The Necessary Nation

Meer over het boek

Gregory Jusdanis presents a provocative defense of nationalism, arguing that the nation serves as a guardian of cultural diversity and a driver of modernization. Amidst widespread critique of the nation-state post-Cold War, he challenges the notion that cultural nationalism leads to xenophobia. Instead, he highlights the beneficial interplay between nation-building and cultural identity, asserting that they can work together to foster progress rather than regression.
