520 _aErnest Gellner's Nations and Nationalism provides one of the most powerful and original interpretations of the modern nationalism. Drawing upon a range of disciplines, including philosophy, anthropology, sociology, politics and history, Gellner argues that nationalism is an inescapable consequence of modernity. For this new edition, John Breuilly provides a substantial introduction, analyzing Gellner's arguments and tracing and evaluating the ways in which the field has changed over the past two decades. Suggestions for further reading have been updated.
