The SAGE Handbook of Nations and Nationalism Edited by Gerard Delanty and Krishan Kumar Nationalism has long excited debate in political, social and cultural theory and remains a key field of enquiry among historians, anthropologists, and sociologists, as well as political scientists. It is also one of the critical media issues of our time. There are, however, surprisingly few volumes that bring together the best of this intellectual diversity into one collection. This handbook fills that gap, giving readers a critical survey of the latest theories and debates and looking at the issues that will shape their future. Its three sections guide the reader through the theoretical approaches to this field, its major themes - from modernity to memory, migration and genocide - and the diversity of nationalisms found around the globe. Relating theories and debates across a range of disciplines, the contributors illuminate themes of central importance in both historical and contemporary contexts, and show how nationalism has impacted upon, and interacted with, other political and social forces. This book provides a much-needed resource for scholars in international relations, political science, social theory and sociology.
