith explores the varieties of ‘modernism’, the current orthodoxy in the field, concentrating on the work of such seminal figures as Gellner, Nairn, Giddens, Breuilly, Anderson and Hobsbawm.

In the second part he presents the critics of modernism and their alternatives, from the primordialisms of van den Berghe and Geertz to the ethno-symbolic approaches of Armstrong and Smith, as well as the contributions of, among others, Seton- Watson, Greenfeld, Horowitz, Connor, Reynolds and Brass.

The survey concludes with a brief analysis of some ‘postmodern’ approaches to issues of contemporary national identity, gender and nation, civic and ethnic nationalisms, as well as supranationalism and globalisation.

The first comprehensive theoretical survey of the subject of nationalism for nearly thirty years, Nationalism and Modernism provides a concise and balanced guide to its often-confusing debates, revealing a rich and complex field rent by deep disagreements and rival paradigms.

This work places nationalism firmly within the arena of current political and cultural thought and paves the way to more systematic and focused progress in this rapidly expanding field.
