History of Nationalism?

Do you know any good books about nationalism, how and why it appeared, how people perceived kinship before it, why is it shit, etc.?

I'm sick of people claiming it as some immutable part of humanity but it's hard to find anything good about it that's not right-wing propaganda.

Read some Gaddafi you fggt.

Gadaffi's explanations are idealist. Might as well go and read the bible.

And no one on this entire board is?

I'm not.

orly

Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities is, to my knowledge, the best book-length treatment of this subject.

Well, you can't really be a marxist without rejecting idealism and embracing materialism.

This is a must read

Thank you guise, I'll read these, have a cute Nico in return.

Ideologies aren't ideals?

Being an idealist doesn't mean you just hold ideals or lofty goals. It means that you believe reality or at least reality as we experience it is fundamentally constructed in the mind and that the material is merely an expression of certain ideal forces. Whereas materialism suggests that our thoughts and how we perceive reality is ultimately dependent on the physical conditions we happen to find ourselves in.

This. Imagined Communities and Nations & Nationalism are the two most authoritative books on the subject of nationalism.

For a more specific case study, you could read Gérard Noiriel's fantastic Immigration, antisémitisme et racisme en France… that is if you understand French.

Well, I understood the title at least.

Not a book but

Is this good? I've seen tankies get really sperged out about it.

Go die a creepy virgin somewhere else you filth.

Qin Shi Huang started chinese nationalism.

Ten words to describe something, all erased into one word.

Fuck off Stalin, no one in Russia likes you.
Not even the village communes.
