The Nation in History: Historiographical Debates about Ethnicity and Nationalism Paperback - 2000
by Anthony D. Smith
First line
The term primordialism is fairly recent, and it is used in a variety of ways, often pejoratively.
From the rear cover
An expert in the field analyzes the major debates between historians and social scientists on the nature and development of ethnic communities, nations, and nationalism.
In concise, accessible prose, Anthony D. Smith provides a probing account of the leading assumptions and explanations of nationalism in different historical epochs. Ranging broadly over the contributions and divergent perspectives of historians, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, and others who have contributed to these fundamental debates, Smith codifies the most cogent responses that have been offered to three defining issues in this area: the nature and origin of the nation and nationalism; and the role of nations and nationalism in historical, and especially recent, social change.
Using the examples of Persia, Israel, and Greece for long-term illustrations, Smith also discusses ethnic and national identities in France, Germany, England, Yugoslavia, and elsewhere to illuminate the uses and the meaning of alternative theories, and ends with a convincing case for the value of his own ethno-symbolist approach.
