Theories of Nationalism and National Identity: An Introduction
In this video, I introduce some foundational theories of nationalism and national identity. I look at primordialists like Edward Shills and Clifford Geertz and modernists including Ernest Gellner (Nations and Nationalism) and Benedict Anderson (Imagined Communities). Finally, I take a quick look at the Marxist Hobsbawm’s The Invention of Tradition.
