Book Reviews of Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism, New Edition

Book Review: An eloquent masterpiece and an all defining reflection
Summary: 5 Stars

Without doubt the finest reflection on the origin and spread of nationalism ever written, not only in terms of its informed, imaginative perspective but also in the erudite quality of Anderson's narrative. As an expert on the history of South-East Asia, Anderson brings a valuable perspective to the all too Euro-centric debate on the rise of the nation state and the emotional attachment to it. A must for all who seek to discover the elusive and thusfar ill-defined origins of nationalism.
