Liberal and illiberal nationalisms

"How people construct their idea of home influences the types of nationalisms that emerge in various parts of the world. These nationalisms can be inclusive or exclusionary, tolerant or intolerant, peaceful or violent. In this important new book, Ray Taras provides a comprehensive analysis of the history and study of nationalism. He describes what happens when home is defined as empire (Russia and India), secessionist state (KwaZulu and Quebec), uninational Volkstaat (Germany and Israel), or transnational community (Islam and anti-Americanism). Finally, he explores the idea that the mantra of multiculturalism has fuelled conflicts over what home is and generates divisions within and between communities."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: Most historians accept that nationalism was first harnessed as an instrument of politics at the time of the French Revolution - staged in the name of les peuples francais - and the wars waged by Napoleon shortly afterwards.
