Book Description:

This interdisciplinary 1997 book makes an original contribution to arguments about the meaning and origin of nationalism, ethnicity and nationhood, and challenges the widely-accepted 'modernist' theories of Eric Hobsbawm, Benedict Anderson and others. Its argument incorporates careful analysis of English, Irish, South Slav and African examples, and suggests finally an important contrast between Christianity and Islam.
