Description
Nations and nationalism remain powerful phenomena in the contemporary world.
Why do they continue to inspire such passion and attachments?
Myths and Memories of the Nation explores the roots of nationalism by examining the myths, symbols and memories of the nation through a 'ethno-symbolic' approach.
The book reveals the continuing power of myth and memory to mobilise, define and shape people and their destinies.
It examines the variety and durability of ethnic attachments and national identities, and assesses the contemporary revival of ethnic conflicts and nationalism.
The book analyses the depth of ethnic attachments and the persistence of nations to this day.
