Reviews'An important, balanced and erudite contribution to a series of hotly contested debates in which the author himself has been a central and active participant. This is a remarkable achievement.' - Professor John Stone, George Mason University, USA 'Anthony Smith has made significant contributions to the study of nationalism, which richly inform this useful overview of major theories within the field. (He has) provided an essential service to building theory and to addressing the havoc that nationalism has wrought in the current era.' - Anthony W. Marx, Columbia University, USA

SynopsisThe first major study in over three decades to explore the essential arguments of all the major theoretical interpretations of nationalism, from the modernist approaches of Gellner, Nairn, Breuilly, Giddens and Hobsbawm to the alternative paradigms of van den Bergh and Geertz, Armstrong and Smith himself. In a style accessible to the student and the general reader Smith traces the changing view of this hotly discussed topic within the current political, cultural and socioeconomic arena. He also analyses the contributions of such historians, sociologists and political scientists as Seton-Watson, Reynolds, Hastings, Horowitz and Brass. The survey concludes with an analysis of post-modern approaches to national identity, gender and nation, making it indispensable reading to all those interested in gaining full and authoritative knowledge of nationalism., The first major study in over three decades to explore the essential arguments of all the major theoretical interpretations of nationalism, from the modernist approaches of Gellner, Nairn, Breuilly, Giddens and Hobsbawm to the alternative paradigms of van den Bergh and Geertz, Armstrong and Smith himself.In a style accessible to the student and the general reader Smith traces the changing view of this hotly discussed topic within the current political, cultural and socioeconomic arena.
