This innovative and interdisciplinary text uses paired chapters, first to present the work of key authors in relation to each of a set of key themes–primordialism, modernism, power, and culture–and then to rethink these core concepts. The author engages with the main debates in the field, pointing out limitations in both modernist and primordialist approaches and showing how a clearer conceptualization of power and culture can help clarify our understanding of nationalism.
