Review
an impressive volume of easy-to-read, clear and concise essays ... an extremely thorough and illuminating book. (Gilles Andréani, Survival)
All students of nationalism will want to possess this volume. Not only are the individual contributions excellent, with useful up-to-date bibliographies, but there is a bonus in the form of helpful chronologies and maps showing the worldwide spread of nationalism. (Krishan Kumar, International Affairs)
Taken at once, the book juxtaposes advances from numerous regional and thematic subfields to open up theoretical vistas for specialists. At the same time, its chapters decorate this theoretical tableau with rich detail. As such the book will engage both students and lay readers. (Eric Kaufmann, LSE Review of Books)
The book is both a handy reference to the state of the field and the place for students and experts alike to begin an investigation of a complex and fraught subject which never seems to lose its potency to disturb ... Breuilly has provided one of the best places to delve deeply into the murky and turbulent waters of national history. In an age when ethnic and religious conflicts roil our world, understanding how we ended up with the nation form may be a useful first step to thinking beyond that confining framework. (Ronald Grigor Suny, English Historical Review)
