Description

Azar Gat explores the origins and evolution of nationalism, challenging prevailing theories that view nations as modern constructs. This comprehensive study spans history and geography to reveal that ethnicity has always been deeply intertwined with politics, with nations and national states emerging alongside statehood millennia ago. Gat examines how culture and kinship shape ethnicity and ethnic allegiances, tracing their roots in human nature from our earliest aboriginal conditions. He sheds new light on the complex and often explosive nature of ethnicity and nationalism, as well as their role in forging identity and solidarity. Through a sweeping narrative, Gat offers a nuanced understanding of the intricate relationships between culture, politics, and human evolution, providing fresh insights into the enduring power of ethnicity and nationalism.
