Description
Catherine Frost's Morality and Nationalism explores the moral foundations of nationalism through a unique representation-based approach. By examining nationalist writings and almost 200 years of nationalism in Ireland and Quebec, Frost develops a theory that identifies common themes across various forms of nationalism. This study challenges traditional dichotomies in the field, instead focusing on how nationalists themselves argued for their cause. Frost's analysis provides both a basis for the moral claim of nationalism and grounds for evaluating and limiting this claim. The book will be of interest to political theorists working on nationalism, multiculturalism, and minority rights, as well as specialists in Irish and Quebec studies. Frost's work offers a nuanced understanding of nationalism, one that is grounded in primary sources and relevant to area studies where nationalism is an issue.
