Riassunto

In this thought-provoking new book, Anthony Smith
analyses key debates between historians and social scientists on the role of
nations and nationalism in history.

In a wide-ranging analysis of the work of historians,
sociologists, political scientists and others, he argues that there are three
key issues which have shaped debates in this field: first, the nature and
origin of nations and nationalism; second, the antiquity or modernity of nations
and nationalism; and third, the role of nations and nationalism in historical,
and especially recent, social change.

Anthony Smith provides an incisive critique of the
debate between modernists, perennialists and primordialists over the origins, development
and contemporary significance of nations and nationalism. Drawing on a wide
range of examples from antiquity and the medieval epoch, as well as the modern
world, he develops a distinctive ethnosymbolic account of nations and
nationalism.

This important book by one of the world’s leading
authorities on nationalism and ethnicity will be of particular interest to
students and scholars in history, sociology and politics.
