Writing the History of Nationalism Summary

Writing the History of Nationalism by Prof. Stefan Berger (Professor of Modern German and Comparative European History, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany)

What is nationalism and how can we study it from a historical perspective? Writing the History of Nationalism answers this question by examining eleven historical approaches to nationalism studies in theory and practice. An impressive cast of contributors cover the history of nationalism from a wide range of thematic approaches, from traditional modernist and Marxist perspectives to more recent debates around gender. postcolonialism and the global turn in history writing. This book is essential reading for undergraduate students of history, politics and sociology wanting to understand the complex yet fascinating history of nationalism.

Writing the History of Nationalism Reviews

An incisive and illuminating exploration of the ways in which nationalism and national identity have been analyzed, theorized and written about. Written by experts in the field, this collection will doubtless make a valuable intervention into nationalism studies. * Paul Lawrence, Asa Briggs Professor of History, The Open University, UK *
This is the best book I have read on nationalism in a long time. Comprehensive, lucid and inventive, the book gathers the leading scholars in the field of nationalism studies to offer a much-needed shake-up of how we view and understand the writing of nationalism. * Rico Isaacs, Reader in Politics, Oxford Brookes University, UK *
