'eoeAnderson'e(tm)s knowledge of a vast range of relevant historical literature is most impressive; his presentation of the gist of it is both masterly and lucid.'e�, "[S]parkling, readable, densely packed."-Peter Worsley, The Guardian "[A] brilliant little book."-Neal Ascherson, The Observer "Anderson's knowlege of a vast range of relevant historical literature is most impressive; his presentation of the gist of it is both masterly and lucid."-Edmund Leach, The New Statesman, "One of the greatest ... deserves still to be central to our thinking about the world." --T. J. Clark, London Review of Books "Anderson's work stands as an inspiration not only to his students, his readers, and all those whose lives have been affected by his work, but also to all those who reject the false choice between politics and scholarship, and who seek to live accordingly." -- Nation "Anderson transformed the study of nationalism ... and was renowned not only for his theoretical contributions but also for his detailed examinations of language and power in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines." -- New York Times "Far and away the most influential study of nationalism ... As well-versed in novels and poetry as he was in scholarship, Anderson was an eloquent advocate for global culture." --Jeet Heer, New Republic "Everything Anderson wrote was boldly original ... He was never content to tell an audience what they wanted to hear." --Anthony Reid, Guardian "This is a book to be owned and read, re-read, and treasured." -- Academic Library Book Review "Anderson's knowledge of a vast range of relevant historical literature is most impressive; his presentation of the gist of it is both masterly and lucid." --Edmund Leach, New Statesman "Everything Anderson wrote was boldly original ... He was never content to tell an audience what they wanted to hear." --Anthony Reid, Guardian "A brilliant little book." --Neal Ascherson, Observer "Sparkling, readable, densely packed." --Peter Worsley, Guardian

Synopsis
A new edition of the definitive book on nationalism--over a quarter of a million copies sold worldwide. "Imagined Communities," Benedict Anderson's brilliant book on nationalism, forged a new field of study when it first appeared in 1983. Since then it has sold over a quarter of a million copies and is widely considered the most important book on the subject. In this greatly anticipated revised edition, Anderson updates and elaborates on the core question: what makes people live, die and kill in the name of nations? He shows how an originary nationalism born in the Americas was adopted by popular movements in Europe, by imperialist powers, and by the anti-imperialist resistances in Asia and Africa, and explores the way communities were created by the growth of the nation-state, the interaction between capitalism and printing, and the birth of vernacular languages-of-state. Anderson revisits these fundamental ideas, showing how their relevance has been tested by the events of the past two decades., The world-famous work on the origins and development of nationalism The full magnitude of Benedict Anderson's intellectual achievement is still being appreciated and debated. Imagined Communities remains the most influential book on the origins of nationalism, filling the vacuum that previously existed in the traditions of Western thought. Cited more often than any other single English-language work in the human sciences, it is read around the world in more than thirty translations. Written with exemplary clarity, this illuminating study traces the emergence of community as an idea to South America, rather than to nineteenth-century Europe. Later, this sense of belonging was formed and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular culture, through print, literature, maps and museums. Following the rise and conflict of nations and the decline of empires, Anderson draws on examples from South East Asia, Latin America and Europe's recent past to show how nationalism shaped the modern world., Imagined Communities, Benedict Anderson's brilliant book on nationalism, forged a new field of study when it first appeared in 1983.
