Benedict Anderson repudiates the notion that nations are something natural instead, he asserts that a nation is a socially constructed artifact based on cherished ideas and sentiments about community, solidarity, and belonging.
This monumental work aims at delineating the processes by which the nation came to be imagined and once imagined, adapted, and transformed. First published in 1983, the book is substantiated with plenty of case studies from across the globe.
Written by notable political thinker Benedict Anderson – a professor of international studies, and government and Asian studies at Cornell University – Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism aims at exploring the origin of nationalism, a very pertinent element in contemporary global politics.
