Nationalism and national identity are too multifaceted and elusive phenomena to be studied from the perspective of a single academic discipline.
Ethnonationalism in the Contemporary World is an unprecedented effort to surmount this barrier. Contributors represent a broad array of disciplines: anthropology, comparative politics, geography, history, linguistics, political science, sociology, social psychology, and international relations.
The authors are world-renowned authorities both within their respective disciplines and the field of national identity. Their ranks include the current editors-in-chief of five of the six leading journals within that field, as well as the founding editor of the sixth. All contributors have been authoring landmark pieces on national identity for several years, many for decades.
With the sole exception of a focal essay by Walker Connor, who coined the term 'ethnonationalism' and to whom the book is dedicated, none of the contributions have previously been published. They address the core issues of identity, including race and identity, race and nation, ethnicity and nation, language and nation, religion and nation, homelands and homeland psychology, dating the creation of nations, the primordial debate, managing ethnic conflict, and the relationship of nationalism to patriotism. |
